Our next guest is the NTT IndyCar Series points leader, Josef Newgarden, who drove to victory in the June 1 Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix Race No. 1. Because the race was delayed nearly 90 minutes because of lightning, it because a 75-minute timed event. And Newgarden pitted at just the right time, when he dove down pit road on Lap 19 get off the rain tires for the racing slicks once the track was dry. Just as he pulled into his pit stall, Ed Jones crashed to bring out a full-course caution. That closed pit lane and when Newgarden returned to the track, and the rest of the field pitted a few laps later, he was in front of Alexander Rossi. The two drivers fought it out over the remainder of the race with Newgarden prevailing for his 12th career victory.
