Indy 500 Champion Josef Newgarden With Wife Ashley Newgarden | Lunch With Lindsay

In the fourth episode of the “Lunch with Lindsay” #podcast, Lindsay Czarniak is taking her lunchtime conversation on the road! The Indy500 is the largest single-day sporting event in the world. Indycar drivers know, win this and your life is changed forever. This year, after an intense final few laps, it was Joseph Newgarden who won in his 12th attempt at this historic event. Lindsay was there to take it all in and sat down the day after with Josef and his wife Ashley. They talk about the emotion of the win, how they balance life and racing and the risk and pressures that come with that lifestyle. Also, the storybook tale of how these two met while Ashley was working as a Disney princess is priceless.

He (they) are a class act - SO Happy for them to win this event. Excellent ambassadors for the sport. Now, when is the next Bus Bros episode coming out?!?!?!🤣

[@fighterjetsteve]

What Josef Newgarden did at the end of the race was just a pure class act.

[@pablofmfdoc6143]

Such a good interview. Josef has always been kind to fan's, He was patient as I fumbled with my wife's camera to get a picture of her with her favorite driver. The story of how he and his wife met was so romantic!

[@bigstevesnostalgiadragraci4240]

As an old drag racer that has three grown kids and 42 years of a great marriage under my belt, this whole interview was such a breath of fresh air. This couple is a true family, and really have their act together and priorities straight!!!! Young couples need to emulate them, and this world would be in a whole lot better shape!!! God Bless this family!!!

Great interview Lindsay. Don't let what happened in race control take anything away from these kids. Josef did his job. He did nothing wrong! Bring back the trophy or the steering wheel. That's how it works at the Indy 500. As TK said, the track chooses the winner... and Ashley said something to that effect as well.

Couldn't have happened to a better guy than Josef!

[@racewest11]

Im halfway through. Damnit this is a good interview. I was not a fan of Josef before Indy and I'm still not but he's a great champ and he deserves a lot of respect. You've earned a subscription!

[@calebmiller4187]

Great interview. Really neat tidbit that Brian Simpson told Josef where the access point was to get into the stands.

[@williamlynd3052]

Great interview - To be honest, I've always had a hard time rooting for any Penske driver as they always seem to have an edge over the smaller teams, but Josef seems like a great guy and his lovely wife too - Congrats and I'm their newest fan.

[@GregBrownsWorldORacing]

I know what you mean about rooting for Penske drivers - But remember, he came from Sarah Fisher & Ed Carpenter's team. He did a great interview with Dale Jr. I recommend as well. He seems like this really nice Tennessee kid. His grandpa was some sort of Olympics level Ping Pong champion too.

@@GregBrownsWorldORacing The interview with Dale Jr is incredible. I think he and Scott McLaughlin are juste nice guys who are running for one of the best team so they are under the rooting of Penske drivers ..

[@ashroyer03]

Loved this interview. One of my favorites to date for IndyCar

[@genther6668]

Congratulations Josef

[@wf1g]

Thanks Lindsay.

[@boxterjeff]

Great questions!!!!!!! They are amazing!

[@Conecta705]

Ashley é afortunada. Ô muié sortuda. Com respeito, esse Josef Newgarden hein. Obs: Ela me lembra de aparência a Kate Middleton.

[@9rows]

9:12 - except it's not really an indy 500 tradition. it's a winston cup thing. i'll never understand why the indycar guys started doing it.

[@healthyone100]

LOOKS like he will be a great champion, i'm not a penske fan but a least an american won for a change!

[@Eastsider-F95]

Lindsay where you there for the Indy 500

[@americanopenwheelracing3596]

So....is his wife still chanting about baby killing......after she had one?
