Two-time Indianapolis 500 winner Josef Newgarden flipped his car upside down during Sunday night's race at Gateway outside St. Louis.

Newgarden crashed midway through the race after contact with Louis Foster.

Foster spun into the wall and shot across the track, stopping directly in Newgarden's path. Newgarden was unable to avoid the direct collision and his car launched into the air, damaged the SAFER barrier, landed on its roof and then skidded for a considerable distance.

The IndyCar safety crew immediately helped Newgarden from his car and he radioed his Team Penske crew he was fine.

IndyCar's safety team had to turn the No. 2 Chevrolet back on its wheels after Newgarden was out of the car and the race was under yellow for the clean up.
