IndyCar has announced some post-qualifying penalties involving the No. 4 AJ Foyt Racing Chevrolet entry of Caio Collet and the No. 24 Dreyer & Reinbold Racing Chevrolet of Jack Harvey.
According to IndyCar, "during post-qualifying inspection of car Nos. 4 and 24, IndyCar Officiating discovered modifications to the Dallara-supplied Energy Management System (EMS) covers and cover-toA-arm mounting points with unapproved hardware. According to the IndyCar rulebook, EMS covers must be used as supplied."
As a result, both cars will be sent to the rear of the field with Collet now 32nd and Harvey 33rd. Collet had qualified 10th, advancing all the way into the Top 10 Shootout and leading all rookie drivers by a wide margin. Harvey was set to start 29th, so this won't hurt as much for him.
They also forfeit their pit positions and will get whatever boxes are left after the rest of the field. The updated Indy 500 starting lineup can be found HERE.
The specific rules they violated are as follows:
Rule 14.12.1.1. EMS must be used as supplied by Dallara and approved by INDYCARRule 14.12.1.6. EMS covers may only be attached with the supplied hardware and
Helicopter Tape.
