Penske may have gotten away with an illegally modified rear accentuator in the past, it has been claimed.
Team Penske has faced penalties in the Indy 500 qualifying after two of its cars were found to have failed technical inspections. The team was found guilty of modifying a standard part, the rear accentuator, by filling and smoothing its seams, which is against the rules. Despite IndyCar’s actions against Penske, the controversy has lingered on. During a press conference with IndyCar president Doug Boles, it was revealed that teams had known about Penske’s modifications for some time. Videos circulating on social media also show potential illegal modifications on Penske cars from previous races. Boles emphasized the importance of teams reporting any suspicions of rule violations to the series promptly.
