If you thought the Indianapolis 500 was easy then think again this is the moment Scott Dixon, a four times Indycar champ, becomes an innocent victim of someone else’s mistake. The mistake was made by Englishman Jay Howard who was competing in his first Indy500. Howard runs wide out of the turn gets caught on the marbles and then slides into the wall at high speed. Howard’s car ricochets off the wall, with both wheels and steering damaged his car slides into the middle of the track. Dixon hurtles in at speeds approaching 219mph the second video below shows just how quickly events unfolded, Dixon had no where to go. The race was red flagged to allow for repairs to be made to Turns 1 and 2. Dixon was winded by the impact, remarkably Dixon and Howard walked away unscathed. The second video shows just how quickly the incident occured… Forza Alonso!REPLAY: @scottdixon9 checked, cleared, and released after this turn 1 incident during the #Indy500 at @IMS. #INDYCAR pic.twitter.com/gaD950M27F
