NEWTON, Iowa (July 18, 2020) – Defending NTT INDYCAR SERIES champion Josef Newgarden proved Iowa Speedway might just be his best racetrack on the schedule as he put on a dominating performance Saturday night to win Race 2 of the Iowa INDYCAR 250s Doubleheader. It’s the first time Newgarden has won a race since capturing last year’s race at Iowa 363 days ago. “Feels really good,” said Newgarden, who finished fifth in last night’s Race 1 despite leading 68 laps. O’Ward started the race 12th and quickly charged to the front, settling into second position on Lap 67. But O’Ward had a slow pit stop on Lap 172 that ruined his chances of challenging Newgarden for the win. His team rolled him back into the pit box to secure the tire, but any chance he had at challenging Newgarden for the win was over. The 2012 series champion’s night was ended, and he finished 22nd.
