The Race IndyCar Podcast delivers its annual top 10 drivers of the season at the championship’s mid-way point, with one enormous twist.This year co-hosts Jack Benyon of The Race and Indy 500 regular JR Hildebrand have gone for a top 11 to reflect the foregone conclusion of runaway championship leader Alex Palou being the most obvious number one in racing ranking history.The co-hosts pick their top 11 of the season - or their top 10 without Palou, if you prefer - and then an average of the two is taken, with tie-breaks being decided by number of wins.Among the biggest surprises are the co-hosts picking different 'number 1s' behind Palou, putting Pato O’Ward four-places apart in their rankings, and also managing to place a driver who is behind Marcus Ericsson in the points standings ahead of him in their rankings.You can also contact the show via [email protected] where you can send written or voice note questions for the hosts, request special guests and tell us more of what you want to hear.NOTE: This episode was recorded before Simon Pagenaud was ruled out of racing in Toronto.Follow The Race on Instagram, Twitter and FacebookCheck out our latest videos on YouTubeDownload our app on iOS or AndroidRight now, you can get $50 off your purchase of $500 or more with code THERACE at bluenile.com Hosted on Acast.
