In this week’s edition of ‘The Inside Line’, IndyStar motorsports reporter Nathan Brown and his co-host Joey Barnes dissect Alex Palou’s fourth victory in five starts in the 2025 IndyCar season on the IMS road course. The pair talk through the impact of IndyCar’s new tire rules and how they both shook up the field and how they might impact races beyond the Sonsio Grand Prix if they’re adopted. Then, Nathan and Joey shift into a breakdown of what they’re watching as Indy 500 practice gets underway on Tuesday and list the teams and drivers they think are in most need of a pick-me-up from the everything the 500 and the lead-up to it offer in looking at the rest of the season and the various history on the line in the 109th Indy 500.
