Ilott was stranded at the bottom of the charts on the third day of running at Indy, prompting team chief Ricardo Juncos to make the decision to park the brand-new Dallara-Chevrolet that was built up especially for the 2.5-mile Indianapolis Motor Speedway course.
Ilott was the slowest of the 34 cars on Wednesday, and 32nd on Thursday. The Briton only ran seven laps today, with a fastest speed of 228.942mph, which was some 6mph off the leading pace.
