"We had a great car. I don't know what else to say other than our car was fast," Newgarden said while wearing Texas' traditional celebratory cowboy hat presented to the winner."I don’t know if it fits right. I apologize to any cowboys that would make fun of my fit." The result was 482 passes for position — nearly 200 more than in last year's race. The 26 lead changes was the most at Texas since 2001, a span of 26 IndyCar races.
The chance for one final thrilling lap ended when Grosjean crashed while running fifth as the leaders took the white flag. Newgarden led a race-high 123 of the 250 laps in his Chevrolet for Team Penske. And it was a solid bounce back from last month's season opener, when Newgarden's engine caught on fire on the downtown streets of St. Petersburg, Florida.
