Mid-Ohio results and points standings: Josef Newgarden snapped a nine-race winless string to open the 2021 NTT IndyCar Series season for Team Penske, winning from the pole position Sunday at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.
Newgarden led 73 of 80 laps around the 13-turn, 2.258-mile road course, including the final 23, and withstood a late charge by runner-up Marcus Ericsson, who came up 0.8790 seconds short.
Points leader Alex Palou finished third, followed by Chip Ganassi Racing teammate Scott Dixon. Alexander Rossi was fifth.
The 19th career victory for Newgarden occurred a day after Penske celebrated the 50th anniversary of its first checkered flag in IndyCar (with the late Mark Donohue in 1971 at Pocono Raceway). Newgarden had started from the pole in the past two races but had victories slip through his grasp at Detroit and Road America because of late caution flags.
“This team has been doing the job,” Newgarden said. “Everyone has been giving me a hard time, asking what’s up with us not winning a race. But I don’t think Team Penske could have done anything different. We’ve been in the game almost every race, had great performances. It’s great to seal a win here finally.”
Fitting on the Fourth of July, @JosefNewgarden becomes the WINNINGEST active American driver in @IndyCar!
