IndyCar and NASCAR star Kyle Larson recently faced a heart-stopping moment during a four-plus-hour test session at Phoenix Raceway. Larson, who is set to make his Indianapolis 500 debut in May and then compete in the Coca-Cola 600 NASCAR race later the same day, managed to save his Indy 500 ride from hitting the wall at a staggering 180 mph.
Describing the incident, Larson admitted that he got caught off guard as he entered the corner, causing his car to get a little loose. However, his quick reflexes and skillful driving allowed him to regain control and avoid a potentially disastrous crash. Reflecting on the incident, Larson acknowledged that it was all part of his learning curve as he continues to acclimate himself to the world of IndyCar racing.
