Wins at Gateway
Newgarden won for the sixth time in 11 starts at the 1.25-mile oval just across the Mississippi River from St. Louis, enduring two rain delays during the race Sunday night to capture a feverish, fascinating Bommarito Automotive Group 500 presented by Axalta and Valvoline, IndyCar.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Marcus Ericsson would dominate the first half of the race but as the evening air cooled the track, Newgarden's car would come alive. The Penske Racing star would seize control on lap 221 after a running duel with Christian Rasmussen and never looks back. Newgarden then maintained a half-second gap back to Ericsson in the closing 10 laps to secure the victory.
