Josef Newgarden was still utterly dominant and Team Penske finally flexed its muscles on Saturday at Iowa Speedway. But when it counted most, it was a different driver and team that broke through for their first win of 2025.
Pato O'Ward and Arrow McLaren snatched the lead away from Newgarden with an overcut on the final round of pit stops and the Mexican star withstood a fierce late challenge from Newgarden to claim the Sukup 275. It was O’Ward’s eighth-career win in his 100th start and the first for any Chevrolet driver in 2025, ending a stretch of dominance from Honda.
