LEBANON, Tenn. (AP) — Back-to-back Indianapolis 500 champion Josef Newgarden has a driving dream he still harbors, even knowing that challenges with schedules and sponsors make it likely impossible to ever achieve.
Newgarden not only wants to drive a stock car someday, he wants to do The Double.
Yes, the Indianapolis 500 followed by a quick flight to Charlotte, North Carolina, for the Coca-Cola 600, which Kyle Larson was the latest to try in May, only to be foiled by weather. That's not stopping Newgarden from hoping to add his name to the exclusive list of those who've tried.
How? Win more Indy 500s.
