race at Gateway
MADISON, Ill. (AP) --- Two-time Indianapolis 500 winner Josef Newgarden flipped
his car upside down during Sunday night's race at Gateway outside St. Louis.
Newgarden crashed midway through the race after contact with Louis Foster.
Newgarden skidded on his roof for a considerable distance after the collision
with Foster.
The IndyCar safety crew immediately helped Newgarden from his car and he
radioed his Team Penske crew he was fine.
IndyCar's safety team had to turn the No. 2 Chevrolet back on its wheels after
Newgarden was out of the car and the race was under yellow for the clean up.
Earlier in the race, Newgarden teammate Will Power crashed when a cut tire
caused him to hit the wall. Power had started on the pole.
Team Penske is winless this season headed into Sunday night's race
