Technical inspections of the cars confirmed irregularities in relation to the regulations.<\/p>\n

Officials discovered modifications were made to the Dallara-supplied energy management system covers and cover-to-A-arm mounting points with unapproved hardware.<\/p>\n

Per the IndyCar rule book, Dallara-supplied control components must not be modified.<\/p>\n

IndyCar Series rookie Collet qualified 10th and made it into the Top 12. Harvey, meanwhile, was 29th.<\/p>\n

Collet and Harvey have been sent to the back of the grid in 32nd and 33rd respectively.<\/p>\n

They will also forfeit their pit positions and will select their pit boxes after the rest of the field has an opportunity to adjust accordingly.<\/p>\n

In addition to the grid demotion, Collet has had his three bonus points from making it into the Top 12 stripped.<\/p>\n

The net result is that Chip Ganassi Racing\u2019s Scott Dixon and Rinus VeeKay of Juncos Hollinger Racing will earn points for 10th and 11th place respectively.<\/p>\n

Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing driver Takuma Sato is ineligible for bonus points given he did not participate in Top 12 qualifying.<\/p>\n

The penalties can be contested, with neither team having said whether it will contest the sanctions.<\/p>\n

Practice at the Indianapolis 500 continues on Tuesday at 3am AEST.<\/p>\n
