NEWTON, Iowa — Josef Newgarden's recent run of success at Iowa Speedway might have been buried under the partial repaving the .875-mile oval underwent in the spring. It's why Newgarden thinks this weekend's IndyCar Series doubleheader is "to be determined." The repaving in the turns occurred in May in preparation for the NASCAR Cup Series debut at the track in June. A second racing line developed during that race, but whether it can develop in the 250-lap races Saturday night and Sunday remained to be seen. Scott McLaughlin, Newgarden's Team Penske teammate, had the fastest lap of Friday's practice at 185.891 mph.
