NTT IndyCar Series 2022 - Sonsio Grand Prix

Road America is the next stop of the 2022 NTT IndyCar Series with the Sonsio Grand Prix.

Alexander Rossi leads the grid to the starting line as the green flag waved, kicking off the action in Wisconsin...until Jimmie Johnson stormed into trouble while approaching Turn 3, won't start, and became the first to quit the race. Lap 4 saw Alex Palou go off course and out of the race. As the race continues the escalate, Lap 8 saw Will Power get pushed out by Di Francesco and crash.  With 8 laps left, Pato O'Ward is experiencing engine failures, triggering the fourth caution of the race.

After all of the chaos in Road America, Josef Newgarden wins the Sonsio Grand Prix while Marcus Ericsson finished 2nd and Alexander Rossi finished 3rd. Newgarden conquered all three IndyCar race disciplines this season to win $1 million in the People Ready Force for Good Challenge with half of his winnings proceeding to charity.

After Road America, Ericsson remains in the lead with 293 points while Will Power remains 2nd with 266 points and Newgarden's in 3rd place with 261 points.

The next race will be the Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio this July 3rd, 2022.
