In this episode of The Inside Line, Nathan Brown and Joey Barnes discuss the ins and outs of IndyCar’s weekend at The Thermal Club, starting with how Alex Palou and Chip Ganassi Racing turned in another race-winning performance and how tire deg and strategy played such a big role in IndyCar’s first points-paying race at the track. Later, the pair discuss the fallout from IndyCar’s lackluster TV rating and try to dive into why the series saw such a drop-off in audience, what could’ve been done to combat the low level of interest around Thermal and where IndyCar goes from here as it targets and prioritizes growth this spring and this year with Fox.
