I just got finished reading an article on USA Today's website about the finish of Sunday's Chicagoland IRL race that attributed the confusion over who won the race to a "faulty transponder." The article goes on the state that the transponder was improperly fitted to the car, causing the signal to be transmitted in the wrong direction (I didn't realize the transponders were directional, I always thought they were omnidirectional). If that is the case, the transponder wasn't faulty! It performed as it was supposed to. Hopefully the improper installation was simply an error on the team's part and not an attempt to gain an edge.
