On Monday, IndyCar announced severe penalties for cars No. 2 (Newgarden) and No. 12 (Power). The drivers would be moved from a provisional starting spot of 11th and 12th, respectively, to the back of the field in 32nd and 33rd.
Alex Palou was crowned the winner of the Indy 500 over the weekend. "He now leaves the Month of May an Indy 500 champion, with a provisional 118-point advantage in the championship standings," noted Motor Sport.
His odds to win the Indy 500 originally dropped to 10/1 from 15/2 after Monday's penalty moved him to the back of the field. But now, he's back up to 15/2. Another big mover was Kyle Larson.
