INDIANAPOLIS, May 17 (UPI) -- Three drivers were involved in crashes during Friday's qualifying runs for the Indianapolis 500 auto race, The Indianapolis Star reported.

SAVE MONEY ON TRAVEL DEALS

Ryan Briscoe and Will Power crashed on the first turn at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. E.J. Viso was involved in a less dramatic incident.

None were injured.

"We're behind him 200 percent", team owner Roger Penske told the newspaper after Briscoe damaged a third car this Indy Racing League season. "If we didn't think he could win the race, we wouldn't have him here. You don't put pressure on a driver at this stage in the game. He knows he needs to relax."

The race at the Brickyard will be run Sunday, May 25.

The pole winner is Target Chip Ganassi driver Scott Dixon, with Briscoe and teammate Dan Wheldon joining him on the front row.

The second row consists of Helio Castroneves, Danica Patrick and Tony Kanaan.
