IndyCar practice at Laguna Seca delayed by track repairs after crash

Summary

IndyCar officials delayed the second practice session at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca on Saturday following an on-track incident during a support race. A Porsche Sprint Challenge USA West vehicle crashed at the Corkscrew turn, necessitating repairs to track fencing. While IndyCar confirmed the delay via social media, no revised start time was immediately announced for the session. The incident occurred shortly before the scheduled 10:05 a.m. local time start for the IndyCar field. Saturday qualifying remains on the schedule for 1:35 p.m. PT, though the potential for further delays exists as track crews perform the necessary barrier work. Drivers have only completed one practice session, held on Friday, in preparation for the season finale.
