Tonight on Trackside, Kevin Lee and Curt Cavin look back on the wild and unpredictable Grand Prix of Portland, in which Alex Palou earned his third win of the season and regained the lead in the point standings. The guys discuss the first lap incident where Palou was shuffled back to 16th and the confusion surrounding the reordering of the field after the first turn caution. They also debate what changes IndyCar could make to the start at Portland, which has seen a number of lap one incidents over the years. They break down Pato O’Ward’s speed issues from Portland and the potential for his team to switch an engine for the final two races of the season.

Later in the show, Kevin and Curt look at the championship implications with two races to go, as Palou leads O’Ward by 25 points. Finally a preview for the potential 2022 IndyCar and NASCAR schedules, which are both expected to be released soon. They also look at the newest Silly Season rumors and news, including where Ryan Hunter-Reay could end up next season.
