    Scott McLaughlin's back behind the wheel at Indianapolis Speedway, a day on from a crash in practice ahead of Monday's Indy 500


    The Team Penske driver went airborne after spinning out of control and colliding with the wall at turn two.

    McLaughlin has turned in 65 laps in a back-up vehicle - he was ranked 31st of the 33 entries.

    His team-mate - and defending champion - Josef Newgarden, will start at the back of the grid on race day after an illegal modification to his car used in qualifying.
