The late Toby Keith had to be smiling at what he saw at Road America on Sunday (June 22) afternoon.
In his Solo-sponsored, red No. 10 Honda, Alex Palou saved just enough gas at Road America to continue an impressive 2025 season in the NTT IndyCar Series with his sixth win of the season. Wyatt Watson hosts The Pit Straight with guests Tom Blackburn and Christopher DeHarde to dive into how Palou outlasted teammate and master of strategy Scott Dixon in the closing laps.
The trio review another abysmal day for Team Penske and start to wonder if both David Malukas and Santino Ferrucci are serious contenders to step up to the team after a double top 10 for the AJ Foyt Racing drivers.
The crew also shares their review of the overall racing in the hot conditions from Sunday afternoon’s race and their expectations for the upcoming film, F1.
