A General Motors executive who was driving the pace car Sunday that crashed into a wall and delayed the start of an IndyCar race in Detroit said Monday on social media that he let down his family and GM.
Mark Reuss was driving when the Corvette spun and crashed during a pace lap just before the race's scheduled start time. Team Chevy blamed the weather and track conditions.
Reuss is product development chief for Detroit-based GM. On Facebook, he said: "Sorry does not describe it."
No one was seriously injured in the crash Sunday. It delayed the race about 30 minutes.
