Josef Newgarden wins again on an oval (shock!) at Iowa as Alex Palou and Felix Rosenqvist take the IndyCar fight to Penske 👊 FULL REPORT & RESULTS 👇
O’Ward made a poor restart, getting swamped by Ericsson and Power – the latter jumping up to third to make it a Penske 1-2-3 again, as McLaughlin attacked Newgarden for the lead – briefly getting ahead into Turn 1 – but was rebuffed. Dixon fell back to fourth, battling with Ericsson behind Power. O’Ward then got in on the act, passing Ericsson on lap 123.
McLaughlin triggered the second round of pitstops on lap 149, with Newgarden and Power reacting on the following tour. Newgarden retained the lead by 2.6s, while O’Ward ran third ahead of Power and Dixon, but not for long. The restart on lap 169 was in the order Newgarden, Power, Dixon, Herta, Rosenqvist, Ericsson, Malukas and Rossi, with McLaughlin and O’Ward rejoining ninth and 10respectively but on fresher rubber. Herta and Rosenqvist jumped ahead of Dixon, with Rosenqvist soon establishing himself in third.
The final round of green-flag pitstops began with 55 laps to go, Power losing time as cars around him pitted as he was ready to leave. That allowed Rosenqvist up to second, and he became the surprise challenger to Newgarden – getting on to his tail, with the other Penskes of Power and McLaughlin trailing behind him., who blocked him despite being 3 laps down, costing the Swede 2s.
