Indy 500 champ Josef Newgarden would 'love to drive a NASCAR Cup car'

Newgarden, a native of Hendersonville, Tenn., was a guest at Sunday’s NASCAR Cup race at Nashville Superspeedway and the back-to-back Indianapolis 500 champion reiterated his desire to one day drive in NASCAR. “I’m a Nashville guy. I was born and raised here. I used to come to events out here as a kid,” the two-time IndyCar series champion said. “So yeah, I’m excited that we’re going to run our season finale here in IndyCar in a couple of months’ time in September.

” “I’ve been able to branch out a little bit this year running the Daytona 24 which was a really big treat for me,” he said. “I’m just slowly trying to introduce the opportunities to do other stuff, but it’s tough. “I mean it’s a real battle. You know, I have a job on the IndyCar side I’ve got to make sure we’re continuing to do for our partners for our team. That’s number one for me, but if we can keep delivering results, then we can add a couple more things which would be great.
