Josef update #4 Barber Motorsports Park

Josef Newgarden finished a strong 8th in the rain delayed, wet and tricky GP of Alabama.

 

After starting fourth for the second race in a row Josef dropped to tenth by lap 4, but slowly worked his way back up to 6th before falling back to 8th after his final pit stop.
He is now 10th in Indycar Points!

And it seems like Josef had some fun before the race too.

Here he is selling race tickets from atop a spider (with an 'interesting' voice):

 

He also had some fun with Hinch at the space camp at the US Space and Rocket Center:

 

 

 

OTHER JOSEF STUFF:

 

*  There was a article about Josef in the USA Today before the Alabama Race! 

 

*  Sarah Fisher Hartman racing announced Klipsch Audio will be Josef's primary sponsor for the GP of Indy on May 10th.

 

Cool Car.
Can't wait to see it in person when we're at the race!!!

 

 

Watch Josef May 10th in the Grand Prix of Indianapolis on ABC.

Josef Update #2 GP of St. Pete

JOSEF finished 9th at the GP of St. Pete!

(after starting last)

Josef Newgarden started last for the GP of St. Pete  and stayed in the back for a long, long time.  Alex was almost ready to stop watching the race.  Little did she know it was tire strategy.  He used his black tires first (which he wasn't very fast on) and then had his grippier red tires left (which he was much better on) for the rest of the race.

As Josef moved up thru the field there was much smiling, cheering and jumping up and down from Alex and although ABC did not interview Josef after the race, always a disappointment, Alex was thrilled to find this post race interview from the Sarah Fisher Hartman racing team.

With a good finish after his first race with a new engineer and new chief mechanic, Alex can't wait to see how Josef does the rest of the season!  First Indycar win?...or two?

Alex's Josef Update #1

If you've looked around our blog a bit

you know that our little sister Alexandra

ADORES Josef Newgarden.

 

So we weren't surprised when Alex wanted to do posts

about Josef throughout the Indycar season.

Now the season is about to begin

and we agreed to do a pre-season Josef post.

 

 

 

*  Josef is in his third year with Sarah Fisher Hartman Racing as an Indycar driver. (YAY) Josef will use his experience from the first two years to win this year.  (he better win or else Alexandra will be very upset)

 

*  Josef will be having veteran Alex Tagliani for a teammate in the Indianapolis 500.

 

* This In-Car video of Josef taking a really, really fast

lap around Barber Motorsports Park in Alabama is awesome!

 

 

*  Josef is pairing up with Rising Star Racing and will be monitored on his vitals and stresses during the Indy 500 in an effort to increase driver performance. 

 

*  Josef is still up to his video antics.  In this one, Josef learns how to wear a scarf from Indycar driver Simon Pagenaud.
