Kyle Larson has first crash in Indy 500 practice after miscue - ESPN

INDIANAPOLIS — Kyle Larson experienced his first crash at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Thursday, the second day that Indianapolis 500 drivers participated in open testing on the 2.5-mile oval.

The 2021 NASCAR champion spun coming out of the first turn, hit the wall and bounced down to the warmup lane before tapping the wall a second time and eventually rolling to a stop.

Larson blamed himself, saying he forgot to hit the weight jacker going into the turn. But he also tried to find some positives from the incident.

«I'm happy to crash my first Indy car and live through it,» Larson said.
