One other late-season IndyCar race, one other set of grid penalties for unapproved engine modifications.
This time, IndyCar has introduced a nine-position beginning grid penalty for the entries of No. 2 Group Penske Chevrolet pushed by Josef Newgarden, the No. 6 Arrow McLaren Chevy of Nolan Siegel, No. 11 Chip Ganassi Racing Honda of Marcus Armstrong, and the Nos. 30 and 45 Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing Hondas of Pietro Fittipaldi and Christian Lundgaard for unapproved engine modifications following final weekend’s race at Portland Worldwide Raceway.
The groups had been in violation of:
Rule 16.1.2.3.2. A fifth (fifth) Engine is eligible to earn Engine Producer factors if a Full Season Entrant has accomplished the Full Season Entrant Engine Mileage with its first 4 (4) Engines. In any other case, a fifth (fifth) or extra Engine doesn’t earn Engine Producer factors and will likely be thought of an Unapproved Engine change-out.
In response to Rule 16.1.6.1.2., the penalty is a six-position beginning grid penalty on highway and avenue course occasions and 9 positions at oval occasions and will likely be served on the collection’ subsequent race, which is the Hy-Vee Milwaukee Mile 250s Race 1 Saturday, Aug. 31 on the Milwaukee Mile.
