    Swiss driver Simona De Silvestro burned both hands in a crash during Indy 500 practice Thursday, threatening her participation in qualifying Saturday and Sunday.

    HVM Racing owner Keith Wiggins said there's an outside chance the team would bring in another driver to get De Silvestro's backup car qualified, then bring her back to start the May 29 race at the back of the field.

    "That's something we're evaluating, but I think we're going to stick with Simona and hopefully try to get her back up to speed," he said.
