INDIANAPOLIS (Saturday, Aug. 29, 2026) – INDYCAR Officiating has announced a post-qualifying penalty for No. 10 INDY NXT by Firestone entry of Chip Ganassi Racing today at the Milwaukee Mile.

During post-qualifying inspection, the No. 10 entry did not pass the minimum Underwing Height check required by Rule 14.7.1.

INDYCAR Officiating considers this a Level 1 infraction based on the published penalty guidelines, and the No. 10 entry will lose nine starting positions on the grid for the 90-lap race Sunday on the 1.015-mile oval. The No. 10 entry qualified fourth and will move back to 13th on the starting grid.
