The New Zealander was hauling down the front straight tour turn 1 when he clipped the grass, sending the back end of his number 3 team Penske. Chevrolet into a spin at around 60-70 miles per hour. The car slid backwards through the runoff, gravel trap, and more grass before bumping up, clipping a tire barrier, and punching straight through the fence, landing half in the bushes behind the wall. Luckily, McLaughlin walked away without a scratch, grabbing his helmet just before impact as the replay showed. The AMR safety crew rushed in quick, and the whole session got red flagged and shut down for repairs. The team rode out a backup car while crews worked to pull the damage one free. It actually looked fixable despite the mess. McLaughlin, fresh from the care center, said the crash looked way worse than it felt, and
