140.020 mph at the 4-mile, 14 turn natural road circuit in Elkhart Lake, Wis.
“It’s nice when you have the car to do it. We had the speed on Friday, so to finish it off today is nice,” Newgarden said. “It’s only goal one. Two races; one for pole, one for the race. We need to close it out. Verizon has been very good to us, and Team Chevy as well. Engine package has been phenomenal to get the most out of it. You see how well we work together with Team Penske and Team Chevy. We just have to be smart and get through the first couple laps. Save the tires, save some fuel and be smart if a caution comes out in the middle of the race. We’ll see what we have for tomorrow.” Read the full story »
