Josh and Sam are back to discuss a busy week in racing starting with Max Verstappen’s win in the wet at the Canadian Grand Prix (0:15), if Verstappen has taken complete control of the title fight, Mercedes resurgent weekend, Ferrari’s Canadian GP struggles, Perez’s horrific weekend after his contract extension earlier in the week, and Yuki Tsunoda’s contract extension with VCARB. Next we touch on Kyle Larson’s win in wine country (29:26) and if Larson is now the championship favorite, where Sonoma ranks among NASCAR road courses, if road course races should have stage breaks, and our personal top three performers from Sonoma. Then we head to Road America to break down Will Power’s first win in two years to take the lead in the championship (43:12), Chip Ganassi Racing’s disastrous day after starting on pole, and if Road America is the best road course in IndyCar. Finally(), we make our predictions for NASCAR’s first trip to Iowa in the Cup Series and the best 24 hours in sports car racing at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Thanks for listening!
