Indycar Josef Newgarden and Louis Foster pilots were in a dangerous accident on Sunday during Bommarito Automotive Group 500 at World Wide Technology (WTT) Raceway in Madison, Illinois, on the outskirts of St. Louis.
The incident occurred in the middle of the race when Foster lost control of his vehicle in the corner and crashed with the wall. He turned when he went down the track at the front Schetch. Newgarden had nowhere to go and couldn’t help Foster.

When NewGarden led Foster, he put himself in the air and turned into a terrifying accident. He landed on his roof and slid down the track. Indycar security officials immediately jumped on the barrier that separated the Pit Road track to see it.
Foster spoke with Fox Sports about the wreck after being released from the center of attention of the painting.
“I got a little … I got too high and entered the marbles,” Foster said. “I could simply prevent the car from rotating and, obviously, a quite scary impact with me and Josef. I’m glad it is well.”

Palou still has the advantage in the Indycar classification, only 73 points about Pato O’ward and 75 points ahead of Kirkwood.
Newgarden is in 16º and Foster is in 24º.
