As much as I like Herta, it appeared Newgarden had some pace to catch Dixon and Herta did not. Of course, there was no guarantee Newgarden would catch Dixon, but, still, when Josef wants to turn it on, he is probably the fastest man on the track.

Herta is pretty frustrating. He has days where he is the fastest guy on the track, but he makes too many mistakes. I can think of at least two times in the last 2-3 years where he was the fastest guy that day, but crashed out with unforced errors: Nashville and Long Beach (that time when he crashed at the end of the back straight on a pit-in lap). Herta bumping Newgarden was a mistake that Dixon would never do. I don't know why Michael Andretti is so intent on getting him to F1. I think the pressure will eat him alive.

He still has time to grow. He's only 24. After all, Newgarden didn't win his first IndyCar title until his sixth full-time season.
