In the realm of IndyCar, two significant stories have emerged that have captured the attention of racing enthusiasts. Jack Benyon and co-host JR Hildebrand delve into the scandal that rocked the series last week, involving Josef Newgarden and Scott McLaughlin of Penske. The duo was disqualified from the season opener due to the illicit use of push to pass. Offering their perspectives, Benyon and Hildebrand analyze how McLaughlin managed to bounce back and secure the victory at Barber last weekend. At one point, it seemed like his commanding lead would slip away, but he prevailed in the end.
Another topic of discussion revolves around David Malukas’ departure from Arrow McLaren. The circumstances surrounding his exit remain shrouded in mystery as he never got the chance to compete in a race. Additionally, no information has been released regarding his recovery timeline after a hand injury. The handling of this situation and what lies ahead for Malukas and McLaren are explored in detail.
Furthermore, the podcast delves into McLaren’s challenging start to this year, contrasting it with the success of their former driver, Felix Rosenqvist, who has achieved top-ten finishes in every race for Meyer Shank. Surprisingly, Rosenqvist currently outperforms Pato O’Ward in the championship standings. The discussion also highlights the impressive performance of Colton Herta, who has taken an early lead in the points tally, showcasing his revitalized form.
