UGh, I blinked for a second, or whatever my excuse, but didn't see the car hit the tires but still managed to snap quick enough to see the tires move.  Indy Lights car #22 came around turn one and lost control, hitting the tires on the side and breaking up as it continued past.
The back wheel was completely demolished and parts of the car laid on the course.

Track crews worked quickly to get the driver out of the car safely and move the car from the track so the race can continue at full speed.  They got it lifted on the tow truck and moved as Indy Lights cars speed by.  What a heart-racing job for the crews.




Ah, turn one, if you attend the Grand Prix or know anything about it, you know that turn one is usually an exciting turn.  I spent most of the morning there Sunday and the potential for a big crash was there but due to an excellent track crew, they were avoided.  (Darn)  In this shot the Indy Lights car 18 spun out and had to moved to avoid a collision and get back on track as other cars race right past it.
