Welcome to IndyCar’s post-500 Hangover, as the series headed to the streets of Detroit, and where Kyle Kirkwood dominated the streets to take his second win of 2025, and making it so IndyCar’s only had two winners in seven races for the first time since Champ Car’s Sebastien Bourdais and AJ Allmendinger did it in 2006.

The big news? Alex Palou put in the wall by David Malukas to reduce the Spaniard’s title lead to a mere…90 points. Dre, Cam and RJ breakdown that, as well as Kirkwood’s dominance, the variance in strategy, and the glaze in the air as Santino Ferrucci went off-sequence to pick up his best ever result in the series, a second place finish. 

Also on the bill, Penske’s beef as Scott McLaughlin took out Nolan Siegel, leading to his biggest endorser Tony Kanaan to exchange barbs on Twitter, and a huge wreck between Felix Rosenqvist and Louis Foster, with the latter having a suspension fail at 185mph down the main straight in a terrifying wreck. And finally, a look-in at Indy NXT, with Dennis Hauger dominating the series so far.
