Watch The Pit Road Crash That Royally Screwed Up The Days Of Ryan Hunter-Reay and Townsend Bell At The Indy 500


Watch The Pit Road Crash That Royally Screwed Up The Days Of Ryan Hunter-Reay and Townsend Bell At The Indy 500

There are defining moments at each and every Indy 500 and there are also those moments where you want to cover your eyes with your hands and not look to see what’s actually happening in front of you. That’s the situation that Ryan Hunter-Reay and Townsend Bell found themselves in after both had been having a stellar Indy 500 race, leading laps, and generally looking very strong. The chaos of pit lane snared both of these experienced and talented drivers and nearly got Helio Castroneves as well because it was Bell who actually clipped Helio to get this crunch party started. Credit to the crew guy in Hinchcliffe’s box who noticed what was going on and didn’t stick around to see how it was going to end. My man got the hell out of the way as he should have.

Things happen and you are looking at one of the most crazed pit lane situations in the entire race. Everyone had their adrenaline up and while there was plenty of race yet to run, no one wants to give up an inch on their competitor whether we’re talking about being in the pits or on the straight at full bore. Oh…we should mention that these two guys are also teammates. That’s a relevant piece of information, right?

Congrats to American driver Alexander Rossi for the historic win. He joins a short list of Indy 500 winners who turned the trick in their first trip to the speedway in competition. Rossi had told reporters that while at the F1 race in Monaco last year he had to find a TV or a radio to listen in on the Indy 500 action. 365 days later he had the best view in the house. Looking out from the winner’s circle into a sea of some 350,000 people. Amazing stuff!
