The inaugural Baltimore Grand Prix is Sunday afternoon and on Sunday morning, as is customary in the IZOD IndyCar Series, the cars took to the track for the warmup session.

During that warmup, Tony Kanaan trailed Helio Castroneves as the two entered turn one. According to Kanaan, he had no brakes. And above is what happened.

"No brakes at 170 plus mph wasn't much fun this morning. We will try to go to the back up car for the race. Neck and back are a bit sore," Kanaan said after the crash this morning.

Had Kanaan's car not launched over Castroneves' and slowed down a bit before hitting the tire barriers, the outcome could have been much worse. And Kanaan also acknowledged that too.

That corner worker definitely needs a new pair of coveralls wow.

good thing kanann is damn good driver, you can see him try to go right of helio to avoid him but the car gets loose and comes back, luckily it wasnt a direct hit, it stayed off the wall, and the corner worker had some red bull

kudos to helio running over to his fellow driver.
