Pole qualifying for the Indy 500 took a dramatic turn as the Team Penske cars of Josef Newgarden and Will Power were pulled out of line due to unapproved parts at the rear of the car. The resulting action for the infraction sent both cars to the back of the field. All focus has been on the modifications to the rear attenuators on the No. 2 and 12 cars, but there is much more to this story. Not because the modifications are new, or just for the 500. They have actually existed for over a year and made appearances at multiple types of tracks.
