Robert Shwartzman experienced a scary moment during Sunday's Indianapolis 500 when he crashed on pit road, knocking over multiple crew members.

The vehicle hit four crew members and one left on a stretcher.

However, as the IndyStar 's Nathan Brown reported Monday, Daly's Indy 500 was actually quite gross, as he unfortunately faced an in-car challenge many (if not, all) drivers dread: having to go to the bathroom during a race.
