Robin Matthews calls her Chevrolet Cruze "Snowball," but after Sunday's Indianapolis 500, she will likely call it "Toast."

The car was struck in the Turn 2 parking area after a tire came off Kyle Kirkwood's car and went flying. While it's fortunate no fans or workers were injured by the flying wheel, the car suffered substantial damage.

Don't be surprised if Robin will be spending much of her morning on Tuesday calling body shops.

Kudos to our favorite TV station in Indianapolis, WTHR, for being on the spot in getting this great interview with Matthews (video and photo are the property of WTHR and are used here only for informational purposes):
