Defending Indianapolis 500 winner Josef Newgarden in the No.2 Shell V-Power Nitro+ Team Penske Chevrolet says that it was a pretty solid first run for him in qualifying for the 109th Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge.
It was about right. We need a little more. I think we have a little more in it, but a pretty solid run so I am happy about that.
Newgarden’s four-lap average speed was 233.004MPH and is currently third fastest behind leader Alex Palou in the No.10 DHL Chip Ganassi Racing Honda and last season’s pole winner Scott McLaughlin.
