Alex's Josef Update #5 GP of Indy

The Grand Prix of Indianapolis was not the best of races for Josef Newgarden. 
so (his #1 fan) Alex was not too happy

& although she did watch the whole race looking for his car each lap, we admit she did get to playing fish school with her goldfish cracker snack as he was stuck back in 17th or so.

 

So To Recap:
After 2 races qualifying in the Firestone Fast Six, Josef Newgarden did not move on from Round 1 qualifying and started the Grand Prix of Indy from the 15th position. 
He moved up to 12th as the race immediately went yellow  but ran into trouble when he made contact with another car on the first restart.  Boo. 

He ended the race in 17th and dropped from 10th to 13th in the Indycar points standings.

 

 

 

Josef's car on Sunday, a bit prior to going out for Opening Day Indy 500 practice.

 

The Happy part, for Alex ,was that she got to see Josef on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. (but that's a whole other post that we'll do later because Alex insists)

 

 

 

More importantly Josef has started a video blog series about the days leading up to the Indy 500.

He answers questions and talks about practice and giveaways (like a Mario bobble head) and ... well it really doesn't matter, Alex is just thrilled she gets to see more Josef everyday on the computer.

 

This is Alex's favorite of his vlogs, Day 2, because he mentions us (The 321 Indycar Kids) and answers one of our questions!
