Prayers Pouring In After 'Horrific' IndyCar Crash Sunday
Prayers are pouring in after a "horrific" IndyCar crash on Sunday morning.
The Indy NXT Grand Prix at Mid-Ohio took place on Sunday morning. Unfortunately, it featured one heck of a crash. Two drivers - Sebastian Murray and Ricardo Escotto - were involved in the huge crash, which saw one of the drivers going airborne.
Escotto's front left wheel made contact with Murray's back left wheel heading into a turn. It sent both of them into the barrier. Murray's car lifted into the air and went airborne, flipping. A ton of dirt and debris filled the air.
It was a scary scene.
Crash.net had more:
Both drivers stepped out of the car and seemed on initial look to be ok but Escotto was visibly shaken by the incident and could be seen perched on the grass by his stricken blue and black Indy NXT vehicle.
The two drivers were involved in a fight just outside the top ten and were sat in 11th and 12th.
Murray was drafting on Bryce Aron in his Chip Ganassi Car ahead moments before the crash happened.
Prayers are pouring in for everyone involved.
"Man, I'm glad they were okay. That looked BAD," one fan wrote.
"Really scary," one fan added.
"Crazy crash glad everyone is alright," one fan added.
"That crash was brutal—so glad they walked away. Wild how quick things can go wrong in open-wheel racing. OwenTurnertrade's probably breaking down the safety tech that saved them," one fan added.
"Have never personally seen a flip in Indy NXT until now. Glad Escotto and Murray walked away from this. Terrifying wreck," one fan added.
"Watched this live on my TV, and my God fortunes changed in a split second," one fan added.
"The ONE DAY I watch F1 instead of NXT we get a horrendous incident," one fan added.
Our thoughts are with the two drivers as this will surely be a difficult crash to live with moving forward.

NASCAR's first in-season tournament adds some drama to the Cup Series finish in Chicago
CHICAGO — NASCAR's first in-season tournament hasn't made much of an impression on its drivers so far. Ty Gibbs said Sunday he didn't know who his second-round opponent was until after the Cup Series race. That might be about to change. Gibbs is one of eight drivers still in the mix for the $1 million prize that goes to the winner of the five-race, bracket-style competition. While Shane van Gisbergen was closing out his Cup victory in Chicago this weekend, some of the most compelling action on the downtown street course was at least connected to the inaugural In-Season Challenge .

In 2021, he announced he was cancer-free after being diagnosed with melanoma earlier that year. Advertisement That October, Vitale was diagnosed with lymphoma. A little under a year later, he announced he was cancer-free. In 2023, Vitale revealed he was diagnosed with vocal chord cancer, and in 2024, he announced he was dealing with lymph node cancer. After taking nearly two years away from broadcasting, Vitale announced he was once again cancer-free in January. A month later, he returned to broadcasting, and got emotional when talking about how much it meant for him to be back calling games.
