Prayers are pouring in after a “horrific” IndyCar crash on Sunday morning.

The Indy NXT Grand Prix at Mid-Ohio took place on Sunday morning. Unfortunately, it featured one heck of a crash. Two drivers – Sebastian Murray and Ricardo Escotto – were involved in the huge crash, which saw one of the drivers going airborne.

Escotto’s front left wheel made contact with Murray’s back left wheel heading into a turn. It sent both of them into the barrier. Murray’s car lifted into the air and went airborne, flipping. A ton of dirt and debris filled the air.

It was a scary scene.

Crash.net had more:

Both drivers stepped out of the car and seemed on initial look to be ok but Escotto was visibly shaken by the incident and could be seen perched on the grass by his stricken blue and black Indy NXT vehicle.

The two drivers were involved in a fight just outside the top ten and were sat in 11th and 12th.

Murray was drafting on Bryce Aron in his Chip Ganassi Car ahead moments before the crash happened.

Prayers are pouring in for everyone involved.

“Man, I’m glad they were okay. That looked BAD,” one fan wrote.

“Really scary,” one fan added.

“Crazy crash glad everyone is alright,” one fan added.

“That crash was brutal—so glad they walked away. Wild how quick things can go wrong in open-wheel racing. OwenTurnertrade’s probably breaking down the safety tech that saved them,” one fan added.

“Have never personally seen a flip in Indy NXT until now. Glad Escotto and Murray walked away from this. Terrifying wreck,” one fan added.

“Watched this live on my TV, and my God fortunes changed in a split second,” one fan added.

“The ONE DAY I watch F1 instead of NXT we get a horrendous incident,” one fan added.

Our thoughts are with the two drivers as this will surely be a difficult crash to live with moving forward.
