Two time NTT INDYCAR Series Champion Josef Newgarden captured his fourth win at Iowa Speedway, fourth of the season and 24th of his career:

I WOULD SAY THAT WAS A PRETTY SWEET DAY HERE IN IOWA

 

“I am glad I wore this cool shirt, because it was nice and easy. To be honest with you, I felt nice and cool today and this car was good.  I was surprised at how hard these guys were pushing on these restarts. You know, this was a long game day and I think (Pato) O’Ward definitely looked like he was the toughest competitor today to beat.  But I am really proud of our team and obviously Hitachi and Team Chevy showed up with a really good piece. I was disappointed after qualifying because I just hate losing them because I felt like we had enough to get the job done and we didn’t.  That motivated me because I knew we had a car here today to win this race and in front of this great crowd. Unbelievable job by Hy-Vee, you know they are throwing concerts all weekend and they are doing everything they can amenity-wise for people out here. So, this has been a great event and its one of my favorite tracks. To be able to win here again, it’s always very special.”

 

JOSEF, YOU TOLD ME “WE ARE IN THE GAME FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP”.   YOU GAINED SOME POINTS TODAY, YOU ARE LOOKING STRONG, HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT IT NOW?

 

“I feel good. We have been in the game, just not where we want to be in the game. I think if we were ahead by a good bit, that would be a lot better position to be in at this point of the year.   But you know, we are in the fight, and we are relatively there and we just have to find out how to have more consistency.  We are either winning or going sideways on our weekend. I know we can do better than this.  Its not that we haven’t been doing good, I just know consistently we can do better than what we have been doing.  We will get there, and I always have faith every weekend that I show up with Team Penske.”
