  1. IF the 2024 car also has the same illegal modification, and it seems to have it, the ONLY way to fix this is to strip Newgarden of the win.

    1. The race was run with cars that passed inspection. There is no reason to attempt to strip a driver of their actual accomplishments over something this small.

    2. If the “accomplishment” was gained by cheating, shouldn’t that give Pato O’Ward the win? There should at the least always be an asterisk on Newgarden’s 2024 win.

    1. The IndyCar president works for Roger Penske no matter who is in the chair.

  2. This is so disappointing. The Penske team has huge resources to spend on the best drivers, engineers, mechanics, and equipment. So why do this?
    They have put a dark cloud over this week of anticipation of the race. They have pushed a driver out of the race entirely by cheating. They’ve put Newgarden’s 2024 win in real question. They have put IMS President Doug Boles in an incredibly difficult situation – to tell his boss that his boss’s team cheated and must be penalized. They have made all of us question the fairness of Speedway decision-makers on whether any other team would have been kicked out of the race entirely rather than just moved to the back of the field.
    SO much damage. How dare they blacken the reputation, the fairness, and the joy of the Greatest Spectacle in Racing?
