Following Sunday’s qualifying for the Indianapolis 500, two cars failed inspection and have been disqualified, with Caio Collet and Jack Harvey having their times removed and being positioned at the back of the grid. Collet had advanced to the Top 12 qualifying round and originally earned the 10th grid position, while Harvey was set to line up on the 10th row before the penalty, having set the 29th best time in the first round. The violations, 14.12.1.1 and 14.12.1.6, were related to the Energy Management System covers and mounting points, with modifications found using unapproved hardware. The advantage gained was potentially aerodynamic in nature, relating to the suspension mounting points. The infractions were committed by AJ Foyt Racing and Dreyer and Reinbold Racing, sending both Collet and Harvey to the back of the field and resulting in Collet losing his bonus points for qualifying in the Top 12. Finally, drivers qualifying 11th or lower will move up to fill the grid gaps, while Collet and Harvey will start on the 11th row next Sunday.
