As part of a new partnership between PeopleReady and INDYCAR, a driver and race team winning a race on all three types of circuits during the 2022 NTT INDYCAR® SERIES will be able to win $1 million for themselves and a charity through the new PeopleReady Force for Good Challenge.
About the Challenge
The first driver who wins at least once this season on a road course, street circuit and oval will share $500,000 with their team and donate $500,000 to that driver and team’s chosen charity.
PeopleReady is offering an additional $10,000 to the winner of each of the 17 races during the 2022 NTT INDYCAR SERIES, also to be split with their selected charity. Keep track of all the race winners on the season leaderboard!
Josef Newgarden Wins the PeopleReady Force for Good Challenge Grand Prize
Team Penske’s Josef Newgarden will split the $1 million prize with his chosen charities: SeriousFun Children’s Network and Wags and Walks of Nashville.
“I am humbled to represent Team Penske as this year’s PeopleReady Force for Good champion, and I thank PeopleReady and INDYCAR for the opportunity to not only share this generous prize with my amazing team, but also to give back to two causes I am truly passionate about,” said Newgarden.
