On Thursday, Josef Newgarden faced a packed media center on the fourth floor of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. This was after the technical breach that was found on his car, No. 2, and on Will Power’s car, No. 12, during the Fast 12 session last Sunday. As a result, he will start the Indy 500 from 32nd place, one spot ahead of his teammate.
However, Newgarden made it clear from the outset that he had no intention of discussing the modified attenuators controversy, and he kept his word.
