Team Penske driver goes back-to-back on the big oval at Texas Motor Speedway.
Using a golf analogy from a guy who likes to hit the links a lot, you can say it was “T” time once again for Josef Newgarden on Sunday.
“It’s been a hell of a start to the year,” O’Ward said. “The guys gave me an absolute rocket ship. It’s been an absolute joy to drive, this No. 5 Arrow McLaren Chevy. We’ve had two second-place finishes so we’re still waiting for that win this year. Another driver having a good day was 2021 IndyCar champion Alex Palou, who finished with a third-place podium finish.
Rossi was able to get back on-track, but not before extensive work had to be done on his car, including a new front wing and front suspension parts. He returned to the track six laps down and finished 22nd, 7 laps off the pace.In a sense, though, Rossi got some vindication as Kirkwood exited the race on lap 98 of the 250-lap event with rear mechanical failure that was unrecoverable from. It’s unclear if the contact with Rossi ultimately led to the failure for Kirkwood.
Sato was the first driver to exit the race and finished last in the 28-driver field. The Japanese driver is competing only in oval races for CGR this year, including the Indianapolis 500, of which he’s a two-time winner.
