INDYCAR Officiating has announced a post-race technical inspection penalty for the entry of No. 10 of Chip Ganassi Racing following today’s Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge.

During post-race inspection of car No. 10, INDYCAR Officiating discovered the front wing of car No. 10 failed the front wing height measurement.

Chip Ganassi Racing was in violation of the following rule involving the speedway front wing end plate – minimum and maximum heights:

• Rule 14.7.6.8. Front wing must adhere to the following Technical Inspection dimensions
• Rule 14.7.6.7.1. For the purposes of technical inspection, the front wing must not measure less than 8.300 inches when set at any angle, while installed on the INDYCAR technical inspection fixture.
