Crash in Practice
McLaughlin crashed in opening practice for the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach on Friday afternoon.
ANALYSIS
It was a tough way to end what had been a strong practice for the Penske Racing star. McLaughlin had logged the second-fastest lap of the Long Beach street circuit, but late in the session he overshot turn 9 and found the tire barriers. The impact would cause moderate damage to McLaughlin's car. The team will have some work to do before Saturday's second practice session and pole qualifying.
