Ryan Hunter-Reay vehemently disagreed with the penalty IndyCar levied against him for a three-car accident at New Orleans. The series docked the Indianapolis 500 winner three points and placed him on probation for three races for what IndyCar called ''avoidable contact'' in last Sunday's race. ''I think it's BS and I told them that,'' Hunter-Reay told The Indianapolis Star on Friday at Long Beach. ''I've had a lot of guys come to me, a lot of drivers come to me, a lot of ex-drivers come to me, and tell me the same thing ... they all disagree with the call.'' Simon Pagenaud ran off course as he raced three-wide with Hunter-Reay and Sebastien Bourdais following a late restart.
