Fifth Gear: Five Takeaways from WWTR Race

After a whirlwind evening of racing in Saturday nightā€™s Bommarito Automotive Group 500 presented by Axalta and Valvoline at World Wide Technology Raceway, the NTT INDYCAR SERIES can exhale before the season championship hits its final sprint. ā€œWhen you look at Newgardenā€™s pace all year, it really is not a lack of performance,ā€ said Power, who finished third in Saturday nightā€™s race. Chevrolet also had a good weekend, with its cars finishing in the top five positions. Pagenaud did the best he could from there, finishing eighth in the No. ā€œI finished my first oval race — it was a very, very good experience,ā€ Grosjean said. They have combined for three podium finishes and five top-five finishes this season. The finish allowed Sato to climb into the 10th position in the standings. Newgarden was particularly pleased with the oversized champagne bottles offered to the top-three finishers of Saturday nightā€™s race. Newgarden wasnā€™t joking, either, saying they should be ā€œmandatoryā€ at all races.
