Jimmie Johnson underwent outpatient surgery on his broken right hand Monday evening, but the Chip Ganassi Racing driver said he expects to be ready for next week's Indianapolis 500 open test April 20-21 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Dr. Glenn Gaston, the hand and upper extremity fellowship director at OrtoCarolina performed the surgery on Johnson's hand. Johnson was injured Friday in his crash in Turn 5 during Practice No. 1 of the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach, after he wasn't able to get his hands away from the steering wheel in time and it jerked around on impact and struck his right hand. Johnson is expected to make a full recovery and tweeted a photo of himself Tuesday morning with his hand wrapped while sitting in the simulator in preparation for the upcoming test.

It was the first of three crashes for Johnson at what Johnson considers his home IndyCar race. Saturday morning, Johnson crashed again in Turn 1 in the second practice while sporting a carbon fiber brace the CGR team fitted him with Friday night. Johnson told IndyStar the second accident didn't injure his hand any more, and X-rays that followed at the on-site care center showed the broken bone in his hand was actually better-aligned.

He went on to qualify 25th after his losing his two fastest laps in Round 1 for impeding Graham Rahal, and Johnson lasted 73 laps before a final crash in Turn 8 that also gathered Dale Coyne Racing's David Malukas.

Johnson finished 20th after taking 17th back in September in his Long Beach Grand Prix. He joked after the race on the NBC broadcast that he'd had worse race weekends in his lengthy career.

"We had to go to a couple backups before we got to a race, maybe Darlington one year," Johnson said. "But it comes with it. I certainly feel bad I put the team in this position, but I'm thankful for their support and the support from Carvana and my fan base

"This deal isn't easy, and you've got to live on the razor's edge on these street courses. There's no margin for error while trying to be faster and more competitive. I made some mistakes this weekend, and I'll learn from them and come back even stronger."
