**NASHVILLE, Tenn.** – Josef Newgarden is gearing up for the 109th Indianapolis 500 on Sunday, May 25, with the chance to make history as the first driver to ever win three consecutive races.

While the pressure mounts, Newgarden finds solace and support in his family life in Nashville, Tennessee. 13 WTHR’s Dave Calabro recently visited Newgarden’s home, offering a glimpse into the life of the IndyCar star with his wife, Ashley, and their three-year-old son, Koda.

“It blows my mind to see what we achieved,” Newgarden said, reflecting on his past two victories. He showed Calabro his home, including his workout room, garage filled with sports cars, and a “man cave” filled with trophies, including the coveted “baby Borg-Warners.”

While Newgarden acknowledges the lure of a historic three-peat, he emphasizes his primary focus. “I definitely want to win the race again. That’s not what I think about. Of course, it would be amazing, and no one’s done it, but I just want to win,” he stated.

Newgarden’s success has brought fame and opportunities, including a visit to the White House, and the perception of him becoming the face of IndyCar. “I take it seriously. I really do. I care about the Indy 500. I care about the community of Indiana.”

Ashley Newgarden emphasized that despite his achievements, he remains grounded. “The only thing that man cares about is now Koda and racing. That has never changed, even with success.”

As Newgarden prepares for the Indy 500, his family will be there to cheer him on. His son Koda has high expectations, declaring, “Daddy’s race car was the fastest.”
