Will Power Penalized After Clipping AJ Foyt Crew Member in Long Beach Pit Lane

The penalty highlights how Long Beach’s narrow pit lane can endanger crews during crowded stops.

Overview

  • Power’s Andretti Global car ran over AJ Foyt tire changer Ryan Marzec’s feet during the lone caution pit stops on Sunday at the Long Beach Grand Prix.
  • Marzec was X-rayed with no broken bones, treated and released from the infield care center, and later flew back to Indianapolis with the team.
  • INDYCAR issued a drive-through penalty that dropped Power to 24th before he worked back to finish 19th.
  • Power said he spoke with Caio Collet’s crew, accepted the penalty, and apologized, explaining Christian Lundgaard was alongside as he tried to exit his stall.
  • The incident deepens a rough start to Power’s first year with Andretti Global, where he has one top-10 in five races and sits 14th in the standings.
