Alex Palou's points margin just got a little more interesting.
Josef Newgarden’s swept the Hy-Vee sponsored IndyCar doubleheader at Iowa.
And rightly so, as there was nothing corny about Newgarden’s performance this weekend, sweeping wins in both of the Hy-Vee sponsored races at Iowa, marking the fifth and sixth times the man some call “Newgy” has won on the 7/8-mile “fastest short track in the world.”In fact, it would not be a total surprise if Iowa Speedway, located in the little burg of Newton, Iowa—population 15,667—decides to change its name to Newgardenton, Iowa at some point.
Newgarden’s two wins dramatically closed Alex Palou’s lead in the IndyCar point standings. Palou came into the weekend with a 117-point lead. But after Newgarden’s two wins, Palou now has just an 80-point edge over Newgarden, who moved into second place, overtaking previously No. 2 Scott Dixon . Power took the pole for each of the weekend’s races, finishing fifth Saturday and runner-up Sunday. The Australian native felt this was the best chance to ever beat Newgarden at Iowa, but such was not the case.
