IndyCar Road America results, points: Josef Newgarden remained the only multiple winner in the NTT IndyCar Series this season as the championship hunt significantly was jumbled for the third consecutive race.
With the victory Sunday in the Sonsio Grand Prix at Road America, Newgarden moved up two spots in the points standings to third. Road America runner-up Marcus Ericsson reclaimed the points lead that he first took after his Indy 500 victory.
With nine races remaining, Ericsson is 27 points ahead of Will Power, who fell out of the top spot by finishing 19th after contact with rookie Devlin DeFrancesco (who was penalized).
Pato O’Ward and Alex Palou also lost ground in the points after finishing in the last two spots Sunday at Road America as the only drivers unable to complete 55 laps.
