IndyCar is off for another month following Sunday’s race at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. What is remaining on the schedule?

Team Penske’s Josef Newgarden finally capitalized on a dominant race weekend to secure his first win of the 2021 IndyCar season at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course this past Sunday afternoon.

Newgarden delivered Team Penske their first win in 10 races this season, ending their longest drought to start a season since they went completely winless in the 20-race 1999 CART season.
