About Josef
Josef Newgarden is a two-time IndyCar Series champion and back-to-back Indianapolis 500 winner who has anchored Team Penske since 2017. The Tennessee native broke through with Ed Carpenter Racing in 2015, taking a maiden win at Barber, before Roger Penske signed him to replace Juan Pablo Montoya the following season.
His 2017 and 2019 championships established him as the modern Penske benchmark, but it was his 2023 and 2024 Indy 500 victories — the first back-to-back wins by an American since Hélio Castroneves — that cemented his place in the sport's lore. Known for surgical late-race aggression and a relentless work ethic, Newgarden has become the face of American open-wheel racing in an era dominated by international talent.
