IndyCar: Honda gets manufacturer points deduction

Honda received a deduction of 100 manufacturer points from IndyCar for engines that did not attain their life cycle minimum, the sanctioning body has announced.

According to Rule 10.6.4.3 of the Verizon IndyCar Series rulebook, 20 manufacturer points are deducted for an engine that fails to reach its 2,500-mile life cycle. The Honda engines on the No. 5 Schmidt Peterson Motorsports, No. 15 Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing, Nos. 26 and 28 Andretti Autosport and No. 98 BHA with Curb-Agajanian entries did not reach their life cycle minimum before being changed out after the Iowa race weekend.   

Following the adjustment, Chevrolet has totaled 1,279 manufacturer points for the season and Honda has 911.
