Indy Lights Race-Winner Penalized by Stewards
Written by Allan Brewer · April 6, 2008
Sam Schmidt Motorsports’ Richard Antinucci punted teammate Ana Beatriz out of the lead on a late race restart to win his third race of the last six. He was penalized ten championship points post-race for ‘avoidable contact’ by the race stewards.
The result cost Beatriz a sure win with only six laps remaining, and denied the Indy Racing League its first woman victor in an open-wheel race.
