It was the ﬁ rst win for Hinch since his return from an life-threatening crash at Indianapolis in 2015 and lifted him into second in the in the Verizon IndyCar Series point standings. Hinchcliffe trails Bourdais by 19 points heading into this weekend’s Honda Indy Grand Prix of Alabama. Chris Owens/INDYCAR PHOTO WHAT TO WATCH FOR THIS WEEKEND: •TEAM PENSKE LOOKS TO CONTINUE BARBER DOMINATION: Team Penske has won four of the seven Verizon IndyCar Series races at Barber Motorsports Park, including last year’s race with Simon Pagenaud. Team owner Roger Penske will look to add another trophy to his team’s collection during the Honda Indy Grand Prix of Alabama with a lineup of drivers who have each visited victory lane at the track. • NEWGARDEN’S HOME TRACK: Josef Newgarden isn’t from Alabama, but he considers Barber Motorsports Park to be his home track. The former Honda Indy Grand Prix of Alabama winner hails from Nashville, Tennessee, a few hours away from the “Augusta of Motorsports,” where he claimed his ﬁ rst Indy car win. Can Newgarden repeat in front of friends and family and score some more home cooking for Team Penske? • HUNTER-REAY GOES FOR A ALABAMA HAT-TRICK: Ryan Hunter-Reay is one of only two drivers to keep Team Penske out of victory lane at Barber Motorsports Park with wins in 2013 and 2014.
