Newgarden’s teammate Simon Pagenaud is 61 back in third, while five-time title winner Scott Dixon of Chip Ganassi Racing is 94 back in fourth.
Although Newgarden certainly isn’t ready to discount a five-time champion, Dixon feels it will be time to worry once he falls more than 100 points behind, something he avoided with a incredible recovery from last after a spin on the first lap at Road America to score a top-five finish.
With Rossi nipping at his heels, Newgarden knows that having his two Team Penske teammates in the championship mix is certainly an advantage, but not in the way many might think.
