TEAM CHEVY POST QUALIFYING VERIZON P1 AWARD WINNER QUICK QUOTE
JUNE 8, 2018

JOSEF NEWGARDEN, NO. 1 VERIZON TEAM PENSKE CHEVROLET, pole winner quick quote. It is the second Verizon P1 Award of the 2018 season for the defending Verizon IndyCar Series Champion, his first at Texas Motor Speedway and the fourth of his career.

“I was worried about Will (Power, Team Penske teammate). I’ve been picked by him before at the last minute; that is how the qualifying draw goes…and…he is good. Will knows how to put a good lap together, but he might have had a little blip on his first lap. So, it might have been really, really close if he didn’t have that.

“But obviously, it is a day for Team Penske. We aren’t going to be dissatisfied with our 1 – 2 – 3 regardless of the order. Obviously I’m really happy for being first, but I think the team is satisfied with that. But now we have to put our heads down, work hard in practice tonight and try to win this race.
