Rasmussen Avoids Penalty After High-Speed Clash With Daly at Portland

Officials opted not to penalize Rasmussen despite Daly branding the Turn 10 collision ‘inexcusable’.

Overview

  • Conor Daly spun into the Turn 11 tyre barriers on lap 15 after repeated contact with Christian Rasmussen and exited uninjured.
  • Daly took to social media to label Rasmussen’s aggressive move in a 150 mph corner as “pure insanity” and criticized current driving standards.
  • Rasmussen admitted fault for the earlier understeer-induced tap at Turn 7 but insisted he did not cause the later crash at the high-speed chicane.
  • IndyCar race control reviewed the incident and chose not to impose any penalties on Rasmussen’s on-track actions.
  • Both drivers have returned to normal race-weekend duties and will focus on the next rounds as the season progresses.
