Welcome to the RACER Mailbag where readers can send questions to mailbag@racer.com for RACER’s writers. Not every letter may be published, but as many as possible will be answered. Letters received after 3pm ET on Mondays will appear in the following week. Some published questions may be edited for length and clarity. The recent Penske crew suspensions have raised questions about the impact on the team’s performance during the month of May, with some feeling the punishment was more of a PR move than a genuine disciplinary action. In the Indy GP, both Rahal and Armstrong faced engine failures, potentially leading to penalties later in the season if they exceed the engine allotment. It remains to be seen if IndyCar would waive penalties if there was a widespread manufacturing defect.
