During post-race inspections, the #27 and #28 cars of Ericsson and Kirkwood – who finished second and sixth respectively – were found to have modifications to the Dallara-supplied Energy Management System (EMS) covers and cover-to-A-arm mounting points with unapproved spacers and parts.
According to the IndyCar rule book, those parts must be run as-supplied by the category’s official chassis supplier Dallara. IndyCar said the modifications provided the capability for an aerodynamic benefit.
