'By far the worst moment of my life;' Scott McLaughlin crashes out of Indianapolis 500 before it even begins

The Indianapolis 500 was over for Scott McLaughlin before it even began.

McLaughlin crashed out of the race on the pace laps as he was warming up his tires. McLaughlin’s car skidded across the frontstretch on the cold track and smashed into the inside wall before Turn 1. His car eventually came to rest in the infield with a broken front wing and suspension.

The Team Penske driver was distraught after climbing from the car and had to gather himself while crouched to the ground.
