Photo by Chris Owens<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Two-time NTT INDYCAR SERIES champion Newgarden faced his strongest challenge from Pato O\u2019Ward, the 2018 Indy Lights champion. O\u2019Ward started the race 12<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;and quickly charged to the front, settling into second position on Lap 67.<\/p>\n<p>O\u2019Ward kept his No. 5 Arrow McLaren SP Chevrolet in Newgarden\u2019s rear-view mirror for a large chunk of the night, closing the gap to within half a second just past the halfway point in the race. But O\u2019Ward had a slow pit stop on Lap 172 that ruined his chances of challenging Newgarden for the win.<\/p>\n<p>O\u2019Ward and his team attempted to undercut Newgarden and pit early, hoping the fresh Firestone tires would put O\u2019Ward ahead of Newgarden. During the stop, the car was dropped from the jack before the left rear tire could be secured. O\u2019Ward drove off and stopped just past his box. 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.

I don\u2019t know what we have to do to keep the bad luck off of us, but hopefully this is the start. Our guys did an amazing job yesterday. I was so disappointed for them. I was angry for them because I felt like they had the winning car. They put in the work, but they just weren\u2019t able to get rewarded for it. So, I was so determined to come back today. I think everyone was so determined to come back today to the track and have a really good race. And we just ran hard. We ran hard all day. I am so proud to be powered by Chevrolet. I feel like we had the package to beat. Fuel mileage, durability, and we had the power. And to have Hitachi back on, I think they gave us that good luck charm. So, thank you to Hitachi. Thanks to everyone at Team Penske back at the shop. I\u2019m just thrilled we were able to get this monkey off our back. I don\u2019t think I have been here on pole before. So, I was sitting here thinking: \u2018We can do that. I don\u2019t know why we can\u2019t convert from pole.\u2019 Just kind of a silly stat, I guess. I knew we had speed. I felt totally confident. You know when Tim (Cindric) is on my stand and I have my guys doing pit stops, I have complete confidence we can win any race we go into, so that stat wasn\u2019t bugging me. It would have been nice if we could have had a couple of finishes where we thought we should have been. Like at Road America, we had a winning car that Saturday. I wasn\u2019t able to secure that. I knew we needed a win and we need another one to come again soon. We need to be able to put consistent finishes on the board.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>2<sup>nd<\/sup>&nbsp;\u2013 WILL POWER (No. 12 Verizon Team Penske Chevrolet):&nbsp;<\/strong>\u201cIt feels good. We just had a solid day. I just want to thank Verizon and Chevy for all of their support. I would have loved to have the win, of course. I\u2019m glad for once we actually get a good result out of it. Soldier on, man. I\u2019m going to look forward to trying to have a good rest of this season. I don\u2019t know what it is I have to do to have normal races like (Scott) Dixon and (Simon) Pagenaud. Excited to have a good finish tonight, though.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>3<sup>rd<\/sup>&nbsp;\u2013 GRAHAM RAHAL (No. 15 Hy-Vee Honda):&nbsp;<\/strong>\u201cThe Hy-Vee car came in third, and I think we actually had the best car on track tonight. We passed a ton of cars. It was just hard at the end when Will (Power) was driving on the same line as me. It was difficult up high to get the grip to go by. Thanks to Hy-Vee for coming on board this weekend and thanks to Honda; the motor was a rocket. We\u2019re proud to be powered by Honda. It was a great run right there and just a good rebound for our team after starting in the back. I\u2019m super excited with P3, and we\u2019re moving up in the championship. The entire team worked awfully hard. And even better, we raised $24,900 for Turns for Troops with United Rentals this weekend, which is awesome.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>4<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;\u2013 SIMON PAGENAUD (No. 22 Menards Team Penske Chevrolet):&nbsp;<\/strong>\u201cIt was a tough, dramatic weekend, but we prevailed. I want to thank Team Penske, Menards and Chevy for giving me the horsepower going forward. We weren\u2019t quite as hooked up today. I think we might have gone the wrong way with an adjustment during a pit stop, and from there we had to do quick pit stops, so we didn\u2019t make any changes. Maybe we didn\u2019t have the outright pace, but overall first and fourth is pretty good when we started last in both races. I\u2019m pretty pleased with our results. It seems like the championship is shaping up, so it\u2019s pretty exciting right now. It\u2019s satisfaction from a preparation standpoint. We just showed everyone in the paddock that you have to count on us no matter what happens. That\u2019s the mark of a championship team. That\u2019s what you want to do. That\u2019s what you want to show every weekend. You want people to fear you. I\u2019m pretty sure they feared us today. We\u2019ll regroup again and go to Mid-Ohio and be strong from there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>5<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;\u2013 SCOTT DIXON (No. 9 PNC Bank Chip Ganassi Racing Honda):<\/strong>&nbsp;\u201cI think we knew this weekend was going to be one of our biggest challenges in terms of race weekends. We haven\u2019t been as strong at Iowa as we\u2019ve been at other tracks. We worked on it and tried some things and learned a lot, and we were able to work our way up and get a good result for the PNC Bank car.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>6<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;\u2013 OLIVER ASKEW (No. 7 Arrow McLaren SP Chevrolet):&nbsp;<\/strong>\u201cYou can\u2019t complain about two top 10s and especially my first podium. After yesterday, it was hard to sleep with all the adrenaline. Just had to focus and get back to it today. Really proud of Arrow McLaren SP, Chevrolet and everyone on this team. I know Pato (O\u2019Ward) had a really good shot at a podium and a win there, so definitely on the right track. Two podiums in two race weekends for us. We have quick fast cars and looking forward to the next few races to keep the momentum going and really have a good run at the rookie of the year championship. All in all, a great weekend. A big thanks to everybody that showed up tonight and the fans watching at home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>7<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;\u2013&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>JACK HARVEY (No. 60 AutoNation \/ SiriusXM Honda):<\/strong>&nbsp;\u201cI thought that was a really solid weekend for Meyer Shank Racing. If you would have said before this weekend we\u2019d have two seventh-place finishes and two top 10s in qualifying, we\u2019d have taken that, for sure. I\u2019m so proud of everyone at Meyer Shank Racing who have had constant and relentless determination to have a good season. We\u2019re just going to keep rolling with our momentum into the bossman\u2019s home race at Mid-Ohio in a few weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>8<sup>th<\/sup><\/strong><strong>\u2013 ALEXANDER ROSSI (No. 27 AutoNation \/ NAPA AUTO PARTS Honda):<\/strong>&nbsp;\u201cEveryone hung in there, and the AutoNation \/ NAPA guys were awesome in the pits again, which is so great and such a reward for their hard work this offseason. Couldn\u2019t have done that without them. Rob (Edwards) had a good strategy call to get us back on the lead lap. Ultimately, I think it was an OK day considering where we started. I think we were a little bit worse in some places than yesterday and a little bit better in some places. I think, ultimately, we just had an eighth-place car, so that\u2019s the way it went. We\u2019ll keep marching forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>9<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;\u2013 MARCUS ERICSSON (No. 8 Huski Chocolate Chip Ganassi Racing Honda):&nbsp;<\/strong>\u201cI thought we had a good day. We made some good improvement overnight in the Huski Chocolate car and then again in practice. We definitely made some gains and were looking good for a top five tonight. We got a bit unlucky with the yellows and lost the positions we had gained with our pace. I was happy with the way I drove and got to make some good overtakes. But that\u2019s racing, and sometimes that happens with the yellows. We were up there again and in the mix, collecting points and finishing races. We\u2019ll build on this again tonight and hopefully get up to the front very soon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>10<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;\u2013&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>MARCO ANDRETTI (No. 98 U.S. Concrete \/ Curb Honda):&nbsp;<\/strong>\u201cWe had a drama-free race tonight. I think this is our first one of 2020 without something going bad on our car. I think we should probably have about four top 10s by now, but we just have to play it where it lies and just try to build from here. We can\u2019t really look at points at this point. We just have to focus race by race, and Indy is a championship in itself. If we can build even more confidence through Mid-Ohio, it will be even better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Remainder of Drivers (alphabetical \u2013 with finishing position):<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>ED CARPENTER (Finished 23<sup>rd<\/sup>&nbsp;\u2013 No. 20 U.S. Air Force Chevrolet):&nbsp;<\/strong>\u201cI caught a group of guys that were stacked up two-wide in front of me. I had Charlie (Kimball) on the inside, and I just went into Turn 1 a little too hard. I got more understeer than I thought, got up into the marbles and couldn&#8217;t get it back. I am so disappointed that I made that mistake. The U.S. Air Force Chevrolet was really hooked up tonight. We struggled so much last night but felt like we really showed something tonight. I&#8217;m not sure what hurts worst, the poor performance last night or messing up a good result tonight. On to the next one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>CONOR DALY (Finished 13<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;\u2013 No. 59 Gallagher Carlin Chevrolet):&nbsp;<\/strong>\u201cTough night for us. The No. 59 Gallagher Carlin Chevrolet was really strong all race, and even after we came out on the wrong side of Ed\u2019s (Carpenter) yellow, we were still pushing up at the front, running pretty consistently in the top three. We made a strategy call there at the end to stay out under the yellow and wait to take tires until about 35 to go. Unfortunately in tonight\u2019s race, it just wasn\u2019t the right strategy, and we didn\u2019t move forward like we thought we would. I\u2019m gutted for the team because the car was great and had serious podium potential, but we just had some bad luck. Obviously, I\u2019m still feeling good about our pole from yesterday, but it would\u2019ve been really nice to come away with a top-three finish this weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>SANTINO FERRUCCI (Finished \u2013 18<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;No. 18 SealMaster Honda):<\/strong>&nbsp;\u201cThe SealMaster Honda was really good tonight. I think we had a top-10 car. It was a good rebound from yesterday\u2019s race. We had a fantastic start. I think we had the wrong strategy and caught the yellows at the wrong time. It put us a lap down and from there we were chasing it, trying to get it back and never could with the way the race unfolded. Now I\u2019m just looking forward to Mid-Ohio and having a good result.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>COLTON HERTA (Finished 19<sup>th&nbsp;<\/sup>\u2013 No. 88 Capstone Turbine Honda):<\/strong>&nbsp;\u201cIt was a pretty disappointing day. We just didn\u2019t really have the pace today. We went loose, and around here if you make a small mistake in setup, it just bites you badly, and we saw that. I think we had some high parts to the weekend, and unfortunately we ended on a low. But fortunately we have a lot of time to go through everything before Mid-Ohio and make sure we are ready for that race.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>RYAN HUNTER-REAY (Finished 22<sup>nd<\/sup>&nbsp;\u2013 No. 28 DHL Honda):&nbsp;<\/strong>\u201cI was looking to make up a lot of track time on that out lap, and I short-shifted out of second gear, knowing that first (gear) was my problem last night. I got on it in second, and it just came around. I almost caught it \u2013 but almost doesn\u2019t count. It sucks. The guys on the 28 team certainly don\u2019t deserve that. We had a rough night. We were hanging on, but we were at least P6, P7. We were really looking forward to getting the ball rolling here for the season. It\u2019s been one thing or another, and obviously this is down to me. It\u2019s unfortunate. DHL and AutoNation, they all deserve results and we are working on it. I was just pushing 110 percent and just asked a little too much of it there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>TONY KANAAN (Finished 11<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;\u2013 No. 14 Bryant\/AJ Foyt Racing Chevrolet):&nbsp;<\/strong>\u201cAll in all, I think it was a positive weekend for us. We definitely have a much more competitive car. We\u2019ve been running in the top 10 every single race with one of these cars, so really happy. Very emotional weekend for me yesterday giving the command. It was kind of like, I never had done that, so it was kind of mixed feelings and it was really cool to do it, but also it\u2019s something really coming to an end. Today we had a great race. We ran in the top eight all day long. The tire strategy we played a little bit of a gamble, and it worked, so I was really happy. I was a lot more comfortable today in the car. You know, doing this race is like one weekend, four weekends off \u2026 it\u2019s kind of weird to me. I\u2019ve done 17 races in a row for 23 years, so I think this is a good lead for Indy. We\u2019re going to have a normal \u2018Month of August\u2019 in Indy, so I\u2019ll be in the car every day, so hopefully we\u2019ll go for the big win because that\u2019s what my boss wants. Thanks to Bryant, Firestone, Chevy and the whole Foyt team for the opportunity. Let\u2019s go to Indy!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>CHARLIE KIMBALL (Finished 16<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;\u2013 No. 4 Tresiba AJ Foyt Racing Chevrolet):&nbsp;<\/strong>\u201cAnother tough night here at Iowa Speedway for the No. 4 Tresiba Chevrolet. The guys did a great job in pit lane &#8211; they\u2019ve done that all year. It\u2019s nice to rely on that coming down pit lane to pick up tires and spots, but we just struggled a little bit. I struggled with grip. I struggled with balance. Felt like I drove pretty hard, but we had a lot to learn and a lot to look at heading into the next race at Mid-Ohio and the big one at Indy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>PATO O\u2019WARD (Finished 12<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;\u2013 No. 5 Arrow McLaren SP Chevrolet):&nbsp;<\/strong>\u201cYesterday, I think we started off the weekend well. In the second race, the best way to sum it up is \u2018what could have been.\u2019 We had the pace; we were strong. I made up positions to be fighting at the front. In the end, it was not meant to be for us, but we\u2019re going to continue pushing to finish strong at Mid-Ohio.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>ALEX PALOU (Finished 14<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;\u2013 No. 55 Dale Coyne Racing with Team Goh Honda):&nbsp;<\/strong>\u201cWe started closer to the front than last night, and unfortunately I didn\u2019t have a good start. I lost a lot of positions, but once we settled in, I think we had a really strong car. We were able to pass some guys, which we didn\u2019t do as much yesterday. I also started passing cars on the outside, which was pretty cool. I also didn\u2019t do that in the first race. So, I\u2019ve definitely learned a lot the last couple of nights and was more comfortable, for sure. We improved a lot, so I\u2019m happy. The car was better, I was better. It\u2019s just a shame about the result. The last yellow cost us a lot. Overall, I really enjoyed racing on a short oval. The next time I come here it will be a bit calmer, and I\u2019ll know to expect. There was a lot to learn, but I really liked racing here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>FELIX ROSENQVIST (Finished 15<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;\u2013 No. 10 NTT DATA Chip Ganassi Racing Honda):<\/strong>&nbsp;\u201cIt was a tough race, and we just really struggled with balance and grip. We were really loose a few timesl and it was just one of those days you\u2019re glad to get the NTT DATA car back in one piece and work on it for next time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>TAKUMA SATO (Finished 21<sup>st&nbsp;<\/sup>\u2013 No. 30 Panasonic\/Mi-Jack Honda):&nbsp;<\/strong>\u201cI had a massive handling problem. The car was very loose. We had to come back to the pits for an extra, emergency pit stop to reduce the seven turns of front wing, down, which is something unusual. We haven\u2019t looked at the car yet to see if there was something wrong, but it was a tough, long night. Congrats to Graham (Rahal). He did a great job for the 15 team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>ZACH VEACH (Finished 20<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;\u2013 No. 26 Gainbridge Honda):&nbsp;<\/strong>\u201cHonestly, this is maybe the toughest weekend in INDYCAR I\u2019ve had in my career. This is a place where we have always been pretty strong, and we just didn\u2019t have it when we rolled off this weekend. We struggled with the car all through practice, qualifying and the race on the first day. We tried to make a Hail Mary today, going back to a setup we knew was good last year, and it just didn\u2019t give us what we were looking for, so we were just stuck struggling today, as well. It\u2019s just frustrating. These ovals, you can only go as quick as your car goes. It\u2019s just tough. I want to thank my Gainbridge crew for sticking with it. They worked insanely hard this weekend to give me a good car. With these tight schedules, when you unroll with something that isn\u2019t great, it\u2019s hard to make it better in a short amount of time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>RINUS VEEKAY (Finished 17<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;\u2013 No. 21 SONAX Chevrolet):&nbsp;<\/strong>\u201cYesterday, the car felt amazing. I could pass whenever I wanted, and tires would stay good for a long time, at least 80 laps. I struggled with that tonight. I just didn&#8217;t have the pace to charge through the field. Still, we were doing well, closing back in on the top 10 after a bad start. Then, at the second pit stop, the car got down on the ground with three wheels on it. We had trouble restarting the car and lost about three laps. That was a bummer. We are very unlucky at the moment, but let&#8217;s hope it will switch around soon. Mid-Ohio is coming up soon, and that&#8217;s been a good track for me.
