Zach Worth, the rear tire change for Blaney, has been transported to the hospital for additional analysis. He was smiling when being put into the ambulance after the pit-road incident.
The pit highway at Indianapolis Motor Speedway is exclusive in that it’s each the longest and narrowest within the NASCAR sequence.
The pitfalls have been apparent throughout a pileup early in Sunday’s race. Brennan Poole was trying to navigate across the congestion when he veered left and unintentionally made contact with Worth.
