Engine Troubles Challenge Team Ahead of Indy 500 Qualifying

During Indy 500 practice sessions, a team was forced to undertake a full engine swap, prompting an intensive effort. The new power unit was installed on Wednesday night, and a similar change was made on Tuesday for the team owner’s car.

These technical setbacks have raised concerns ahead of the scheduled turbo boost on Friday and the qualifying runs over the weekend. Veteran driver Alexander Rossi affirmed his focus on the race despite the issues and praised his crew’s rapid response.

Upcoming tests will reassess the car’s performance before the final qualifying sessions.
