The Pato O’Ward wins the Synk 275 at the beginning of his 100th Indycar and after maintaining the pressure of Joseph Newguarden, after a red flag in the last few laps and warned, which made a dog fight in the line.
Starting from the fifth, the O’Ward worked quickly through the grid to put himself in a race-winning position before a slow pitstop for Newguarden, when he later put a lap.
A red flag was brought when the team partner of O’Ward, Nolan Seagal, collapsed in the wall under a heavy influence, which meant that repair was needed.
Leading 232 out of 275 laps, Newgarden was aggressive on Palu in the last five laps, but did not find any way despite his reputation in Iowa.
On Vijay Lane, O’Ward said: “We are waiting for a full year. It’s crazy, my 50th race was also a win here in Iowa, it’s only another victory that is here. It’s a good story.
“This is a Chevi 1-2-3 podium so I would say it was about time. I am super happy [that] I am a Chevy man who gave him his first win this year. ,
Speaking on pressure to put Newgarden behind, O’Ward spoke politely on his fellow driver, named ‘The King of Corn’, which is due to his success around Iowa.
O’Ward congratulated: “Joseph is a master in in race. He ruled here, so I knew that we had to appear and I had to be so accurate on in-laps to defeat him in my game.
“We have a lot of couples Joseph and me, but they usually have a percentage that comes out at the top and today I was like ‘you, what changes today,’.”
Starting on the pole, Newgarden drove the ground away from the line, before the colon Harta extended the moments in the race and finished on the grass from the Start/Finnish line.
Able to go again, it took the first care.
Newgarden made a great second start, while Nolan Sagal took a bold step on Will Power.
The Pato O’Ward saw an opportunity in Palu, but was in a hurry to the Spanish driver to move away and the Rousnakwist was in a good position to place himself in third place and get it after the daily.
After his accident in qualifying, McLaglin managed to move on the grid and was in a hurry to create positions from the line from the back of the grid.
Across the race, we will weave your way with a final finish in the fourth through the McLaglin Grid.
After taking Jacob Abel on the marbles, another precaution was taken after being taken to the wall.
With this, Rasmusen made his second big big saving of the day as he managed to thread the needle between Rasmusen and the wall.
Earlier in the race, Rasmusen was very close to walking out in the wall, which saw him entering a flow around a turn.
Due to some dirty moments in the race, Rasmusen had a similar race for McLaglin as he cut his way through the ground and finally finished sixth after finishing 19th.
The first round of the pit was brought in the perfect moment, cautious made a pitlane frenzy because almost every car was darted to fuel and change the tire.
In the first round of the pit was the largest losing dalle, who came out of the pit lane in the fifth, while Pato went to fourth, Dixon third and Palu from Palu.
Rewrite the O’Ward, surprised both Dixon and Palu and quickly beat both and both of them also followed the opportunity and followed the McLaren driver, through which the chip Gansi pair dropped the fourth and fifth position.
Dixon lost another place after powering the back of the mid-ohio race winner and followed Palu.
Another precautions were taken after Kyle Kirkwood’s second accident occurred. Going to a turn, Kirkwood seemed suffering from a tire failure that sent him to the wall at a fast pace.
Retirement is another gutural blow to Kirkwood’s championship expectations with gap widening every weekend.
The strongest race for Palu is not the fifth place, it is still lost at the top end.
The victim, Kirkwood said: “I’m fine [and] I’m feeling good, [it’s] Just unfortunate. I felt that we are making a big improvement in the race and we are starting to get into the group and are installing our strategy quite well and some out of our control have ruined it here for us today.
“It just goes away. Can’t do anything about it. Unfortunate but not much to say.”
On re -starting the Newguarden and O’Ward, the crowd escaped from the back as they fought with Palou, who acting as a blockade for sharp drivers behind.
Will Power, despite falling slightly back on the third restart, began to bother Palu, before he finally passed to take a third with about 50 laps to leave.
Although Power showed good pace with his Penskay team colleagues, he was unable to live in front of him with two cars and joined more with the defending McLaglin in the closing stages.
As the first Green Flag Pitstops began to be, Newgarden beat up before the O’Ward and then had a slow pitstop as the front tire would not be closed.
O’Ward later put a lap and managed to steal the lead from Newguarden.
The O’Ward aggressively pressurized, the newguarden would have to wait for another opportunity to be another opportunity after the race, which was a red flag after the seal accident in the wall.
The seagel was running a nice race in the top 10 before the incident with an incredibly lucky time accident because all the front runners had also erected and therefore did not risk losing the edge.
Sitting in the car during the red flag, O’Ward told FS1: “It’s going to be a firing till the end. I have found a sharp car, I have found fast cars behind me, so it will be flat to the end.
“Man [Newgarden] Master is, you have to go extra miles to defeat him and defeat him in your game. The race is not over and I am sure he is going to be right on us ”
In the gesture, when asked how the King of Corn is called in Spanish, it is time to “bend the table and give him a little headache.”
Once back on the track, the O’Ward led the moments of the grid before taking another precaution because Callum Ilot found himself very high and hit the wall.
The rear wing of Ilot became loose, but thanks to a tether, it was brought back to Pitlane by Prema Driver.
Only to go restarted with laps only, O’Ward and Newguarden finally covered in a sprint in a sprint, just found sufficient in the tank to separate the king of Iowa with O’Ivard.
At the end of the race, Newgarden remarked: “Once the O’Ward got the position of the track there, that game was over, it was just as simple.
“My car is quick and Team Chevi has done a great job; finally it is a big thing for Team Chevi to win and they should have more way in the year to get one in the end.”
Despite the disadvantage, Newguarden and Penscay will stop feeling more optimistic about the future race with the team, given the return of competitive pace in both three drivers.
The home line Eastern came behind the Newgarden, Power, and McLaglin O’Ward and tomorrow, with another race, the team will feel that they have a very good chance of winning at least one at the end of this week.
