Team Penske's Will Power and Josef Newgarden failed technical inspection Sunday, knocking them out of Indy 500 qualifying

Qualifying day for the Indianapolis 500 — the most important race in the eyes of Roger Penske — turned into a disaster Sunday when all three of his cars were denied a chance to run for the pole. It comes a year after the same three drivers swept the front row at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

A year after locking out the front row, none of the three Team Penske cars were able to make a run at the pole position for the 2025 Indianapolis 500. And the man starting first is an IndyCar Series rookie.
