Three-time Indianapolis 500 winner Helio Castroneves has been released from Indianapolis Motor Speedway's medical center following a scary crash during practice early Wednesday.

The Brazilian's car began to wiggle through the first turn and would hit the outer wall before flipping upside down. The car would roll back onto its wheels and Castroneves left the car without assistance.

Indycar has released multiple views of the crash from above and inside the car that can be seen here:

Castroneves will have another chance to win his record-tying fourth 500 when the 99th Indianapolis 500 runs May 24.
