The NTT IndyCar Series announced three grid penalties for the Milwaukee Mile event this weekend. Chip Ganassi Racing’s Kyffin Simpson in the #8 car and Scott Dixon in the #9 car both required new engines due to previous failures during a test session last week at Milwaukee. Both cars exceeded the annual engine limit, resulting in penalties before the race. Louis Foster also faced a penalty as his #45 entry encountered issues during practice, necessitating a new Honda power plant. All three drivers will receive a nine-place grid penalty, which is standard for oval events, affecting their starting positions for the 250-lap race on Sunday afternoon. Despite the penalties, if any of the drivers qualify fastest, they will still secure pole position but will have to start the race further back in the grid.
