Larson, 32, who was able to leave the car unscathed, said the right rear axle “or something” broke.
“It launched me a little, and I was in the race,” he said, according to Motorsport.com. “Bummer, but I really felt good to punctuate Rico (Abreu) there and I finally managed to traffic and run there. Happy that I am well, big blow but overall, it’s okay.”
In addition to racing cars and sprint cars, Larson also participated in Indianapolis 500 in each of the last two years.
Larson is expected to be the wheel of the Chevrolet of Hendrick Motorsports n ° 5 during the race for the series of the Sunday Cup in Michigan International Speedway.
