NEWGARDEN DOMINATES TO WIN IOWA: Still healing from injuries sustained in a crash at the suspended race at Texas on June 12, Josef Newgarden (right) dominated the Iowa Corn 300 at Iowa Speedway. Driving the No. 21 Fuzzy’s Ultra Premium Vodka/ECR Chevrolet, Newgarden cruised from a front-row start to his third career win. Newgarden, who won last year at Toronto, led an Indy car record 282 laps en route to the win, which propelled him to second place in the point standings. Shawn Gritzmacher/IMS Photo WHAT TO WATCH FOR THIS WEEKEND: PAGENAUD AIMS FOR FIRST TORONTO WIN: Simon Pagenaud (right) has controlled the Verizon IndyCar Series point standings since the start of the season and carries a 73-point advantage into the Honda Indy Toronto over Josef Newgarden. But the Frenchman hasn’t fared well in Toronto, never finishing in the podium in seven previous starts. Can Pagenaud score his first win in Toronto this weekend? WELCOME TO HINCHTOWN: James Hinchcliffe has been to nearly every Honda Indy Toronto since he was a toddler, attending his first race at 18 months old. Now the Verizon IndyCar star returns after missing last season’s race due to injury. Can Hinchcliffe claim his first win at his home race?
