A nearly four hour green flag running period ended when 2023 500 winner had a major crash in turn 4. Ericsson put his wheels below the pavement and began to spin in the middle of the turn. The left side hit the outside wall, then the car slid nose first into the inside wall in the pit entry lane.. The car slid an dhit the pit attenuator very hard.

There had been no issues since the cars returned to the track following the cleanup of Linus Lundqvist’s crash around 11:30 this morning.

Ericsson got out of the car on his own power and went to the medical center, Track activity stopped for nearly 37 minutes.

The track went green for just two minutes before a red flag waved for rain.

There has been no change in the top speeds since this morning.

The Andretti and Meyer Shank teams had a long run of drafting practice mid afternoon.

I’ll be back with a full day wrap up later. We may be done for the day.

Stay tuned for the greatest spectacle in raining.
