IndyCar admit to Dixon mistake

IndyCar official's have admitted that they made a huge mistake when they gave Chip Ganassi's Scott Dixon a drive trough penalty for jumping the restart following a caution period. Dixon had a disasterous race and eventually finished the race in 11th place.

When Scott received his penalty he had made his way up to 5th place in the race and could have gone on to challenge for the win. IndyCar said that the penalty was given as a result of both human error and and a computer glitch. That certainly won't be any consolation to Dixon who is locked in a very tight battle for the championship with Penske's Will Power.

I watched the race last night and felt that the penalty handed to Dixon was extremely harsh and unnecessary.
