The Pit Straight: We Are so Back, the IndyCar Edition

The Month of May has begun, which can only mean one thing: We. Are. So. Back!

Who is “we?” Kyle Benjamin hosts Wyatt Watson, Michael Finley and Alex Gintz to look through the coming month of action as the NTT IndyCar Series rolls into Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the Sonsio Grand Prix, qualifying for the Indianapolis 500 and, finally, the 110th running of the Greatest Spectacle in Racing.

Does Alex Palou remain firmly in control of the standings through the Grand Prix? Who are the dark horses for the Indy 500? What else is in store for fans and drivers in the lead up to the best racing day of the year? These questions and more are on the menu for this week’s episode of “The Pit Straight.”

The Pit Straight is Frontstretch‘s open-wheel racing podcast, available during the racing season before Formula 1 and IndyCar races on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube and right here on the web.
