Rinus VeeKay barely made it to the 109th Indianapolis 500 after a nerve-racking last-chance qualifier. The Dutchman beat his rookie Dale Coyne Racing teammate, Jacob Abel, to claim the final spot on the grid for Sunday's May 25 race.
Perhaps that is why Veekay seemed upset when it was announced that the No. 2 Team Penske Chevrolet of Josef Newgarden and the No. 12 Chevrolet of Will Power were sent to the back of the field after it was determined that there was an illegal modification to the rear attenuator of both cars during Sunday's Fast 12 qualifying.
