The race started on schedule with Josef Newgarden taking the lead from Pagenaud and leading the first 50 laps. As pit stops began to cycle through, the lead would shuffle to Pagenaud, then to Max Chilton, and then Alexander Rossi, before Newgarden returned to the lead. The race saw its first yellow flag when defending winner Ryan Hunter-Reay suffered an engine failure on lap 108 and came to a halt on track. The caution flag ended Newgarden's chance to lap the field, as many previously lapped cars were waved around to the tail end of the lead lap. The race restarted on lap 128, where Newgarden once again began to pull away from the field. Caution flew once more on lap 179, when Juan Pablo Montoya suffered an engine failure and, like Hunter-Reay, came to a stop on course. The race returned to green flag racing on lap 188. The third and final caution came for a spin by Max Chilton in turn 2 on lap 246, which bunched the field up for a 40 lap sprint to the end. Newgarden, however, was still untouchable and cruised away to win by over four seconds over Will Power, despite suffering a broken wrist the previous weekend at Texas Motor Speedway. Only five cars remained on the lead lap by the time the checkered flag fell.Injured Newgarden dominates Iowa with record run http://www.motorsport.com/indycar/news/injured-newgarden-dominates-iowa-with-record-run-797714/?s=1&r=82530&em=1 David Malsher July 11, 2016 July 24, 2016 Motorsport.com Motorsport Network, LLC.INDYCAR: Newgarden dominates in Iowa http://www.racer.com/indycar/item/131886-indycar-newgarden-dominates-in-iowa Robin Miller July 10, 2016 July 24, 2016 Racer.com Racer Media & Marketing, Inc. https://web.archive.org/web/20160714153013/http://www.racer.com/indycar/item/131886-indycar-newgarden-dominates-in-iowa July 14, 2016 dead Newgarden's 282 laps led set a record for most laps led in a Verizon IndyCar Series race.Newgarden wins Iowa Corn 300 in record-setting fashion http://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/sports/2016/07/10/newgarden-wins-iowa-corn-300-record-setting-fashion/86924178/ Andrew Louge July 10, 2016 July 24, 2016 The Des Moines Register Gannett Company Newton, Iowa His victory also moved him up to second place in the championship, making him a serious contender to take victory.
