Rinus Veekay has suggested that Team Penske should have faced a different punishment for their168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历ꦆ史: controversy in Indy 500 qualifying.

Penske’s Josef Newgarden and Will ꦍPower failed a technical inspection during Fast 12 and were not allowed to head out to the track.

The rear attenuator on both cars was at fault for an illegal ꦯmodifica𒈔tion.

The Team Penske duo did not take part in Sunday’s sessions, the second day of qualifying, and were later ruled to start at the back of the fie𝕴ld for next🍬 weekend’s Indy 500.

But Veekay, who survived the Last Chance Qualifying ✨session by bumping out Jacob Abel, thinks another ruling would be better suited.

“The cars went through tech sev💖eral times la꧅st week,” Veekay was quoted by Indy Star.

“It was only discovered at that point.

“I would have thought it was fair if they had to go to the Last Chance Qualifier and deserved ꦰto fight their way into the field.

“It's an even more unfortunate situation for Jac🦄ob now.

"If yo🦩u had told me a week ago that I'd be starting on 🔥the same row as two Penskes, I would have been very happy!

"Unfortunately, we're a༺t the tail end of the field."

Should Jacob Abel replace Team Penske in Indy 500?

Veekay, whose Last Chance Qua🗹lifying progression meant he would have started 33rd, at the back, has now been nudged forward two positions with t👍he Penske cars behind him.

Veekay’s Dayle Coyne Racing te🔯ammate Abel was the sole driver to be pushed out of the race after Sunday’s qualifying⭕.

His exclusion can be viewed differently now, after Team Pens✤ke’s vi📖olation.

Abel said: “I 𒐪do appreciate everyone’s support, saying we should be in the race because we were legal.

“But at the end of the day, we knew what we shou🌠ld do on Saturday and Sunda💙y and, unfortunately, we came up short.

“I want to be in the  more than anything 𒉰in the world, but I don’t want to be there on a technicality.

“I want to deserve to be there. And we have🏅 our chances like every other car did and we didn’t make it.”

Team Penske have come under fire from several🐼 within the IndyCar paddock since their exc෴lusion from qualifying on Sunday.

McLaren’s Zak Brown went further by questioning 🎀th🍸e decision-making of the Team Penske bosses.
