Alessandro de Tullio disqualified from Indy NXT win after tech inspection

Alessandro de Tullio of AJ Foyt Racing was disqualified from his Indy NXT victory after a post-race technical inspection at Road America. The inspection found that de Tullio and teammate Nicholas Monteiro used a different set of Firestone tires than those used during qualifying, violating two Indy NXT rules. As a result, Matteo Nannini of Cape Motorsports Powered by ECR was awarded the win. De Tullio, who originally secured his second win of the season, will drop to eighth in the championship standings after receiving no points from the race. This incident falls under Level 3 infractions, which can lead to disqualifications and suspensions.
