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.

Will Blackmon joins the cast of Good Morning Football
The ever-changing cast of Good Morning Football has undergone another change. Via former NFL defensive back Will Blackmon has joined the cast for the upcoming season. A fourth-round pick from Boston College in 2006, Blackmon spent four years with the Packers, two with the Giants, two with the Jaguars, and two with the Commanders. He last played in the NFL in 2016. Advertisement Blackmon, who also returned punts and kickoffs during his time in the NFL, was a member of the Super Bowl XLVI champion Giants. He had served on a rotating cast of contributors following the departure of Akbar Gbaja-Biamila after one season. Blackmon did enough to get the full-time gig. The show has been in a state of flux for most of the past year, with a surprising move of the production from New York to Los Angeles (and a 5:00 a.m. local start time) and the departure of multiple members of the cast, including Jason McCourty and Peter Schrager.

Pacers guard Haliburton will miss entire '25-26 NBA season
Tyrese Haliburton of the Indiana Pacers will miss the entire 2025-26 NBA season while recovering from a torn riht Achilles tendon injury suffered in last month's NBA Finals, team president Kevin Pritchard said (Maddie Meyer) Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton will miss the entire 2025-26 NBA season after suffering a torn right Achilles tendon in the NBA Finals, team president Kevin Pritchard said Monday. Haliburton was playing with a right calf strain when he went down in the first quarter of Indiana's 103-91 loss to Oklahoma City in the title-deciding contest. Advertisement "I have no doubt that he will be back better than ever," Pritchard said. "He will not play next year though. We would not jeopardize that now. Don't get any hopes up that he will play." Haliburton sparked the Pacers to their first NBA Finals since 2000, averaging 18.6 points, 9.2 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 1.4 steals a game. "He plays best when he is really hungry and I'm guessing next year, he's going to be champing at the bit to prove to everybody that he's back," Pritchard said. "We're just going to have to take it slow and make sure he's back to 100 per cent. I expect great things and him being an-All NBA player -- we witnessed something with clutch shotmaking that I've never seen in the NBA." Advertisement That included a game-winning basket at the buzzer to beat Oklahoma City in the finals' opener. Pritchard said the Pacers haven't given up on being an NBA contender but realize they will lack something special until Haliburton returns from June 23 surgery. "We were 24 minutes and an injury away," Pritchard said. "We have some challenges with Ty's injury but we like what we have. "We'll have some guys that hopefully will have some opportunities and when he gets back, it'll be the cherry on top, I guess." Haliburton's rehabilitation is off to a strong start, Pritchard said. Advertisement "He has been doing great," Pritchard said. "He's doing good, but the real work starts now in terms of rehab and it's tough." Haliburton has said he would take the chance again and play in the winner-take-all last game of the NBA Finals despite suffering the injury, but Pritchard said he didn't feel the same. "Would I have him do it over and over? I would not," Pritchard said. "If I knew he was going to get hurt, I would sacrifice that game because I care for the kid so much." The Pacers have also lost another key member of their run to the finals as center Myles Turner signed a four-year free agent deal with Milwaukee. js/pb
