For the second time in less than a month, Kyle Larson was involved in a practice crash at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

During Friday's practice session for the 109th running of the Indianapolis 500, Larson got loose in turn 3 and spun, hitting the wall with the nose of his No. 17 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet.

Larson had only ran three laps in the session when the crash happened, but the damage was not severe enough to force the team to go to a backup car. Larson's team was able to repair both the front and rear wing.

"Had a lot of front grip in (turn) 3," Larson told Fox Sports. "Just kinda bit and felt it come around. It comes around quick once it does that. I'm not too worried about it, I think we'll be fine. We'll still be fast."

Larson is attempting his second Indianapolis 500 and is trying to complete the Indy 500-Coke 600 "Double" on May 25.
