Brett 'Crusher' Murray was on the ground in Portland for the penultimate round of the IndyCar championship at the weekend, witnessing not only Scott McLaughlin's third win of the year but also an Antipodean 1-2-3 sweep of the podium too. Crush dials in from Stateside to give us an insight on the incredible weekend and the unfolding IndyCar title battle, decided this weekend in California.

Then we look ahead to Pukekohe's final fling this weekend, discuss all things New Zealand and see if we can agree that someone can beat Shane van Gisbergen (spoilers: They won't).

It's all capped off by another tasty edition of the Doric Power Rankings with our weekly HOTs and NOTs of the week that was.
