Josef Newgarden's busy Indycar offseason came to an end in St. Petersburg, Florida.
His move to a much bigger team than he had at Ed Carpenter Racing and his move from Indianapolis to Charlotte to be closer to the Penske shop had to be quite an adjustment.
Expectations are high for one of Indycar's brightest stars as he begins this new phase of his career with Indycar's super team.
Josef was not in the first three weekend practices, but managed to get the car stronger for qualifying and started in 4th in Row 2 alongside James Hinchcliffe. Fourth was the highest he would run all day despite having a competitive car. He did not pit early and when a yellow came out during the pit window he ended up losing a lot of positions. He ran the rest of the race around tenth place. He ended the day finishing eighth, his best finish ever at the GP of St. Pete.
Josef started 4th and finished 8th.
