UPDATED: Foster, Dixon, Simpson entries get engine penalties for Milwaukee

IndyCar has announced grid penalties for the Nos. 8 and 9 Chip Ganassi Racing Honda entries, driven by Kyffin Simpson and Scott Dixon respectively, as well as the No. 45 Rahal Letterman Lanigan Honda driven by Louis Foster, for this weekend's Snap-on Milwaukee Mile 250. The nine-position penalties are for engine changes beyond the entry’s season allotment following Tuesday’s team test at Nashville Superspeedway.

The entries were in violation of:

Rule 16.1.2.3.2. A fifth (5th) Engine is eligible to earn Engine Manufacturer points if a Full Season Entrant has completed the Full Season Entrant Engine Mileage with its first four (4) Engines. Otherwise, a fifth (5th) or more Engine does not earn Engine Manufacturer points and will be considered an Unapproved Engine change-out.

According to Rule 16.1.6.1.2., the penalty is a six-position starting grid penalty on road and street course events and nine positions at oval events and will be served at the series’ next event.
