Team Penske has released a statement following the hefty penalties issued to the No. 2 and No. 12 entries for the upcoming Indy 500. Following an investigation, the No. 2 and No. 12 cars of Josef Newgarden and Will Power were found to have modified attenuators.

Arrow McLaren driver Pato O'Ward: “They weren't accidentally doing it, because they had the blowtorch right there in order to get it [the car] out [on track]. Honestly, I feel for [Jacob] Abel and for everybody that did the Last Chance qualifying. Those cars [Penske entries] weren't in regulations.

Both Josef Newgarden and Will Power will start Sunday's Indianapolis 500 at the back of the grid. Reactions from the paddock began with Team Penske again under fire.
