Prayers Pouring In After 'Horrific' IndyCar Crash Sunday
Prayers are pouring in after a "horrific" IndyCar crash on Sunday morning.
The Indy NXT Grand Prix at Mid-Ohio took place on Sunday morning. Unfortunately, it featured one heck of a crash. Two drivers - Sebastian Murray and Ricardo Escotto - were involved in the huge crash, which saw one of the drivers going airborne.

Escotto's front left wheel made contact with Murray's back left wheel heading into a turn. It sent both of them into the barrier. Murray's car lifted into the air and went airborne, flipping. A ton of dirt and debris filled the air.
It was a scary scene.

Both drivers stepped out of the car and seemed on initial look to be ok but Escotto was visibly shaken by the incident and could be seen perched on the grass by his stricken blue and black Indy NXT vehicle.
The two drivers were involved in a fight just outside the top ten and were sat in 11th and 12th.
Murray was drafting on Bryce Aron in his Chip Ganassi Car ahead moments before the crash happened.
Prayers are pouring in for everyone involved.
"Man, I'm glad they were okay. That looked BAD," one fan wrote.
"Really scary," one fan added.
"Crazy crash glad everyone is alright," one fan added.
"That crash was brutal—so glad they walked away. Wild how quick things can go wrong in open-wheel racing. OwenTurnertrade's probably breaking down the safety tech that saved them," one fan added.

"Watched this live on my TV, and my God fortunes changed in a split second," one fan added.

Our thoughts are with the two drivers as this will surely be a difficult crash to live with moving forward.

Mark Vientos and Francisco Lindor lead the Mets past the Royals, 8-3
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Mark Vientos had a three-run double in the eighth inning, Francisco Lindor hit a three-run homer in the ninth and the New York Mets beat the Kansas City Royals 8-3 on Friday night. Brandon Nimmo singled to open the eighth and Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto walked to load the bases against Steven Cruz (2-1). Carlos Estévez entered to strike out Pete Alonso before Vientos cleared the bases for a 4-3 lead. Advertisement Lindor added his 19th homer in the ninth. He has 29 home runs and 81 RBIs against the Royals, his most against any opponent. Juan Soto followed with his 22nd homer, the sixth pair of back-to-back homers by the Mets. Huascar Brazobán (5-2) won after allowing four hits and a two-run homer by Bobby Witt Jr. while pitching the seventh. Kodai Senga returned from the injured list to make his first start in since leaving a June 12 start with a right hamstring strain. Working on a pitch limit, Senga threw four scoreless innings, allowing four hits and two walks, striking out four. Michael Wacha allowed a run on two hits and three walks in five innings, striking out five. Advertisement Key moment After Kyle Isbel's seventh-inning leadoff single, pinch-runner Tyler Tolbert stole second. The Mets challenged and the safe call was overturned because Tolbert came off the bag during his head-first slide. Witt homered two batters later. Key stat Senga's 'ghost fork' has induced 113 of his 206 career strikeouts. Up next Mets RHP Frankie Montas (1-1, 6.14 ERA) was set to face Royals RHP Michael Lorenzen (5-8, 4.61) on Saturday. ___ AP MLB: Marc Bowman, The Associated Press

(AP Photo/Godofredo A. Vásquez) SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Willy Adames homered in the second inning and hit a two-run triple in San Francisco's five-run fifth and the Giants sent the rival Los Angeles Dodgers to their seventh straight loss with an 8-7 victory Friday night. San Francisco pulled within four games of the first-place Dodgers in the NL West. Advertisement Dominic Smith homered leading off the fifth after Jung Hoo Lee's two-run triple in the fourth put San Francisco ahead against Dustin May (5-6). Lee beat out an infield single in the fifth to drive in another run. Shohei Ohtani hit his 32nd home run of the season into McCovey Cove beyond the right-field wall for a go-ahead two-run shot in the third inning. Ohtani connected after Hyeseong Kim's leadoff single marked the first hit of the night against Logan Webb (9-6), who walked Ohtani in a nine-pitch battle to begin the game and finished with six runs, six hits and six strikeouts over 5 1/3 innings. Camilo Doval allowed Mookie Betts' single then walked Freddie Freeman before getting Will Smith to ground into a game-ending double play for his 15th save. Advertisement Ohtani crushed a 91.1 mph cutter on Webb's first offering of the at-bat and the ball traveled 410 feet. Michael Conforto's two-run homer in the sixth chased Webb after he hit Betts with a pitch. The Dodgers have their worst losing streak since Sept. 2-11 2017, when they dropped 11 in a row. May, who beat the Giants on June 15, was tagged for seven earned runs on five hits in 4 2/3 innings. Key play Following his triple, Lee was called out at home on a fly by Casey Schmitt and a sensational throw by left fielder Conforto. The Giants challenged the call and it was upheld on review. Key stat Ohtani's blast marked the 65th home run into the water by an opponent in Oracle Park's 25-year history and 171st in all — 35 of those belong to home run king Barry Bonds. Up next Ohtani (0-1, 1.50 ERA) pitches Saturday opposite Giants RHP Landen Roupp (6-5, 3.39). ___ AP MLB:
