Last night IndyCar Officiating Issued their first post-race bulletin detailing inspections and rulings during the Bommarito Automotive Group 500. Click the link below to see the full report. It is quite detailed and specific, and the rulings might provide guidelines for how the rest of the season will be officiated.
Some highlights:
Scott Mclaughlin received a $1,500 fine for hitting another team’s pit equipment; Louis Foster got docked $3,00 for the same offense because it was his second time this season hitting equipment.
The incident in Turn 1 between Alex Palou and Nolan Siegel warranted no action, but the stewards ruled that Siegel had more responsibility for the contact.
I’m glad that the officiating board is publishing this information. It will help me understand the stewards’ thought process better. I will probably still disagree with hem at times, but at least I will understand why they made a certain ruling.;
