Indy Toronto 2017
The streets of Toronto were no match for three of the 'young guns' of Indycar racing as Josef Newgarden, Alexander Rossi and Canadian James Hinchcliffe grabbed the seats on the podium. A first lap tangle involving points leader Scott Dixon and Will Power left the three remaining Penskes, and Graham Rahal in the top spots. It was a well timed pit stop that gave Newgarden the lead on lap 25 and he held that position for most of the rest of the race.
The win gave Josef his 2 win of the year racing for Roger Penske, and the fifth win of his 6 year Indycar career.
