INDIANAPOLIS -- What would you do if all your dreams came true?
No, for real. If there was only one item left on the checklist of "Stuff I want to do when I grow up" that you scribbled onto a sheet of paper in your childhood bedroom, and you were able to finally cross that last one off, what would you do?
That's what happened to Josef Newgarden on a sunny, frantic, extended, exhausting Sunday afternoon at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The 32-year-old overcame a so-so month of May and a record three red flags to rocket around defending champion Marcus Ericsson as they approached the race's final two turns, then swerving and weaving to hold on to that lead and win the 107th Indianapolis 500.
