Overview

• Kyle Larson crashed his No. 17 McLaren-Hendrick Chevrolet during an Indianapolis 500 open test, hitting the Turn 1 and Turn 2 walls after understeering in Turn 1.
• The crash broke Larson's right-side suspension, but he was uninjured and released from the infield care center after being evaluated.
• Larson attributed the incident to understeer through Turn 1, noting that setup challenges carried over from the previous day's testing sessions.
• On Day 1 of testing, Larson showed promising pace, finishing 6th on the no-tow timesheet and as the fastest Arrow McLaren driver.
• This marks an important learning moment for Larson as he continues adapting to IndyCar dynamics and hybrid power units while pursuing the rare 'Double' of the Indianapolis 500 and Coca-Cola 600.
