Newgarden owns Iowa Speedway, and proved it again by sweeping both races this weekend, l⛄eading 341 of the 500 laps.
Will Power: 10
He still hasn't won at Iowa, but he has now won the last four poles at the track, and finished runner-up 🉐to his teammate today.
Alex Palou: 9
The championship leader continues to impress, finishing 8th and 3♚rd on a short oval, which had been viewဣed as his only weakness.
Felix Rosenqvist: 8
A late 🍃caution flag presented an opportunity, but he simply didn't have the pace (or the tires) to compete fo💫r the win.
Scott McLaughlin: 8
He led laps and battled with his two teammates for the lead all weekend🤡, but couldn't seal the deal for 🦋his first oval win.
Scott Dixon: 7
Two 6th place finishes made for a typical slow-and-stea😼dy weekend for Dixon.
Colton Herta: 6
After a horrendous Saturday, Herta and his team rebounded for a 🎐solid 7th place finish on Sunday.
David Malukas: 7
Like 💖Herta, Malukas performed much better today to salvage the ov🌳erall weekend.
Marcus Ericsson: 8
Ericsson seemed to haᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚve the p🌜ace to keep up with the Penske cars at times, but he couldn't capitalize at the end of the races.
Pato O'Ward: 7
A podium finish and a top-ten result made for a decent weeke𒈔nd for O'Ward, but he and the McLaren 🥀team remain winless with just five races to go.

Kyle Kirkwood: 7
It wasn't a great weekend for Kirkwood, but the bad luck at l🍸💙east stayed away from his No. 27 team.
Romain Grosjean: 6
A pair of top-12 finishes didn't impress anyone, but Grosjean at least stayed out of trouble and was able to finish both races, which is a major p🔥ositive for his future.
Christian Lundgaard: 5
Tꦫhe race winner from last weekend was nowhere to be found this weekend, in either race.
Callum Ilott: 6
It was an average day for Ilott and his Juncos Hollinger Racing team, as they try to tඣurn their season around.
Alexander Rossi: 6
Expectations were much higher for Rossi than his🔴 10th and 15th place results.
Helio Castroneves: 6
Overall it was a decent weekend for t🌞he four-time Indy 500 winner, in 🧜what is likely his final full season.
Conor Daly: 6

Rinus VeeKay: 5
Another poor weekend for VeeKay and the E𒁏d Carpenter Racing team.
Jack Harvey: 5
This may have been Harvey's last race weekend, as his miserable ❀tenure at RLL Racing continued.

Devlin DeFrancesco: 5
He was never a factor in 🌊either race this weekend.

Considering his talent on ovals, it was a disappointing week🌳end for Ferrucci and 𒅌the AJ Foyt Racing team.

Ryan Hunter-Reay: 4
