IndyCar Disqualifies Josef Newgarden and Team Penske Drivers for Rules Violation

The disqualification of Josef Newgarden and Scott McLaughlin from the St. Petersburg Grand Prix results, six weeks post-race, underscores stringent enforcement of regulations.

IndyCar officials disqualified Josef Newgarden and Scott McLaughlin for exploiting a 'Push to Pass' system violation during the St. Petersburg Grand Prix.
The discovery was made during a warmup session for the Long Beach Grand Prix, leading to a detailed review of the St. Petersburg race.
Team Penske, owned by Roger Penske, accepts the penalties, which include a 10-point deduction for Will Power and fines totaling $75,000 for the three drivers.
The revised results promote Pato O'Ward of Arrow McLaren as the new winner of the St. Petersburg race.
New technical inspection procedures will be implemented starting with the Barber Motorsports Park race to prevent similar violations.
