Pato O’Ward charges to win, dedicates it to injured teammate

DETROIT (AP) — Pato O’Ward has become IndyCar’s first repeat winner of the season by charging through the field on a final restart to snatch the victory away from Josef Newgarden at the Raceway at Belle Isle Park. O’Ward drove from fifth to first in five laps to win his second race of the season. O’Ward dedicated the win to Arrow McLaren SP teammate Felix Rosenqvist, who was hospitalized overnight following his crash in Saturday’s first race of the doubleheader. Newgarden finished second after leading 67 of the 70 laps. Alex Palou was third but lost the points lead to O’Ward.
