Scott McLaughlin and Team Penske head into Indianapolis 500 looking to rewrite the 2025 script

Scott McLaughlin of Team Penske is set to compete in the 2026 Indianapolis 500 on Sunday, May 24, seeking redemption after crashing into the wall during a spin before last year's race even started. The 2025 Indy 500 crash, which occurred on the 2.5-mile Indianapolis Motor Speedway oval, left McLaughlin devastated and he spent the following 12 months reflecting on the incident. McLaughlin now aims to turn a worst-to-first narrative at the sold-out event.
