If Dale Sr. can win the Daytona 500, Josef Newgarden can win the Indy 500. The curse is over!

As a Newgarden fan since his breakout season in 2015, I have waited for this moment for a very long time. I had serious doubts he would never conquer Indy, but he did. Still doesn't feel real! 😭

This was my first Indy 500. And it’s the best one I’ve ever seen. All those red flags were worth that insane finish. And we’ll done to Josef Newgarden.

Cant say I'm a fan of the way they handled that last red flag. Happy for Newgarden though! Awesome to see him finally get a win in the 500. The rest of the race was pretty good too.
