IndyCar officials disqualified St. Pete race winner Josef Newgarden and third-place finisher Scott McLaughlin for illegally using the overtake system in last month's season-opener, which occurred after a line of software code was changed during hybrid testing and mistakenly used in race mode as the 2024 season kicked off.
Their team-mate Will Power, who didn't use the system illegally but could have done so, was docked 10 points, and all were fined $25,000 each and forfeited their prize money.
