Nolan Siegel brought the Indianapolis 500 practice to a halt on Friday when the 19-year-old rookie spun coming out of Turn 2 and hit the outside wall. The impact sent his Dale Coyne Racing entry flying through the air before it landed on its side. Once his battered car came to a rest, Siegel immediately radioed to his team that he was OK.

INDIANAPOLIS — Nolan Siegel brought the Indianapolis 500 practice to a halt on Friday when the 19-year-old rookie spun coming out of Turn 2 and hit the outside wall, sending his Dale Coyne Racing entry flying through the air before it landed on its side.

Siegel also expected his team to start preparing a backup car, but the wreck about 2 hours into practice didn’t leave them much time. There are 34 cars trying to make the 33-car field beginning Saturday; the top 12 will advance to the pole shootout Sunday while the four slowest will be left to their own showdown for the final three spots on the starting grid.
