"...they never give me any credit."

LOS ANGELES—Newgarden's Push-to-Pass Button has come forward with a shocking tell-all interview, revealing the behind-the-scenes dynamics of Team Penske and Josef Newgarden's success on the track. The button, affectionately referred to as Mr. Push, shared his experiences and frustrations about the lack of recognition and the burden of carrying the team.

Interviewer: Hello Mr. Push, can I call you that?

Newgarden's Push-to-Pass Button: Of course, just don't call me slow!

Interviewer: Sounds good, Mr. Push. How are you feeling?

Mr. Push: Honestly, pretty tired.

Interviewer: Why is that?

Mr. Push: From having to carry Penske and Newgarden for the last few years.

Interviewer: Has it really been you this whole time?

Mr. Push: Of course, they never give me any credit. They finally gave me credit for St. Pete but they didn't give me the trophy.

Interviewer: Is that why you're here today?Recognition?

Mr. Push: Absolutely, I'm tired of living under Newgarden's thumb never getting the credit I deserve. I wanted to run into the grandstands after the Indy 500.

Interviewer: That is completely understandable.How far back does your involvement in his races go?

Mr. Push: Oh man, I can't even remember but we're definitely going back at least a couple years.

Interviewer: How did it all begin?

Mr. Push: To be honest, I don't have too many memories on why it began because I wasn't hooked up but I do remember overhearing Newgarden say, "There goes Pato again, how is he doing it? I'm so happy we got this P2P trick figured out."

Interviewer: A trick figured out? Had this been attempted before?

Mr. Push: Actually yeah, my uncle was the first attempt. May he rest in peace.

Interviewer: What happened if you don't mind me asking?

Mr. Push: Simply put, Newgarden was excited at the prospect of winning every race and pushed too hard. That was it.

Interviewer: I'm so sorry.

Mr. Push: Oh no it's all good now. I really just need to be on that podium. I WANT THE MILK.

Interviewer: Do you know if Newgarden knows the rules?

Mr. Push: Oh of course, he's always reading that thing while he whispers, "No starts or restarts my ass."

Interviewer: Do you think what you're doing is ok?

Mr. Push: I'm just a button, I can't push myself.

Interviewer: Wouldn't that mean you don't deserve recognition?

Mr. Push: You're working for him aren't you?Bring him out! Bring Newgarden out! That guy always finds a way to keep me under his thumb.

Interviewer: No no no, I'm just saying. Without his push nothing happens.

Mr. Push: Ok yeah, but he cheats and I assist.

Interviewer: OK, any last words?

Mr. Push: Pato, if you're reading this, I can help out mannnn.

This revealing interview sheds light on the often overlooked yet crucial role Mr. Push plays in Newgarden's racing success. It also highlights the intense pressure and lack of acknowledgment faced by the essential yet underappreciated components of Josef Newgarden's racing.
