The IndyCar Series is heading to the 109th Indianapolis 500 this Sunday amid a rules infraction by Team Penske. Modified rear attenuators found on the No. 12 and No. 2 cars during Sunday’s Fast 12 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway led to an initial decision to make Josef Newgarden and Will Power start 11th and 12th in the upcoming race and new penalties arriving Monday that sent them to the back of the field. Team Penske received other punishments as well.
McLaren driver, Pato O'Ward was one of the first drivers to express an opinion about the matter, and it was a strong one. When addressing the media following his front-row start in Fast 6, he said that both cars should have been sent to the last-chance qualifier.
