I would be surprised if he wasn't and I was also surprised with how quickly he returned to racing, after breaking his collar bone. Detroit 1 was on June 13th and he was back on the 4th of July for Mid-Ohio. It takes about 6 to 8 weeks to heal in adults, and 3 to 6 weeks in children.
Looking at his results prior to the accident, he got a 1st at IMS and 2nd at Detroit 1, with his worst results 18th at Detroit 2 and 20th at TMS. He missed Road America and post accident his results were pretty lacklustre, with his best result 16th at Mid-Ohio.
