NTT IndyCar Series 2019 - Bommarito Automotive Group 500

After all the nightmare at Pocono last week, the 2019 NTT IndyCar Series continued at World Wide Technology Raceway at Madison, Illinois, for the Bommarito Automotive Group 500 where it's not all "Saturday night's alright" for the elite IndyCar drivers as all of the action and all of the drama rolled into one night to remember.

From intense saves, close-quarter fights, and some troubles in store from this race such as Marcus Ericsson facing mechanical troubles but soldier on, Will Power out at Lap 54 when he collided with the wall, pit delays, and Sebastian Bourdais got spun out of commission, this race really is a Saturday night fight worth remembering, especially at the end game where Takuma Sato won by a very few inches behind Ed Carpenter as well as the disaster current season leader Josef Newgarden didn't see it coming when he got spun out at the final corner.

After the night out at Illinois, Newgarden, following his last lap disaster, dropped his gap by 38 points ahead of Simon Pagenaud, 563 vs. 525. Alexander Rossi, meanwhile, is in 3rd with 517 points.

Next race is the Grand Prix at Portland, happening at the Portland International Raceway on the 1st of September.
