With less than 20 laps to go in Sunday's Indianapolis 500, Felix Rosenqvist and Kyle Kirkwood collided and Kirkwood's rear left tire bounced off the track and headed toward — but over — the crowd in Turn 2.
It was a terrifying sight as the tire flew up over the outer fencing and headed toward the grandstand. A red flag was waved to halt the race. According to Nick Criser who was in the area, the tire thankfully missed the crowd.
