NTT IndyCar Series 2023 - Hy-Vee Homefront 250

Iowa is the next stop for the NTT IndyCar Series 2023 with the Hy-Vee Homefront 250, the first of the two-part Iowa Speedway action.

As the green flag waved, the first part of the Iowa action begins as Will Power stormed his way to the lead, until he went to the pits on Lap 62 alongside Scott McLaughlin and Josef Newgarden, among others. Come Lap 108, McLaughlin takes the heat while Will Power and Josef Newgarden fence at each other for the lead. Come Lap 121, Newgarden snatched Power's lead. In Lap 155, Graham Rahal is out of the race following damage to the steering. Lap 167 saw Pato O'Ward surging his way to the podium thanks to some fresh new tires. With 41 laps to go, there's been some trouble at the pits as Benjamin Pedersen and Devlin DeFrancesco collided with each other.
