Pruett, considered one of the rising stars on the CART Indy-car circuit, crashed while driving a new Judd-powered Lola on the temporary circuit used by several teams for off-season testing.
The 29-year-old driver from Roseville, Calif., suffered an open fracture of the left knee, a broken left ankle and right knee and a bump over his right eye.
