"Unfortunately I got sent out there at the same time Pippa was coming and we made contact and it sent us into our second team car,'' Davison said, according to ESPN.com. "Just a very unfortunate situation."

Davison's car was damaged in the crash and he did not finish the race. Juan Pablo Montoya won the race for the second time in his career.
