NTT IndyCar Series champion Josef Newgarden and Team Penske celebrated prizes in excess of $1 million received Thursday night at the season-ending Victory Lap Celebration in Indianapolis.
Newgarden, who captured his second driver’s title in three years Sunday at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, earned the $1 million bonus and a replica of the Astor Challenge Cup.
Newgarden finished the season with a 25-point lead over Team Penske teammate Simon Pagenaud, who won the NTT P1 Season Award by scoring the most points in races in which he won the pole.
