With Tracy Already on probation for his part in the retirement of both his own car and that of Alex Tagliani last time out in San Jose, Bourdais called on race officials to act and an unrepentant Tracy was duly punished.
As well as his fine and points penalty, Tracy will also see his probation extended by a further race, meaning it will now also cover the Lexmark Indy 300 at Surfers Paradise in October.
