O’ward moves to top of Indycar standings

The Indycar championship flipped leaders Saturday night when Alex Palou was collected in an early three-car accident that moved Pato O’ward to the top of the season standings after a runner-up finish to Josef Newgarden at World Wide Technology Raceway in Madison, Illinois.

Newgarden won for the second time this season and beat O’ward by 0.5397 seconds.

The 22-year-old O’ward claimed the points lead for the second time this season. He was 52 points behind Palou two races ago, but Palou’s engine failure last week sliced it to 21 headed into Saturday.
