McLaughlin had spun through the grass exiting the pit lane as he pushed on his new, alternate-compound Firestone tyres, briefly entering the track at the apex, which caused Power to run up the track to avoid him through Turn 2.
The two-time IndyCar champion hit the wall and spun back across the track and into the path of Chip Ganassi Racing’s Marcus Ericsson, who piled into Power and wrecked both cars.
