The latest episode of The Race IndyCar Podcast takes a look at a bonkers Gateway round where driving standards were in the spotlight and Romain Grosjean made his oval debut.
Regular host and strong short oval driver JR Hildebrand is joined by The Race’s American Editor Jack Benyon, as the pair assess Scott Dixon’s claims that driving in 2021 has been “crazy and erratic” at times.
The race was littered with crashes and contact, one of which wiped out Dixon and erstwhile points leader Alex Palou. Hildebrand and Benyon assess the title picture after Pato O’Ward took over the lead with three races remaining.
Hildebrand breaks down the enormity of the task facing Grosjean with a driver's-eye view, particularly being impressed with Grosjean’s car control when the he made errors that could have put him in the wall.
