SCOTT MCLAUGHLIN No. 3 PENNZOIL CHEVROLET
START: 8TH
FINISH: 33RD
POINTS: 7TH (-161)
RACE RUNDOWN: Scott McLaughlin and the No. 3 Pennzoil Chevrolet team finished 33rd in Sunday’s 109th running of the Indianapolis 500 following an incident on the final pace lap prior to the start of the race, part of a chaotic start to the “Greatest Spectacle in Racing.” The race was delayed by half an hour as a light rain shower passed over the area on a day when temperatures were cooler than normal. As with any race start, McLaughlin was warming his tires on the final pace lap before the green flag when the rear of his Chevrolet quickly swapped ends, making moderate contact with the inside wall. After returning to the garage it was determined that that the damage was too severe to continue.
MCLAUGHLIN’S THOUGHTS: “I don’t know. I have no idea. I just lost control of the car. It just came out of nowhere. I’ve never had that. I just lost rear grip. I’m sorry for my family, my friends, my partners, my sponsor, and my team. It’s definitely the worst day of my life.
