Penske drivers Josef Newgarden and Will Power have be﷽en sent to the rear of the field for this week’s Indianapolis 500 for violating technical rules, IndyCar announced o♓n Monday.

Newgarden and Power had qualified 11th and 12th respectively for the most fabled race on the IndyCar calendar, but have now be🌞en demoted to 32nd and 33rd respectively on꧙ the grid.

Penske’s other driver,🧸 Scott M♔cLaughlin, keeps his 10th-place starting position.

The grid drops are among several penalties handed out to Roger Penske’s operations after two of its three Chevrolet-powered cars were 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:found t𒆙o be running a m♑odified rear attenuator - a part that is standard for all t𒈔eams - on Sunday.

Further, IndyCar has fined each entry a $100,000, while suspending their respectiveꦰ team strategists.

Both Newga💯rden and Power will also fo🍰rfeit qualification points for the Indy 500.

“Th🌠e𝓀 integrity of the Indianapolis 500 is paramount, and this violation of the INDYCAR rule against modification to this part and using it ‘as supplied’ is clear,” INDYCAR President J. Douglas Boles said. 

“The penalty should be more than simply starting where the cars might have qualified anyway, if given the ꦐopportunity. The cars belong in the field as two of the꧑ fastest 33; however, starting on the tail of the field is the appropriate penalty in this instance.”

T❀he controversy regarding modifꦅied rear attenuators erupted on Sunday, sending shockwaves down the paddock.

Penske withdrew the cars of Newgarden and Power from the To🍬p 12 shootout in response to stewards’ findings, while McLaughlin also missed out on the sess🌺ion after damaging his car in a crash during practice.

McLaughlin, however, has escaped any penalty after IndyCar “found that the car was in fact using a legal and unmodifie꧑d attenuator.”
