Excellent race! A lot of news stations are reporting it is in Apache flyover. I didn’t see any Apaches. What I did see was two Blackhawks. Pretty sure they were Night Stalkers. Whatever the latest version of the Blackhawk is in Pave status.

WOW!!!

Indy 500 runner-up Marcus Ericsson penalized to 31st

INDIANAPOLIS — Indianapolis 500 runner-up Marcus Ericsson was penalized to the rear of the 33-car field along with Andretti Global teammate Kyle Kirkwood on Monday after their cars were found to have unapproved modifications in the postrace inspection that could have helped their aerodynamic efficiency.

Ericsson finished second to Álex Palou on Sunday when he was unable to make a winning pass in the closing laps. He now will be credited with a 31st-place finish while Kirkwood, who had finished sixth, has been relegated to 32nd.

IndyCar said the modifications made by Andretti Global were to the Energy Management System covers provided by Dallara, the company that provides the chassis for the series. The rulebook states that those parts must be used as supplied.

Ericsson and Kirkwood had to forfeit their prize money and championship points from their original finish and instead will receive the money and points for their penalized finish. Each of the cars also was fined $100,000 and the competition managers for the teams have been suspended for the upcoming race on the streets of Detroit.
