Today’s question: It’s Rivalry Week in American college football. (For the record, I don’t think we’ve heard the last of that.) Over the last seven years though, Newgarden and Palou have won four Astor Challenge Cups between them. In fact, in two of his first three years at Team Penske, Newgarden won a title. In two of his first three years at Chip Ganassi Racing, Palou has won the championship. Palou has amassed nine wins, 23 podiums, 28 top fives and 41 top 10s in the same span. That’s a 40.8% win rate (20-for-49) between these two over the last three seasons. Newgarden has finished either first or second in points in five of the last seven years.
