Dan Wheldon and
Marco Andretti have been penalized and put at the back of the grid after officials ruled that both drivers had crossed the white line at the bottom of the track during their qualifying runs.
Wheldon (Panther Racing) was third while
Andretti (Andretti Autosport) had qualified 11th at the Kansas Speedway before the officials' ruling.
The demotions mean Dario Franchitti and Hideki Mutoh move up to third and fourth places, with Fazzt's Alex Tagliani and Foyt's Vitor Meira impressively sharing row three.
