LONG BEACH, Calif. -- 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.
