Malukas’ Wall Crash Ends His Race Weekend

David Malukas’ qualifying crash at the Detroit Grand Prix sent his car crashing into the wall, forcing Team Penske to field a brand-new No. 12 Chevrolet for him on Sunday—marking the third time this season they’ve had to rebuild a car after a race weekend incident. Malukas, who was pushing hard to qualify and had been second in the standings, admitted he should’ve backed off but was focused on securing a top spot. Now he’ll start dead last, while championship leader Alex Palou takes the pole. One misstep, and the championship battle just got a whole lot tougher for Malukas.
