Colton Herta’s No. 26 Andretti Global Honda failed post-race technical inspection at The Thermal Club for the incorrect assembly of its front suspension, resulting in penalties to the team.

In response to James Hinchcliffe’s life-threatening crash at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 2015 where the unabated impact with the Turn 3 wall pushed the lower rear suspension A-arm leg at the front of the car through its mounting point in the chassis and speared the Canadian’s backside, IndyCar mandated the use of new anti-intrusion mounting plates to prevent the front suspension’s lower rear suspension legs from punching through the car and into the cockpit in future crashes.
