After most motor races, teams usually break down the pit equipment, load everything onto transporters, and head home or prepare for the next race. However, for NTT IndyCar Series teams at Road America, the checkered flag did not signal the end of their day, as they had a hybrid engine test at the Milwaukee Mile on Tuesday. The teams immediately began the hybrid conversion process after the race won by Team Penske’s Will Power. The first task was replacing the standard bellhousings with spec hybrid bellhousings designed by Dallara and supplied by Ilmor Engineering. While a full change to speedway bodywork was not required, bigger brakes were needed before the 8 p.m. curfew. The transition to the new gearbox was part of the routine for Dale Coyne Racing team, ensuring they were ready for the upcoming test on the short oval track.
