. Team_Penske issues update on JosefNewgarden, reveals he'll stay in hospital in Des Moines, Iowa, overnight IndyCar
Team Penske-Chevrolet’s two-time champion, who dominated the first race in the Hy-Vee IndyCar Race Weekend at Iowa on Saturday, was looking similarly strong in Race 2. However, on Lap 235 of Sunday’s 300-lap race, the #2 Hitachi car appeared to squat on its right-rear corner, possibly the result of a failed suspension component, and spun hard into the Turn 4 wall at the little 0.894-mile oval, the car’s left-rear corner bearing the brunt of the impact.
However, he later fainted and fell, prompting a trip to a local hospital where he is to remain overnight. “Josef Newgarden was involved in an incident late in Sunday’s race at Iowa Speedway, after which he was evaluated and released from the infield care center. “Due to the 45-minute drive to MercyOne Des Moines Medical Center and the traffic outside the racetrack, the medical helicopter was determined to be the best mode of transportation. “Following IndyCar protocol, Newgarden will be evaluated by the IndyCar medical staff on Thursday.”
