Caio Collet’s fiery accident has set-up a thrilling late shootout to decide the winner of the Indy 500.

The race was suspended on Lap 194 of 200 following a huge fiery smash for rookie Collet exiting Turn 2 as he slid up and smashed into the barrier.

The race was boiling down to a showdown between Felix Rosenqvist and Pato O’Ward in the closing laps as they tried to eke out their fuel as David Malukas and Alex Palou were on an alternate strategy.

However, Malukas was nearly 20s behind leader Rosenqvist and not catching fast enough, until Collet’s huge accident, from which he clambered from the wreck.
