Josef Newgarden (born December 22, 1990)[1][2] is an American race car driver that competes in the IndyCar Series full-time for Team Penske. He is the 2017 and 2019 NTT Indycar Series Champion and 2011 Indy Lights champion.
Career[]
Karting[]
Newgarden's first race vehicle was a Motorized scooter purchased at a skate shop in Hendersonville, Tennessee. In 2001, Josef competed in events across the country. After a year of this, his father purchased a kart.[3]
When he was 13, he and his family ventured far outside of Tennessee to find a competitive kart racing environment. This led Newgarden to a kart racing facility in New Castle, Indiana that had recently been launched by IndyCar driver Mark Dismore. In an order to stay efficient with funding, Newgarden would focus on local and regional championships rather than competing nationally.
In just his first year of karting (2005), Newgarden would finish 2nd and 3rd in the Kart Racers of America (KRA) Junior Can Championship. He would also compete in the TAG world championships that year in the junior division, securing the title.
In 2006, he would have his most successful year in karting, securing two championships in the KRA Junior Can division and repeating as the TAG World Champion in the junior division.[4]
He would go on to compete in junior car racing in 2007, but would return to karting several times down the road, racing in the highly competitive Robo-Pong 200 at New Castle Motorsports Park several times over the next few years. He would win the 200 mile endurance race twice with both successes coming with members of the Dismore family as his teammates (Mark Dismore Sr in 2011 and Mark Dismore Jr in 2013).
Early Formula Car Racing[]
Skip Barber[]
Newgarden started his open-wheel car career in the Skip Barber Racing School series in 2006. He finished as runner-up in the Southern Regional Series with three wins and another seven podium places.[5] He next competed in the 2007 BFGoodrich / Skip Barber National Presented by Mazda championship, finishing sixth with two wins.[6] Newgarden remained in the series for 2008 and improved to second place, with three wins.[7]
Formula Ford[]
At the conclusion of the 2008 season, Josef was selected for the Team USA scholarship to compete at the Formula Ford Festival and Walter Hayes Trophy. He would secure the Formula Ford Festival title, becoming the only American to ever do so.
At the Walter Hayes Trophy event, Josef would win all of the qualifying races leading to the main event. He would also start the event from the pole position. Unfortunately, mid-way through a rain stricken race Josef crashed from the lead, finishing 6th place.
In 2009, he would move to England to compete in the British Formula Ford Championship and start his European career. He would finish runner-up in 2009, leading the series in total race wins and amassing 550 points.[8]
Formula Palmer Audi[]
Newgarden competed in the opening round of the 2009 Formula Palmer Audi season at Brands Hatch, taking two wins and a fourth in the third race.[9]
GP3 Series[]
In 2010, Newgarden competed in the newly formed 2010 GP3 Series with Carlin Motorsport.[10] 2010 would end in Josef's most disappointing championship position of his young career, finishing 18th in the points. The season was highlighted by a pole position at Hockenheimring and a best finish of fifth at the season finale at Monza.
Indy Lights[]
At the start of 2011, Josef would return home to the United States to compete in the Indy Lights Series with Sam Schmidt Motorsports.[11] He won his first Indy Lights race in the season opener on the Streets of St. Petersburg.[12] He followed his opening win in St. Petersburg with four more wins and ten podium finishes out of thirteen races in 2011,[13] clinching him the points championship with one race to go.[14] In New Hampshire, the 11th race of 2011, Newgarden lapped the entire field and went on to win. He was the first Indy Lights driver to do this since Thiago Medeiros in March 2004.[15] Josef, as a rookie, would also lead the series with the most number of wins for the 2011 season.
IndyCar[]
2012–2014: Sarah Fisher Hartman Racing[]
On December 7, 2011, Newgarden was announced as the driver for Sarah Fisher Hartman Racing. It is quite rare in IndyCar for a rookie driver to be offered a multi-year contract but Sarah and her team saw promise in Josef. Sarah's team was viewed as the smallest outfit in the series and Josef was certainly headed for a significant challenge in his first entry into professional motorsport. He competed in IndyCar from 2012 to 2014 with Sarah Fisher's team, steadily progressing and improving with each weekend. He would earn his first podium at the 2013 race in Baltimore. 2014 would be his standout year with SFHR, he would very nearly secure wins at both Long Beach and Mid-Ohio, and would stand on his second career podium at Iowa Speedway.[16]
2015: CFH Racing[]
During his fourth full season in IndyCar, Newgarden raced under the merged team of Sarah Fisher and Ed Carpenter.[17] Under this new team banner Newgarden started 2015 strong, finishing in 12th position at St. Petersburg and improving his position with each race.
During the fourth race weekend in the 2015 season at Barber Motorsports Park, Newgarden earned his first Indycar Series victory at the 2015 Honda Indy Grand Prix of Alabama, moving from 5th to 2nd on the first lap of the race, and leading the most laps on the way to a 2.2-second win.[18]
Proving that his win wasn't luck he would win again later in the season at the 2015 Honda Indy Toronto[19] and finished the 2015 season 7th in the standings with 431 points, a personal best in IndyCar.
2016: Ed Carpenter Racing[]
Sarah Fisher ended her participation in IndyCar after the 2015 season, leaving Newgarden to drive for the reformed Ed Carpenter Racing. Newgarden started the 2016 season strong with a podium at the 2016 Honda Indy Grand Prix of Alabama at Barber Motorsports Park. He barely missed pole position during qualifying for the 2016 Indy 500 and started in the middle of the front row. He finished the 100th running of the Indy 500 in a strong 3rd.[20]
At the 2016 Firestone 600 at Texas Motor Speedway Newgarden crashed hard into the wall, breaking both his hand and clavicle.[21] Remarkably, he returned to the car two weeks later, working his way to a top 10 spot at the 2016 Kohler Grand Prix at Road America.[22]
Only 28 days after his crash at Texas, Newgarden won the 2016 Iowa Corn 300 in dominating fashion, leading 282 of 300 laps.[23] A remarkable achievement with a broken hand and shoulder.
At IndyCar's return to Watkins Glen International, the 2016 Grand Prix at the Glen, Newgarden claimed another podium, finishing 2nd.[24] After a 6th-place finish at the 2016 GoPro Grand Prix of Sonoma,[25] he finished the season in fourth place overall in the season standings. In a testament to their hard work and success, Josef and ECR would finish the season as the highest non-Team Penske car in the series. A considerable feat for a small team.
2017–present: Team Penske[]
On September 29, 2016, ECR owner Ed Carpenter confirmed that Newgarden would not be back with the team in 2017.[26] Newgarden moved to Team Penske for the 2017 season,[27] with the team making an official announcement on October 5.[28]
Newgarden won his first race with Team Penske during round 3 of the 2017 season at Barber Motorsports Park; clinching the victory after a duel with Scott Dixon in the final laps.[29] Newgarden moved into the IndyCar points lead following back to back victories at Toronto and Mid Ohio.[30]
At Gateway, Newgarden held off his teammates and Scott Dixon to clinch his fourth series victory of the season but not without controversy as late in the race, Newgarden went under teammate Simon Pagenaud very late going into Turn 1. After bumping tires, both continued but, as Pagenaud nearly hit the wall, he was not pleased with his teammate's move. The following week at Watkins Glen, Newgarden had a sizable cushion in the points over second-place Dixon. Coming back onto the track after a pit stop under green on cold tires, he lost control of the car as Sébastien Bourdais made contact with him damaging the suspension. Newgarden ended up leaving the Glen with a three-point lead, later a four-point lead as he won the pole for Sonoma, setting a track record. Newgarden needed to finish 4th or higher regardless of Pagenaud's result and he finished 2nd to clinch his first title.[31] Newgarden became the first American born driver to win the Astor Cup since Ryan Hunter-Reay in 2012.
Newgarden won the opening race of the 2019 season at St. Petersburg and followed that up with wins at Detroit, Texas and Iowa. He led the points standings after every race except the Indy 500 where Team Penske teammate Simon Pagenaud led from the pole position. Newgarden won his second IndyCar title at Laguna Seca by only 25 points.[32]
Newgarden started his second title defense slowly in 2020, a season shorted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Although he finished third at the opener in Texas he found himself in an early season slump that put him in a hole to rival Scott Dixon. By mid season and toward the final stretch he produced a series of wins and podium finishes that set him up for a title deciding showdown with Dixon at the final round in St. Petersburg. Newgarden could only win the championship if he won the race and Dixon either retired or finished no better than ninth. During the race Newgarden overtook Pato O'Ward in the closing laps after a restart and held onto the lead for his second consecutive win in St. Petersburg but ultimately failed to defend his title when Dixon finished third.
Entering 2021 Newgarden was seen as the main challenger to Scott Dixon for the series championship. In what was a difficult year for Team Penske Newgarden started the season off poorly in Alabama with a massive crash that took out himself, Colton Herta, Ryan Hunter-Reay, and Felix Rosenqvist on the first lap but rebounded with two second place finishes in the first four races at St. Petersburg and Texas. Starting at Race 2 in Detroit Newgarden would go on a streak of securing three consecutive pole positions but only managed to convert one of those into a win due to mechanical issues and bad strategy calls by his team.[33] Newgarden got his first win and Team Penske's first win of 2021 at Mid Ohio, where he led 73 of eighty laps and won from the pole position. The win was his nineteenth in IndyCar which allowed him to overtake Ryan Hunter-Reay as the most successful American driver currently active in IndyCar. Newgarden picked up a second win at Gateway and vaulted himself to third in the championship after Scott Dixon and championship leader Alex Palou, the latter of whom benefited from Newgarden's bad luck at Road America, were both taken out in a three car accident during the race.
Personal life[]
Newgarden was born in Nashville, Tennessee to Joey and Tina Newgarden, who had moved from New York in the 1980's with the family photography business.[3] Josef is half Danish via his mother.[3] He credits watching racing on TV at an early age with his father, who was an avid fan of NASCAR, IndyCar and Formula 1, as what got him into the sport.
Newgarden grew up in Hendersonville, Tennessee, where he was a former classmate of NASCAR driver Josh Berry in the 7th and 8th grades.[3]
Before starting racing, Newgarden played baseball, football and basketball.
On October 7, 2018, Newgarden announced that he and his longtime girlfriend, Ashley Welch, had got engaged while on a trip to Japan.[34] Josef and Ashley were married in the fall of 2019 in Nashville, TN.
Media appearances[]
Along with fellow racers Tony Kanaan and Helio Castroneves, he competed in the Indianapolis round of season 8 of American Ninja Warrior in 2016.[35]
Newgarden is the driver ambassador for the SeriousFun Children's Network, a charity started by actor and race team owner Paul Newman.[36] Newgarden is also a talented ping-pong player. He hosts an annual celebrity tournament during the month of May that raises funds for the Serious Fun Children's Network. In 2019, the tournament raised over $100,000 for the charity.[37]
Newgarden is an avid gamer and is currently a Brand Ambassador for the Microsoft title Forza Motorsport. His voice is featured in the game and he is frequently featured in Forza content.[38]
He was featured on several episodes of CMT's Nashville Squares during the fall of 2019.
