IndyCar confirms rule changes, new 500 qualifying points system

IndyCar has confirmed several rule changes for the upcoming season, including modifications to Indianapolis 500 qualifying points, changes to the qualifying process at other ovals, tweaks to tire allotments and an increase in minimum car weight, all previously reported by RACER. Under the new Indy 500 qualifying points system, driver and entrant points will only be awarded to the top nine qualifiers, with nine points for the pole-sitter. Last year, Scott Dixon's pole earned him 42 points.
