This week’s The Race IndyCar Podcast examines the latest in the Alex Palou saga, as McLaren and Ganassi continue to fight over his services in 2023, and provides reaction to Scott Dixon’s composed Toronto victory - a win which gets his season back on track.Coming into the weekend, Dixon had finished in the top 10 in all but one race this year but it wasn't until Sunday that he finally reached the top step of the podium again, capturing the 52nd victory of his career to equal Mario Andretti on the all-time list. Hosts Jack Benyon and JR Hildebrand discuss the New Zealander's topsy turvy season to date and what this victory will do for him going forwards.Colton Herta’s fresh start is also assessed as he delivered a second-place in the kind of scenario he’s lost out before through mistakes, while Graham Rahal, David Malukas and Callum Ilott are also discussed after interesting weekends.And of course there's plenty of chat about Alex Palou, including reaction to the Spaniard's pre-race comments on his contract situation, plus debut IndyCar podium finisher Felix Rosenqvist’s comments after the race that Palou may not even race next year.And finally, Jack and JR reflect on the previous episode which ranked the top 10 drivers of the first half of the season.Follow The Race on Instagram, Twitter and FacebookCheck out our latest videos on YouTubeFor IndyCar news, analysis and must-read features visit the-race.com Hosted on Acast.
