IndyCar Officiating has announced a post-race technical inspection penalty violation by the #10 Chip Ganassi Racing Honda of Alex Palou following the 110th Running of the Indianapolis 500.
IndyCar Officiating stated the following via a release:
“During post-race inspection of car No. 10, IndyCar Officiating discovered the front wing of car No. 10 failed the front wing height measurement.
“Chip Ganassi Racing was in violation of the following rule involving the speedway front wing end plate – minimum and maximum heights:
- Rule 14.7.6.8. Front wing must adhere to the following Technical Inspection dimensions
- Rule 14.7.6.7.1. For the purposes of technical inspection, the front wing must not measure less than 8.300 inches when set at any angle, while installed on the INDYCAR technical inspection fixture.
“IndyCar Officiating has determined that the non-compliance was the result of an assembly error and not an intentional modification. Car No. 10 has been penalized five championship driver and entrant points and the team has been fined $10,000.”
