The 2008 SunTrust Indy Challenge was the ninth round of the 2008 IndyCar Series season and took place on June 28, 2008 at the 0.750-mile (1.207 km) Richmond International Raceway, in Henrico County, Virginia.

His Vision Racing teammate Ed Carpenter ran over debris from the crash, and both cars were sidelined.

During the caution, a handful of cars pitted, including Danica Patrick and rookie Jaime Camara, but most of the leaders stayed on the track.

On the restart, Camara led the field, but Buddy Rice spun and tagged the wall on the frontstretch.

The field checked up, and Darren Manning, Ryan Briscoe and Bruno Junqueira were involved in a separate crash.
