“I can’t believe it,” Bouc said. “I’ve come close many times and I finally got one.”
All of that euphoria was out the window by a little after midnight when the verdict was rendered: Bouc was disqualified.
Nall was not totally surprised. Bouc’s engine supplier, Moon Power of Indianapolis, according to Nall, has had several engine legality issues previously,
Bouc had rented the engine from Moon for this race and was unaware of its issues until technical inspection.
Daley was elevated to second. Joe Pacovich, Zack Myers and Jonathan Cash moved up to fill in the top five.
