Patricio O’Ward: Wins Synk 275
O'Ward again celebrated a victory in a monumental race at Iowa Speedway, this time at the expense of his NTT IndyCar Series rival. In the 100th series start of O'Ward's career, the Arrow McLaren driver overcame Josef Newgarden's dominating performance in the Synk 275 powered by Sukup with late-race execution featuring a pair of restarts in the final 14 laps.
Analysis:
Newgarden would appear on his way to a dominant victory, but a late race accident and red-flag period would open the door for O'Ward. He'd have a faster pit stop and was able to get out in front the Penske Racing star. O'Ward would hold off challenges and two restarts over the final laps to secure the win. It was his first victory of the season and eighth-career win.
