Reigning Indianapolis 500 champion Newgarden triumphed alongside Dane Cameron, Matt Campbell and Felipe Nasr in America's biggest sportscar race last weekend in only his second start in Porsche Penske Motorsport's 963 LMDh prototype.
He will now focus on trying to win a third IndyCar Series title for Roger Penske's team, but has made it clear that he'd love to race at Le Mans in the future.
"Yeah, I don't think [victory at Daytona] hurts," said Newgarden of his Le Mans hopes. "I don't know that I've earned a spot yet, but absolutely I would love that.
"I'm a race car driver. I would like to compete everywhere just like the guys next to me. They're eager to sign up and be a part of a programme.
"This is probably one of the coolest programmes in the world that you can be a part of. But yeah, one day Le Mans would be amazing to take a trek over and try and win."
Newgarden was humble over the role he played in the team, alongside full-season drivers Cameron and Nasr, plus Campbell – who moves from this car to a full-time World Endurance Championship drive this year.
