IndyCar announced penalties for three drivers and their teams Monday following post-race inspections at Sunday’s Indianapolis 500, which included runner-up Marcus Ericsson dropping to 31st place.

Ericsson’s Andretti Global teammate Kyle Kirkwood, who finished in sixth, was penalized down to 32nd, and British driver Callum Ilott of Prema Racing was dropped from 12th to 33rd and last place in the field.

IndyCar said in a statement that the No. 27 and 28 cars of Ericsson and Kirkwood were found to have illegal modifications made to their Energy Management System covers. In Ilott’s case, his No. 90 car did not meet the minimum endplate height and location specification.

Ericsson, a Swede who won the 2022 Indianapolis 500, held the lead late in Sunday’s race before Alex Palou of Spain passed him on his way to winning his first Indy 500 by 0.6822 seconds.

The penalties mean that David Malukas of A.J. Foyt Racing is now credited with a second-place finish. Mexico’s Pato O’Ward (Arrow McLaren) finished third, Sweden’s Felix Rosenqvist (Meyer Shank Racing) was fourth and Santino Ferrucci (A.J. Foyt) moved into fifth.

The penalized drivers must forfeit their prize money and championship points from their original finishes. They are allowed to appeal the penalties.

Sophie Cunningham calls those who don’t understand Travis Kelce’s relationship with Andy Reid ‘weak’

WNBA guard Sophie Cunningham didn't mince words when reacting to the sideline showdown between Travis Kelce and Andy Reid - she labeled critics who criticize their rapport as "weak." On her podcast, Cunningham defended the fiery exchange, suggesting people today lack the mental toughness to understand the dynamic between a coach and player with mutual respect. During the Chiefs' win over the Giants, cameras caught Reid bumping Kelce on the sideline and both exchanging heated words. The moment went viral, and many fans debated whether Reid had crossed a line. But Cunningham stood firm: calling those who criticize even professionals's intense moments "weak," claiming coaches must be allowed to challenge their players without the backlash.She argued that Reid and Kelce share a special bond - one built on deep respect and history - which allows moments like these to occur.

Watch out Jaxson Dart: Former NFL players believe Russell Wilson wants revenge after snatching the Giants’ starting position from him

The New York Giants made a bold move in Week 4, benching Russell Wilson after a shaky 0-3 start and handing the reins to rookie Jaxson Dart. But not everyone believes this was the end of Wilson's story - especially a group of ex-NFL players who publicly suggested that Wilson has something to prove. They claim his glare during Dart's postgame celebration wasn't mere frustration - it was the spark of a brewing vendetta.In footage from the locker room, Wilson is seen locking eyes with Dart during the rookie's speech - a moment that, to some, felt loaded with tension. That stare quickly became a focal point. On social media and in commentary, various NFL vets interpreted it as more than awkwardness - they saw it as a calculated signal: Wilson wants back in. The narrative? Wilson isn't going away […]
