After qualifying third for the this year's Indianapolis 500, Arrow McLaren's Pato O'Ward met with the media to discuss his strong showing. But when asked about the technical violation involving Team Penske's two remaining cars in Fast 12 qualifying, he did not hold back.
IndyCar officials found something amiss with the rear attenuator on Josef Newgarden's No. 2 Chevrolet. Will Power's No. 12 Chevrolet had the same issue, but was already sitting in the pit lane. Penske decided to work on the cars, believing they could rectify the problem and still qualify without issue, but that was not the case.
