After the Java House Grand Prix of Arlington on the streets of Arlington, Texas came to an end two Sundays ago, the NTT IndyCar Series made a significant results adjustment which had a major impact on the championship standings.
Meyer Shank Racing's Felix Rosenqvist, who lined up for the restart with one lap remaining in seventh place, passed Team Penske's David Malukas before he was allowed to do so, and he was initially scored sixth. But because the move wasn't legal, IndyCar dropped him to 20th, the final spot on the lead lap.
Now Rosenqvist is back up to 19th.
IndyCar has issued an avoidable contact penalty to Chip Ganassi Racing's Kyffin Simpson for causing the crash on the final restart which resulted in the race-ending caution flag.

Simpson technically finished 20th to begin with, but he was promoted to 19th because of Rosenqvist's penalty. Now Simpson has been dropped back to 20th, and Rosenqvist has been promoted to 19th.
