The Race IndyCar Podcast delves into controversial crashes, a winner from a lap down with a broken car and Nashville’s place on the calendar with the divisive kind of racing it produces on this week’s episode.

Co-hosts Jack Benyon and JR Hildebrand analyse how Scott Dixon went from being hit and losing a significant chunk of his downforce to winning the Nashville race, and the context of how impressive that is given everything impacting the Chip Ganassi Racing team this year.

Hildebrand breaks down the Josef Newgarden/Romain Grosjean controversy from a driver’s eye, as the hosts also discuss how this incident may be a result of how IndyCar is policed week-to-week.

Some of the pros and cons of the race are also broken down in a bid to look at how good a Nashville IndyCar race is, because the exciting and unpredictable racing is offset by crashes, many cautions and some questionable driving standards.
