After the debut of the Arlington Grand Prix, IndyCar has made the decision to modify the race results regarding the incident involving driver Kyffin Simpson.
This incident took place during lap 69, just before a restart with one lap remaining. The crash involved both Nolan Siegel and Romain Grosjean, and forced the race to finish under caution. Following a review of the situation, it was determined that Simpson had initiated the incident when he hit Siegel into the wall in a frustrated attempt to avoid him.
As a result, the Chip Ganassi Racing driver has been relegated to the end of the round of drivers who finished the race, dropping from 19th to 20th position. Meanwhile, Felix Rosenqvist, who had been previously penalized for advancing the restart, climbs to 19th position. This change represents an alteration in the championship scoring, although it does not affect the current standings of the drivers.
IndyCar will return to the track this weekend for its fourth round of 2026, scheduled at Barber Motorsports Park.
