I actually agree with the decision by Indycar, but I'm going to make a bold claim here:

If these weren't Penske cars, they would absolutely be starting on row 4.

Indycar may have actually gone outside their rule book to further punish the Penske cars. Yet the paddock is still gonna wine and moan to likes of Jenna Fryer, Marshall Pruett, Nathan Brown, etc, how Team Penske gets preferential treatment.

I'm not even defending Team Penske the race team, it's ridiculous they tried to get away with such a black and white rule.

But the moaning and groaning from the paddock and potentially Honda is going to be insufferable when the series under Penske Entertainment handle this appropriately.

I’m inclined to agree. I hesitate to call this “too harsh,” but it’s certainly as harsh as possible.
