INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Ryan Hunter-Reay’s victory at New Hampshire will stand.
A three-member IndyCar panel on Wednesday upheld Brian Barnhart’s decision Aug. 14, rejecting a protest by two teams to change the finishing order.
Newman/Haas Racing and Target Chip Ganassi argued that their drivers, Oriol Servia and Scott Dixon, passed Hunter-Reay on the final restart — before another accident brought out a red flag.
Barnhart, IndyCar’s president of competition, determined the race should not have restarted and reverted to the previous starting order. The panel agreed with Barnhart.
