Derik Vance from Push to Pass joins The Balance for a loaded Thursday Evening Drop as he officially helps steer our IndyCar coverage through the rest of the season. Tom Marquis and Derek break down one of the busiest weeks in the paddock: Christian Lundgaard’s stunning Road America comeback win and whether he’s becoming the new performance face of Arrow McLaren, Felix Rosenqvist’s decision to leave Meyer Shank Racing after winning the Indianapolis 500, Marcus Armstrong’s heartbreak and growing breakout status, and what Mid-Ohio testing could mean for the championship race.The guys also dig into Graham Rahal’s pointed comments about crime in Indianapolis, whether his message had merit even if the delivery lit up social media, and how it all fits into the bigger conversation around the city, the series, and the personalities driving the sport. Add in Will Power, Rahal, Palou, the championship chase, and the second-half pressure building across the paddock, and this one has a little bit of everything for IndyCar fans.
