As McLaughlin drove down into Turn 1, his vehicle lost grip for a split second, and he started to spin. He hit the wall, damaging his vehicle and ultimately costing him his day.
"We have another race next week, but this race is everything to us," he told FOX Sports after the race was over. "I didn’t even see the green flag.
"My heart is broken. Not good."
He also expressed his lament in a post on X.

"I’d never wish this feeling on my worst enemy."
It was McLaughlin’s worst finish in the Indy 500. He was sixth last year and had some hope going into the event that he could pull off an incredible upset despite a scary practice crash. He was set to start the race in 10th.
