Kirkwood's race cars and truck wound up going upside down and skidding on the track, kicking up stimulates as seen from his in-car electronic camera. A tire also came off during the crash, careening towards the stands.

The tire discussed the wall and grandstands but didn't end up in the crowd. Rather, it struck the hood of a car parked outside. Indiana State Police Sgt. Stephen Wheeles said no one was hurt in the tire event.

Kirkwood and Rosenqvist were able to leave their vehicles under their own power.

The race was red-flagged as an outcome of the crash.
