IndyCar on Wednesday fined Andretti Autosport $25,000 because the team used a water bottle to make weight in the car Alexander Rossi drove to end his 49-race losing streak. Rossi's car failed inspection following Saturday's win on the road course at Indianapolis Motor Speedway when it was discovered to be underweight. IndyCar said the water bottle was used instead of ballast and the car failed to meet the minimum weight requirement.

ELKHART LAKE, Wis. — (AP) — Josef Newgarden earned a $1 million bonus on Sunday for winning at Road America, where his third win of the season completed a trifecta of victories on IndyCar's different circuits. It was the first year of the challenge and claimed before the halfway point of the IndyCar season; Newgarden is the only driver with multiple wins through eight of 17 races. Chevrolet won the race with Newgarden, but Honda took the next four spots. DeFrancesco received a stop-and-go penalty for making avoidable contact, and Power dropped to second in the standings, 27 points behind Ericsson. Josef Newgarden won at Mid-Ohio last year.

Ericsson is second in the standings – three points behind leader Will Power – heading into Sunday's race at Road America. Scott McLaughlin won the opener at St. Petersburg, Pato O'Ward won at Barber and Colton Herta won on the Indianapolis road course. But he won his first pole since 2019 in qualifying and is trying Sunday at Road America to end his drought. This will be de Silvestro’s first IndyCar start of the season and 70th of her career. It will mark the first time Road America has been repaved since between the 1994 and 1995 seasons.

Competitive balance has defined the opening portion of this IndyCar season.

Rossi will start from the pole Sunday at Road America, site of his last IndyCar Series victory 44 races ago on June 23, 2019. We’ll enjoy it, but we’ve got a job to do.”The American became the eighth different pole winner through eight qualifying sessions, the most parity since 1961 for IndyCar. There were nine different pole winners that season. Simona de Silvestro, making her first start of the season, qualified 27th and last in the field as she adapts to her first IndyCar road course race since 2015. We’re not doing anything different,” Rossi said.

The win for the Australian was redemption from a year ago when Power controlled the first race of the Belle Isle doubleheader. This year's Belle Isle finale was only one IndyCar race as the event will return to its original downtown street course layout in 2023. The victory was a celebration for Chevrolet, the race sponsor, and its headquarters loom over the Belle Isle course.

Belle Isle was a doubleheader the last eight years and Ericsson won on Saturday last season, with O'Ward winning on Sunday. It is just a single Sunday race this weekend, the final time the event will be held on Belle Isle.

Texas has hosted IndyCar since the track opened in 1997 but its existing contract, done by Eddie Gossage, who retired as general manager last year, expires after the race Sunday.
