Penske drivers Josef Newgarden and Will Power have been sentও to the rear of the field for this week’s Indianapolis 500 for violating technical rules, I𒈔ndyCar announced on Monday.

Newgarden and Power had qualified 11th and 12th respectively for the most fabled race on the IndyCar calendar,🐬 but have now been demoted to 32nd and 33rd respectively on the grid.

Penske’s other driver, ⭕Scott McLaꦆughlin, keeps his 10th-place starting position.

The grid drops are among several penalties handed out to Roger Penske’s operations after two of its three Chevrolet-powered cars were 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:found to be runni🌌ng 🍸a modified rear attenuator - a part that is standard 🍒for all teams - on S𓃲unday.

Further, IndyCar has fined each entry a $100,00🅘0, while suspending their respective team 🐬strategists.

Both Newgarden and Power will alꦰso forfeit qualification points for the Indy 500.

“The integrity of the Indianapolis 500 is paramount, and this violation of the INDYCAR rule against modification to this part and using it ‘as supplied’ is clear,” INDYCAR President J. Douglas Boles🦹 said. 

“The penalty should be more than simply sta💖rting where the cars might have qualified anyway, if given the opportunity. The cars belong in the field as two of the fastest 33; however, starting on the ta🅰il of the field is the appropriate penalty in this instance.”

The controversy regarding modified r🐎ear attenuators erupted on Sunday, sending shockwaves down the paddock.

Penske withdrew the cars of Newgarden and Power from the Top 12 shootout in response to stewards’ findings, while McLaughlin also missed out on the session after damaging his car in a ꦬcrash during practice.

McLaughlin, however, has escaped any penalty after IndyCar “found🐓 that the car was in fact using a legal and unmodified attenuator.”
