Scott McLaughlin is aiming to rectify a qualifying crash and put on a show for Sunday’s inaugural Grand Prix of Arlington.
During the second group running of the opening session of qualifying, the New Zealander was pushing to advance into the Fast 12 when, with two minutes remaining, he clipped the inside of the wall in Turn 8 before pounding the outside wall. The crash left significant left-front damage to his #3 Team Penske Chevrolet, but fortunately he will not have to go to a backup car like his teammate Josef Newgarden did after crashing in second practice.
