Sorry this ended up more than a week off, been mad busy with the day job (Dre speaking), but here’s a review of our Double Header from Iowa over in IndyCar.
And it as a weekend centered around Josef Newgarden, in every sense. In an alternate universe, he probably wins both races as the clear class of field. But in a classic Penske in 2025 moment, he ends up with neither. In Race 1, Pato O’Ward overcuts him to get in front and stay there to win. And in Race 2, two awfully timed cautions boxed Newgarden into the midfield where he had to climb back out of, and could only manage 10th… WAIT, they let Alex Palou win on a short oval now too?
Speaking of Newgarden, there’s also a conversation around the idea that the hate he’s getting from around IndyCar has gone too far. With FOX mocking him for not talking after sessions and interviews, to other journos looking for a pound of flesh, has the series drank too much of the haterade?
All that and more on another M101!
