TL;DR

Scott Dixon crashed during the opening St. Pete practice while on fresh soft Firestone red-sidewall tires, sliding into the Turn 9 outside wall. He was uninjured, but the impact damaged the nose and left-front suspension; a red flag ended the session. Team Penske said Dixon is not expected to need a backup car, and teammate David Malukas narrowly avoided the crash.
