Josef Newgarden wins GP Alabama 2017

Josef won the GP of Alabama!!!!
Again!  
Josef returned to the site of his very first Indycar win, Barber Motorsports Park, and won for the second time in three years!

 
Josef started seventh and ran really strong all day long.  He made some really neat passes during the race including one on Scott Dixon for second place in the closing laps.   When Josef's teammate Will Power had to pit for a cut tire, Josef got the lead.  Scott Dixon was right behind him with twice the amount of Push to Pass seconds left, but Josef still managed to hold him off for the final 12 laps.  It was Josef's 4th win of his Indycar career and his first driving for Roger Penske.




Josef is currently 3rd in the Indycar points standings, just 7 points behind leader Sebastien Bourdais.
 

Up next for Josef the Phoenix Grand Prix
where he finished 6th last year in his first visit there.
 
GO JOSEF!  GO JOSEF!  GO JOSEF!
