Herta is the second driver to go airborne at Indy in the last two days, as Kyffin Simpson flipped over on the exit of Turn 4 after a left side impact with the wall similar to Herta's on Friday. NASCAR champion Kyle Larson, attempting his second Indy 500, also crashed Friday in preparation for this weekend's run for the pole.

Colton Herta crashed heavily in qualifying for the Indianapolis 500 on Saturday, hours after Marcus Armstrong was taken away on a stretcher after a scary practice crash of his own at nearly the same spot at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
