Josef Newgarden Leads Rain-Shortened Indy 500 Practice Amidst Three-Car Incident

The practice session at Indianapolis Motor Speedway was intended to allow drivers to fine-tune their cars in traffic conditions ahead of the Indy 500. However, the session was disrupted by both weather and a significant crash. Alexander Rossi spun in Turn 2, leading to a collision with Pato O'Ward and Romain Grosjean who were trying to avoid him. The incident caused considerable damage to the cars, especially Rossi's. Despite the crash, all drivers were able to walk away, with Rossi undergoing further evaluation at a local hospital.
