Four Honda-powered NTT IndyCar Series entries have been issued nine-spot grid penalties for exceeding the allowed number of engines for the season. The cars affected are the No. 10 Chip Ganassi Racing car of Alex Palou, the No. 9 Ganassi entry of Scott Dixon, the No. 51 Dale Coyne Racing car of Katherine Legge, and Felix Rosenqvist’s No. 60 Meyer Shank Racing Honda. The penalties vary depending on whether the infraction occurred on ovals or road and street courses. These engine changes were made to ensure fresh engines for the final five races of the season. If a fifth engine is used, it can only earn points if the team has completed the engine mileage limit with its initial four engines.
