IndyCar has imposed six-position starting grid penalties on Marcus Armstrong’s No. 11 Chip Ganassi Racing Honda, Pietro Fittipaldi’s No. 30 Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing Honda, and Felix Rosenqvist’s No. 60 Meyer Shank Racing Honda for the Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. These penalties stem from unapproved engine changes made after a team test at Iowa Speedway last Thursday. The violation falls under Rule 16.1.2.3.2, concerning engine changes past allowable limits for full season entrants. According to Rule 16.1.6.1.2., the penalty incurs a six-position penalty for road and street course events and nine positions for oval events, to be served at the next event in the series.
