Scott McLaughlin crashed his Team Penske car during practice for the Indianapolis 500, ending his chances of qualifying for the pole position. McLaughlin spun out at Turn 2, causing significant damage to his car and the track. Although he was not injured, he expressed deep regret for the impact on his team and emotional distress after seeing his wife's reaction. His crash led to Team Penske opting not to pursue qualifying, as they began working on a backup car for upcoming events.
I'm OK. I'm just really, really, really, really, really sorry for everyone at Team Penske. It was talking to me and I sort of felt it, and I probably should have backed out, but you're trying to complete a run to see what it feels like and was it worth the risk? Probably wasn't. I'm incredibly sad.
They can build a new car for me, but I'm just really gutted more than anything. It's hard to take, like you wish it was for something, but it was for nothing, right? In practice.
