Newgarden made a dive to the bottom to avoid the Rahal Letterman Lanigan No. 45 Honda. Instead, Newgarden was pinched between Foster and the inside wall and flipped on his roof, sliding to a stop at the start finish line.
Newgarden led the race by over six seconds in front of David Malukas before the violent accident. He walked away under his own power and declined to talk with the media following the accident.
