00:00Let's take a look at what happened, through turn 2, just got loose.

00:05Stayed after the power for a while as he got backwards to try to do what he could to spin the car around and ideally keep it off the wall.

00:13But guys, the left rear just pogoed, it's still in the air, it hasn't landed yet, there it is.

00:20Wow, that is a yard sale of an accident, debris everywhere.

00:24And this is what we were talking about at the top of the show with what happened with Marcus Armstrong yesterday.

00:31When you're pushing the limits and trying to get the feel for the car that you will have in qualifying,

00:36you are running that exact same tightrope that you do when everything really is on the line.

00:41Hey Ryan, you and I have both been through this kind of sequence on an oval.

00:45Describe what McLaughlin is experiencing here.

00:49I mean, this is one of those deals, you guys were talking about it yesterday,

00:51where the feeling within an IndyCar especially, going that fast, it's micro inputs and the sensation of rotation into the corner.

01:02There's such a fine line between the car being dialed in positive on the nose,

01:06to it just keeps rotating and you're just a passenger.

01:09And there's not a whole lot you can do with it, there's such a fine line.

01:13Let's listen here.

01:19I'm not quite ready for that hit, here it is.

01:21When you watch it in real speed, it takes your breath away just watching it.

01:28And guys, the thing that we'd be remissed without saying at this point,

01:32right before this happened, Scott McLaughlin did go P1.

01:38Yeah.

01:41Sound of the impact.

01:43He did a 233.5.

01:46Eight-tenths of a mile an hour faster than the next best lap.

01:49Car sliding to a stop.

02:11It's interesting, though.

02:12I'm used to hands off the wheel, crossing the chest, which is what I would normally do.

02:18Ryan, I've never seen someone grab their helmet in that way.

02:21I'm with you.

02:22I've never seen that before.

02:23And all I could think of right away was maybe it was like a response to like the Kirkwood flip,

02:27where his visor flipped open, debris coming inside the helmet.

02:31That's a great call.

02:31Don't forget, there is a suite, the Turn 2 suites, that sit about, what, eight feet from the wall in Turn 2.

02:40And the guests that are enjoying the day over there just saw a spectacular explosion of carbon fiber, steel, aluminum.

02:55I mean, just about every material you could think of.

02:57And we are reminded once again of the safety of this circuit, the safer barriers,

03:03the work that Dallara and IndyCar have done together to provide the drivers of the Indianapolis 500.

03:09I mean, just about the drivers.
