Newgarden
Oward
Dixon

 

[Retroram52]

I'll go with: Power, Newgarden, McLaughlin, Daly.

 

[Retroram52]

Power is behind Newgarden again. When Power wins the pole, he often has a difficult time winning a race from that position.

 

[Retroram52]

Jimmy Johnson is now a legitimate 5th in Iowa!!

 

[Retroram52]

135 laps left in this one.

 

[Retroram52]

Just two cars on the lead lap but pit stops will def change that.

 

[Retroram52]

Jimmie Johnson maintaining his top 10 place at 7th.
