Ryan Hunter-Reay wins IndyCar race at Iowa Speedway

Ryan Hunter-Reay raced to his third IndyCar victory at Iowa Speedway in the last four years Saturday night. Hunter-Reay held off the field on a late restart to give Andretti Autosport its sixth consecutive win on the 0.894-mile oval at Newton, Iowa, and its seventh in nine series races at the track. The American hadn’t finished higher than fifth all season. Josef Newgarden was second and rookie Sage Karam was a career-best third, giving American drivers a sweep of the podium. Points leader Juan Pablo Montoya’s night lasted just nine laps after his No. 2 Penske car flew into the wall. Scott Dixon, who entered the race in second, failed to capitalize on Montoya’s misfortune. He finished 18th.
