FORT WORTH, Texas -- Pato O'Ward passed Josef Newgarden with 23 laps to go Sunday at Texas, and the Mexican-born driver stayed in front for his first IndyCar victory at what he considers his home track.
O'Ward celebrated four days before his 22nd birthday while driving for Arrow McLaren SP, and the organization will follow through with a promise to let him test a Formula One car at the end of the year.
The race was the second in as many days at Texas, and was marred by the IndyCar's second first-lap crash of the season.
