Josef Newgarden Beats Teammate Will Power in Pit-Stop Challenge After Tough Week for Team Penske
- Josef Newgarden and his Team Penske crew won the 2025 Pit Stop Challenge, defeating teammate Will Power in the final for $150,000 and bragging rights.
- Their success followed a difficult week marked by the Penske attenuator controversy that penalized both drivers to the back of the Indianapolis 500 field and led to three executive firings.
- Newgarden’s team posted a 10.263-second pit stop in the third round and overcame Pato O’Ward, whom Newgarden previously beat at last year's Indy 500, before facing Power in the final.
- Newgarden described the pit crew as "unsung heroes" who face danger each time the car pulls in for a stop while vehicles zoom by at 60 mph.
- Starting from 32nd position due to a penalty, Newgarden hopes to make history by capturing an unprecedented third straight Indy 500 victory, relying on his fast pit crew to help him move up through the field.
