The rear end of Scott Dixon’s car ripped off in a crash with Jay Howard just over 50 laps into Sunday’s 200-lap Indianapolis 500.
Howard lost control in Turn 1 and hit the outside wall then slid down the track into Scott Dixon. Dixon’s car went airborne, flying over the top of Helio Castroneves, and landed on the inside SAFER barrier, ripping the rear end of his machine off.
Fortunately, both drivers were OK. The red flag was flown due to a hole made in the infield safety fencing from the crash.
