ario Franchitti's car went airborne into the catchfence on the final lap of the Grand Prix of Houston in a three-car crash that also collected E.J. Viso and Takuma Sato.

Franchitti stayed in the tub of his Chip Ganassi Racing car a lengthy time as Viso and Sato eventually climbed from theirs and walked away.

Race officials and safety workers tended to Franchitti until an ambulance arrived.

Team owner Ganassi said on TV the four-time IndyCar champion was OK.
