Indy 500 Fast Friday practice halted by Siegel’s flying crash

A 19-year-old California native, Siegel was in the midst of a third lap during a simulated qualifying run when his No. 18 Dale Coyne Racing Honda snapped around and hit the outside wall on the exit of Turn 2. After making contact with the wall, the back of the car lifted off the ground, getting almost inverted, and skated down the backstretch on its left side before coming to a stop in the middle of the track.

' Siegel, who currently runs full-time in Indy NXT and is vying for his second points-paying start in the IndyCar Series, was able to walk away from the accident after receiving assistance – due to car positioning and the aeroscreen – which required the car being turned back on its wheels for him to get out. There were some patch work needed on the track where the suspension of Siegel's car dug into the pavement.
