Worst to first: Pagenaud wins in Iowa after failing to qualify. MORE:
NEWTON, Iowa — Simon Pagenaud's worst-to-first run capped a wild opening night to IndyCar's doubleheader at Iowa Speedway.
Pagenaud went from 23rd to first, but Dixon was just as impressive. He started 17th before finishing second. Two mid-race wrecks set the stage for the conclusion — and drove home the value of IndyCar's new aeroscreen. “The caution was certainly the nail in the coffin. Without sounding too over-confident, we had the car to beat tonight, hands-down,” he said. “To be honest, I'm angry about how this all transpired. Some of it's just bad luck. The yellow coming out when it came out, I can't fault my guys. They did a great job. I had a rocket ship.”
Power’s wreck wound up benefiting Pagenaud, who had somehow worked his way to the front. He was again pushing his tires as far as they would go when Power brought out the caution just before he was going to pit.It only took until the restart for the second yellow to fly.
