Josef Newgarden dominates chippy IndyCar race at Iowa.
If you hadn't heard, Josef Newgarden is good at IndyCar's short ovals. The series has only consistently visited two, Gateway and Iowa, since he entered the series, but he has been a dominant force at both. Newgarden had already won six races on the two short ovals before today's race, including the last three. Now, he's won four in a row.
All that strategizing could not come close to Newgarden, who left just five cars on the lead lap at the end of the race, but it benefitted just about everyone else. Pato O'Ward, who briefly caught Newgarden on the final stint, finished second by six seconds after losing the bit of tire he had saved to catch the leader while fighting through traffic.
Despite dropping to eighth, Indianapolis 500 winner Marcus Ericsson remains the championship leader. His lead is down to just 15 points on Newgarden, with all of Power, Palou, and Dixon within 50 points of the lead. Pato O'Ward is 59 points back and very much alive, while McLaughlin's 93 points back will be difficult to overcome. Colton Herta, now 115 points back, is for the first time on the wrong side of that 100 point barrier with precious few races left to make up ground.
