McLaughlin crashed his Team Penske car in Sunday afternoon practice and ruined his chance to repeat last year’s Indianapolis 500 pole-winning run.

The Indy 500 is one of the premier events in sports, let alone racing.

oddsmakers are cool on the 25-year-old Israeli's prospects. He's +2500 on BetMGM, tied for 14th best odds with Santino Ferrucci (who starts 15th) and Colton Herta (27th).

IndyCar said the unapproved alteration on the cars of his teammates was not found on McLaughlin's wrecked ride, so he will maintain his 10th starting position.

Three crashes led to cars going airborne during Indy 500 qualifying.
