Josef Newgarden secured his fifth victory at World Wide Technology Raceway, navigating a chaotic race marred by a controversial restart that caused a multi-car crash involving teammate Will Power. Power blamed Newgarden for inconsistent speeds before the green flag, which led to the collision. Despite the fracas, Newgarden's win, his second of the season, bolstered his standing and extended Alex Palou's championship lead. Meanwhile, Front Row Motorsports has grown from a modest part-time NASCAR team to a strong contender, with Michael McDowell and Todd Gilliland leading the charge into the 2024 season. Despite McDowell's upcoming move to Spire Motorsports in 2025, the team remains confident with Gilliland and new addition Noah Gragson.
