INDIANAPOLIS -- James Hinchcliffe will be back in an Indy car for the first time since his near-fatal accident in May when he tests next week at Road America in Wisconsin.

Hinchcliffe crashed during a May 18 practice for the Indianapolis 500. A piece of the suspension broken in the crash pierced his leg, and the IndyCar safety crew had to prevent him from bleeding to death as he was rushed to surgery.
