Driver suffers terrifying Indy 500 practice crash as track left damaged by huge impact
Scott McLaughlin’s Saturday at Indianapolis Motor Speedway came to a premature end as the New Zealander suffered a terrifying crash in practice ahead of the top-12 qualifying session. The impact left a significant indent on the racing surface, such was the scale of the shunt.
The driver of the Pennzoil No.3 Chevrolet had previously gone to the top of the practice timing charts and was considered one of the frontrunners for pole position in the fast six later on Sunday, but his participation now looks impossible following a terrifying crash. Last year’s Indianapolis 500 pole-sitter lost the rear of his race car at Turn Two, sending him into the Safer barrier at high speed. The ‘Yellow Submarine’ Chevrolet was sent airborne by the contact and made a second impact with its sidepod onto the asphalt.
