INDYCAR: Bourdais transporter damaged in fire

The transporter carrying Sebastien Bourdais' No. 11 KVSH Racing Chevy and the team's racing equipment caught fire this morning on its way to this weekend's Verizon IndyCar Series race in Phoenix. The extent of the damage is currently being assessed.

"I don't know how bad it is, but it didn't sound good," team co-owner Jimmy Vasser told RACER.

"[KVSH team manager] Steve Moore is there and they're trying to unload to see how much burned."

Bourdais, the four-time Champ Car champion, finished 21st in the season-opening race at St Petersburg. His car is the KV team's sole full-time entry this year.
