Penske driver Hélio Castroneves has been handed a post-race penalty for passing J.R. Hildebrand under yellow flags at Twin Ring Motegi earlier today, with stewards opting to punish the Brazilian for the move which ocurred on the final lap of the race.
The decision drops Castroneves from seventh to 22nd in the overall classification, meaning Power's new title lead over Ganassi rival Dario Franchitti is already cut to 11 points. With two rounds to go, a total of 100 points are available in the title fight.
