McLaughlin “gutted” after shunting out of the Indy 500

After starting a disappointing 26^th, the Team Penske-Chevrolet sophomore – and his pitcrew – had done a fine job to climb through the ranks to enter the top dozen.

However, on Lap 151 his car twitched as he entered Turn 3, he caught it, then it snapped on him again, and after making contact with the wall, he slid along the short chute to have a second impact against the Turn 4 wall. He was fortunate that the Pennzoil machine wasn’t collected by Indy veteran Ed Carpenter.
