IndyCar’s morning after the night before as Dre Harrison and RJ O’Connell review their Streets of Detroit round, with a bonus bit of chat about IMSA’s Detroit Sprint Race the day before.
Given Detroit is their home ground, it was a rough day for Chevy as Alex Palou took his third pole position in a row, and despite some swings and roundabouts for strategy, held off Kyle Kirkwood at the end of the race to take his fourth win of 2026, and extending his Championship lead to 62 points. But how we got there involved another tough set of crashes for ECR, Santino Ferrucci in the wars again, and more clumsy driving around a really unforgiving layout.
Also included, a deep dive on IndyCar’s new caution rules being put to the test, how a more in jured Josef Newgarden than we thought was actively claiming to be benched for the race, and some industrial sized beef between former teammates Scott McLaughlin and Will Power, that somehow wasn’t penalised. Where did Dre put that beehive?
