MEXICO CITY -- Michel Jourdain Jr. suffered a strained thigh muscle after being thrown from a horse Tuesday during a newspaper photo shoot. He said today that he doesn't expect to miss any practices or the Telcel-Motorola Mexico 200 Sunday.
The Mexico City native, who is scheduled to drive the No. 15 for ppc Racing, had his leg pinned between the horse and a pole at a race track during the shoot. He got on the horse and the saddle shifted, upsetting the horse which kicked up its front legs and threw Jourdain.
"I was on for about two seconds," said Jourdain, who ran a limited Busch Series schedule in 2005 but is looking to make his first 2006 start. "They said I had to get down, and by that time, the horse started to go crazy."
Jourdain attended a news conference today with other Mexican drivers who plan on competing in the event, but he came in using a crutch.
"The doctor thinks [I will be OK]," Jourdain said. "I've got to go home and rest and ice it down. ... I'll be OK."
