Scott McLaughlin had one of the 500 most difficult moments of Indianapolis in recent memory on Sunday.
The pilots were ordered to start their engines and were out of the frontretch preparing to run, since the drip of rain delayed the race for almost an hour. McLaughlin and others warmed their tires to prepare to become green.

When McLaughlin led to curve 1, his vehicle lost grip due to a fraction of a second and began to turn. He hit the wall, damaging his vehicle and finally cost him his day.
“We have another career next week, but this race is all for us,” he told Fox Sports after the race ended. “I didn’t even see the green flag.
“My heart is broken. It’s not good.”
He also expressed his lament in an X publication.

“I would never want this feeling in my worst enemy.”
It was the worst McLaughlin final in Indy 500. He was sixth last year and had some hope in the event that he could achieve incredible surprise despite a scary practice. I was ready to start the race in the tenth.

Everything went out the window before the race really started.
“I really have no idea what happened,” Fox Sports’s care center told Jamie Little Little. “Really annoyed by my team. They built a fantastic car again. I am very sorry for my sponsors, for my fans, my family. I don’t know what happened.
“I can’t believe we are out of the race. Today I had many hopes. Yes, probably the worst moment of my life.”
