Carpenter Third Crash of Today


INDIANAPOLIS – Ed Carpenter, trying to bump his way back in the field, crashed heavily in Turn 2 after taking the green flag to start a qualifying run.

He was able to exit the car after doing a spin and slamming the wall in Turn 2, with the car almost turning on its side.

Carpenter, who started eighth last year, was trying to knock out Sebastien Bourdais, who holds the 24th spot at 222.415 mph. Carpenter’s warm-up lap was 222.022 mph.

After an almost incident-free week, Carpenter’s wreck was the third on Saturday, following wall contact by Bryan Clauson and Oriol Servia.
