An Indianapolis 500 fan whose vehicle was damaged when a tyre flew off a racecar and out of the track during the race will receive a new car, an Indianapolis Motor Speedway spokesperson said. The spokesperson told The Indianapolis Star that Penske Entertainment will provide fan Robin Matthews, who is from Indianapolis, with a new car following the incident. “I came down and they said, ‘Robin, it’s your car!’ I thought, ‘No.’ I thought somebody was pranking me. It’s fine.”The wheel came off with less than 20 laps to go in Monday’s race when Felix Rosenqvist and Kyle Kirkwood collided.
