Sebastian Saavedra, driving a car for Valencia’s Bryan Herta, earned the 33rd and final starting spot in the Indianapolis 500 on Sunday.

Saavedra, a 19-year-old rookie driver from Colombia, crashed the Bryan Herta Autosport car while preparing for a second qualifying run on Bump Day at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

He learned from a hospital room his qualifying run from earlier in the day was good enough to put him in the field for Sunday’s Indy 500.
