McLaughlin Feels the Heat—Literally!

Did anyone else catch the wild start at Illinois? Team Penske’s Scott McLaughlin (aka "Scotty Mac") wasn’t just battling rivals—he was dodging a wall of heat from those insane pre-race pyros! Fans across the track felt it, but inside the cockpit? Scotty said it was "intense" through the helmet. Add in Newgarden’s scary flip after tangling with Foster, and this was one for the books. Tough luck for McLaughlin with another DNF, but he’s keeping his head up. Thoughts on the pyros—too much, or just right for the drama? #IndyCar #ScottMcLaughlin #TeamPenske #Sports #Racing
