2025 Indy 500 pole sitter Robert Shwartzman has pitstop crash
PREMA Racing driver Robert Shwartzman (83) prepares to put on his helmet Sunday, May 25, 2025, ahead of the 109th running of the Indianapolis 500 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
INDIANAPOLIS — Indianapolis 500 rookie pole-sitter Robert Shwartzman stood 29th after a disastrous pit stop Sunday on the 2.5-mile Indianapolis Motor Speedway oval.
Shwartzman slammed into some of his pit crew and the inside wall on a Lap 86 pit stop. One of his crew members is taken to the infield care center. Shwartzman requires a front wing change.

He blamed cold tires in an interview on the Fox broadcast.
"As soon as I touched my breaks, my car just go," he said.
Shwartzman had a slow first pitstop during a Lap 25 caution.
Shwartzman led the first eight laps until Pato O'Ward passed him on a restart.
The 25-year-old Israeli was the first rookie to start from the pole position since Tony Stewart in 1996. Stewart moved up one place on the starting grid after pole-winner Scott Brayton was killed in a post-qualifying crash.
Shwartzman was the first rookie to earn the pole based on speed since Teo Fabi in 1983.
The most recent Indy 500 rookie winner was Alexander Rossi in 2016. Ray Harroun (1911, the first Indy 500), Frank Lockhart (1926), Graham Hill (1966), Juan Pablo Montoya (2000) and Helio Castroneves (2001) also won as rookies.

2026 Ford Mustang FX package channels Fox body glory with retro touches
The so-called "Fox body" Ford Mustangs, the third-generation cars built from 1979 through 1993, are enjoying a sort of nostalgia-driven renaissance in interest these days. Unsurprisingly, this is because those who were young when the Fox bodies were on sale are now older, maybe with some extra cash and spare garage space to start collecting these Mustangs off-lawn, so to speak. How "in" are Fox bodies these days? Ford is even getting in on the action with a new FX package that celebrates the Mustang defined by the 1980s. This isn't the first time Ford has dipped into Fox-body lore lately, either — when the current Mustang arrived for 2024, its digital gauge cluster even included a setting that recreates the Fox body's old-school analog gauge pack. The FX package takes the nostalgia a lot further, of course, with white badges, white wheels, retro "Mustang" lettering and more. It's available only on the Mustang GT Premium trim level, on both the coupe and convertible, and with or without the Performance package. Favorite Ford classics: These 10 old Ford Mustangs are hugely underappreciated It ain't real if it ain't teal Ford doesn't choose just any white paint for the FX package; since all things Mustang must treat time like a flat circle, everything you see painted white is, specifically, painted Oxford White, a hue that was available on the original Mustang. It's used for the "GT" badges, wheels, retro "Mustang" sticker on the rear glass (coupe only), and the "nostrils" in the grille on Performance package variants. There are two wheel designs and both evoke classic Fox body designs, with the version you see here adopting a slick turbofan style. The other version — for non-Performance-pack cars — is a classic five-spoke. Both wear color-matched center caps bearing "Mustang GT" lettering in what Ford says is a new font (that happens to look like an old, Fox-body font, but who's keeping close track?). In case you missed it: The 1969 Ford Mustang Boss legacy lives on Oh, and speaking of paint, the FX package introduces a new-for-2026 paint color (which also will be available on other '26 Mustangs): Adriatic Blue Metallic. Put simply, it's a rad teal color (pictured here) — what could be more Fox-body-era than that? Another new paint color this year is Orange Fury Metallic. It has no specific history linked to the Fox body, it's just worth mentioning since it hasn't been offered on the Mustang since 2019. Pivotal digital Setting aside how blown peoples' minds would have been if, in the 1980s, their Fox body Mustangs came with the sort of digitized dashboard that today's Mustang gets (FX package included), Ford has put some effort into backdating the FX's interior. Plaid-like seat inserts do a lot of the heavy lifting here, but remember, there's always that Fox body gauge cluster option. Less obvious is the Dark Alley interior trim borrowed from the Mustang Dark Horse model, as well as subtle blue stitching and a "Mustang GT" badge on the passenger-side dash. Ford hasn't outlined the FX package's price yet, but mentions that order books for the 2026 Mustang lineup overall open in later in June 2025. We'll surely find out then how much this retro FX package (and the Mustang overall) costs. But if you want to rock out with your 1980s out in a new-generation Mustang, you should definitely peep this one. Photos by manufacturer
