Indy 500 runner-up Marcus Ericsson and teammate Kyle Kirkwood got slapped with penalties after their cars failed post-race checks. Turns out Andretti Global made some illegal tweaks to their rides, so both drivers were bumped down the finishing order—and lost their prize money. Ouch.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about bruised egos—it’s a big deal in racing when teams push the rules too far. Penalties like this can shake up championship standings and hit teams in the wallet, not to mention fan trust. For Ericsson, who nearly won, it’s a brutal way to lose hard-earned cash and glory.
