Scott McLaughlin crashes during warm-up laps before Indy 500 green flag | INDYCAR

Indycars looking like spaceships with wheels nowdays.

Shades of Albert Park 2019, this time found the wall rather than another competitor. (Cam Waters that time)

I think Ericsson hit him

Not a great moment for a NZ racing fan. Scott M in the fence and Scott D on fire and the race hadn’t even started!

Pulling a Lance Sroll stunt.

Ok, I'll ask, HOW?

Has to said Scott, that's a rookie error. Feel for him.

Gone full Isaac hadjer.

Hes worse than Larson......lol😮

Wet track caused that. If you watch it close you see and hear, the second the rear end loses traction.

That sucks.

Dramatic little drama queen

My wife did the same thing to her Toyota Camry last week.

Hate to see that happen as he’s a good guy and talented driver.

When you only had one job….

Townsend Bell is an idiot, pure and simple. Moisture on the track? What a horrible announce team. Why doesn't Goodyear use tire warmers? "The cars are set up to turn left"..ok... how about Scott nailed the throttle and it spun out? My gawd, what in the world was Danica wearing? Absolutely no pit report on what happened to Tako, or why Will Power struggles. We were treated useless Shakespearean cliches'from Buxton, combined with T-Bells' grunts and groans. Why couldn't Ericsson race at the end, when the gurus in the booth said he had fresher tyres and more fuel? Just awful.

Ericsson did it

Beyond soul destroying. Terrible.

KARMA!

No sympathy for Scott McLaughlin. My Grandmother can drive better than that!

It’s definitely been a tough week for the Team Penske organisation.

Pause game, restart race, are you sure? Yes/No, ..... wait...oh....😢

He punched the gas and jerked the wheel to the left. Looks like it was his fault.

I think Erickson hit us 🤣. All jokes aside I feel extremely bad for McLaughlin!

Head up mate from us Aussies❤

🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

I hate that for McLaughlin, he worked too hard for not even getting to start.

Should have paid attenuator, I mean attention😂

Mega BONE headed move...😂
Omfg. 🤦‍♂️🤮

Penske sure got paid back in this race for their cheating attempts. Newgarden DNF. Not sure where Power finished but I know he was never in the mix up front. All their team strategists lose their jobs. People should probably rent U Haul instead of Penske trucks at least until May is over

Love to see it for Penske but not for scotty he’s a fairly likeable guy

Getting his Roberto Guerrero on

What a dope

Likely doesn't take much to get these things sideways. I was wondering how they get their new tires after a pit stop up to temp so quick. By the time they're entering the track, they're already up to speed. Are they keeping tires in some sort of warmer or have a heating system to keep the tires warm?

How embarrassing. Not even Racing, not at Full Speed, and CRASHES!!!

What a disaster that was. I felt so bad for him. The only cool Penske guy

Hahahahaha. My wife could drive better than this idiot.

To all the haters out there, go and have a good look at yourself in the mirror! So disgusting to hear the hate out there for Scott. You are all pathetic. You carry on like you could do better! Get a life trolls.

Wow I hate to see that!

Haha

Wow that’s super embarrassing

*slow clap

Maybe let them choose their tires like F1.

Thank god it happened before the race started
imagine if this looser was going 200 mph and involved other racers

Well atleast that wasn’t car # 30

Too many drivers think that the Indy 500 is won on the first lap. It isn't.

Roberto Guerrero flash back.🏎️

"the ytack is cold, the tires are cold, the guy is new to RWD"

get off the track drama boy
