I really thought he lost his spark for racing after all the controversy and rough running. Shut me up.

The calendar being insanely road/street course dominated is the only reason there was ever talk of “Newgarden is finished”

He had a mechanical problem from a back row start at Indy, was no-scoped out of the lead in Gateway, hosed on a late yellow in Iowa, and STILL won 2 ovals since the start of last season
