July 9, 2025
Newgarden was forced to retire on the opening lap from the Honda Indy 200 IndyCar race at Mid-Ohio on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Newgarden suffered from a mysterious rear wheel lockup leading up to Turn 4 on the opening lap of the race. He lost control and ended up in the gravel trap, also taking Graham Rahal with him. Newgarden has now been in an accident in three consecutive races for the first time in his career, though things could turn around at Iowa in the upcoming weekend -- a track typically dominated by Team Penske.
