After a fuel strategy didn’t work out due to how the caution periods unfolded, Newgarden made a late pitstop under yellow and had to climb back up from 14th place.
After moving up to 10th place, at the penultimate restart following a caution period he made a bold dive up the inside of three cars and clashed with Grosjean at Turn 9. With Grosjean still alongside him at the corner exit, Newgarden sent the Andretti driver into the concrete wall, which triggered a late red flag.
