Josef Newgarden kept his oval domination alive on Sunday by winning Sunday’s Hy-Vee One Step 250 presented by Gatorade at Iowa Speedway.
Newgarden swept the weekend by winning both races at Iowa Speedway in the INDYCAR Doubleheader.
Two-time NTT INDYCAR SERIES champion Newgarden drove his No. 2 Hitachi Team Penske Chevrolet to his sixth career victory at Iowa by .7050 of a second over teammate and reigning series champion Will Power in the No. 12 Verizon Team Penske Chevrolet. The close finish came after a three-lap dash to the checkered flag due to a late caution period.
“We knew we had a great car, and the pressure was there because I think we wanted to execute on it and make sure it was a great weekend,” Newgarden said. “I’m happy now. When you finish the first race, it’s great to have a doubleheader, but you just feel incomplete until you get through today. To be able to come back and do it again, I’m so proud of the team.
Points leader Alex Palou finished in 3rd followed by Felix Rosenqvist and Scott McLaughlin.
The next NTT INDYCAR SERIES race is the Big Machine Music City Grand Prix on Sunday, Aug. 6 on the streets of Nashville, Tennessee – Newgarden’s hometown. Live coverage starts at 11am CST on 102.7 The Game with coverage brought to you by Battery Headquarters.
