Alex Palou, Chip Ganassi Racing Hit with Post-Race Indy 500 Penalty

INDYCAR Officiating has issued a post-race technical infraction penalty to Chip Ganassi Racing following the conclusion of the 110th Running of the Indianapolis 500.

During the post-race technical inspection, officials discovered that the front wing on the No. 10 car driven by Alex Palou failed the mandatory front wing height measurement. The car was found to be in violation of Rule 14.7.6.8 and Rule 14.7.6.7.1 of the NTT INDYCAR SERIES rulebook, which states that the speedway front wing end plate must not measure less than 8.300 inches when placed on the official technical inspection fixture.

INDYCAR determined that the height variance was the result of an assembly error by the team rather than an intentional modification. While Palou retains his seventh-place finishing position in the box score, the team has been docked five championship driver and entrant points and hit with a $10,000 fine.
