A third Alex Palou win in four races, a win slipping away for Colton Herta, and shenanigans with a sewage truck - they're just three of the topics discussed by hosts Jack Benyon and JR Hildebrand in our Road America review episode of The Race IndyCar Podcast.

The hosting duo assess Palou’s rivals' claims that not much has gone wrong for the Spaniard this season, and that he’s still catchable in the title race, while Jack explains his theory as to why Palou’s success could prove a distraction when it comes to Chip Ganassi’s driver market moves.

Herta’s disappointing final race stint is also discussed, as Jack asks if this is a time to celebrate Herta’s return to form rather than over-analysing why the win slipped away from him.

JR gets a few things off his chest as he talks about why IndyCar needs to move to 1000bhp cars, before the guys get into the matter of the crash and shoving match between Will Power and Scott Dixon, after their big coming together in practice.
