Josef Newgarden finished 2nd!
after starting 13th
in the second race of the Indycar Dual in Detroit.
It was his highest finish ever in 11 attempts
at the streets of Belle Isle.
Josef Quote (from the Team Penske website): "I'll be honest, I think we were all just trying to get to the end. There were just two laps to go and we had marbles all over the tires. In that type situation, there's not much you can do. You want to say you'd be able to go race this guy and try to beat him. And I would have done that if he messed up; if he made a mistake, I would try to capitalize. But if everyone stays steady, we are just trying to hold on to the race car. It’s very difficult to do that at the end. When it's your weekend, it’s your weekend. (Graham) Rahal did a great job. It's a good bounce back for us at Team Penske in the Hum by Verizon Chevrolet. It's good to be in Detroit. Thanks to all the fans that came out and Chevrolet for all they do. It's fun to be in this city. I was trying to get Chevrolet that win but just didn't have enough today."
He led 7 laps pitted 4 times,
and finished with an average speed of 105.420 mph.
He had the fastest lap of the race at 113.346 and he had the fastest lead lap of 113. 104.
He moved up one position in the Indycar season points standings to 5th place heading to Texas.
