This Sunday (June 21), the NTT IndyCar Series heads to one of the most historic and scenic tracks on the schedule in the form of Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin’s Road America.
Road America’s beauty aside, there’s plenty to sort through.
Is this still Alex Palou’s championship to lose, and if so, who is actually his biggest threat? Is this where Penske proves its recent surge is real? Does David Malukas need a win to validate his first season in Penske equipment? What do boost limits mean for the racing? Plus, we’re talking Linus Lundqvist and, because it’s Road America, ranking the most important part of the weekend: the track food.
