Newgarden finished second at the Synk 275 IndyCar race at Iowa Speedway on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Team Penske has performed well at Iowa historically, and Newgarden was the most consistent driver of the group. He took pole for the Saturday race and dominated by leading 232 of a possible 275 laps. A slow pit stop ultimately cost him the win, but he still managed his first podium since the St. Petersburg Grand Prix. Newgarden showed similar speed Sunday, but he was undone by a pair of untimely cautions to finish 10th.
