🗣 'If you do that to someone, I'm going to fence you the next time I see you' 🫵 Josef Newgarden won Saturday's IndyCar race at Iowa but was livid with drivers weaving and blocking as he came up to lap them, and says he won't stand for it in future ⬇️
Despite his win, Newgarden was visibly agitated after getting out of his car, and was caught on TV swearing to team-mate“I love Iowa, obviously It was a great day,” said Newgarden. “It’s tough in IndyCar, these guys that are about to go a lap down, they always run the leader really hard. And that’s the name of the game, it’s legal but, man, it’s a little frustrating at times.
He later elaborated: “I think, the way the rule was written, it's legal for them to fight to the death to stay on the lead lap in front of the leader. It is legal. I'm just telling you you're not making any friends when you do it. “Like there's just a point where you've got to understand that that comes back around. If you do that to someone, I'm going to fence you the next time I see you. If you're the leader the next time, I am going to do you so dirty if you did that to me.”McLaughlin, who finished 3.3s behind his team-mate today, having closed right up in traffic in the final stint, heaped praise on Newgarden after the race.
