IndyCar driver Romain Grosjean couldn’t quite believe his luck after his hopes of winning a sizeable sum in the $1 Million Challenge were dashed just seconds into the race.
The Juncos Hollinger Racing driver was hit by six-time IndyCar champion Scott Dixon in the turn one braking zone at the Thermal Club, sending the former F1 driver into a spin.
Grosjean slid out of control before sliding into the side of Ed Carpenter Racing’s Rinus VeeKay.
“Whatever. It’s not what I signed up to IndyCar for.”
