The latest on Newgarden after his big Iowa crash + Palou sued by Ganassi

Josef Newgarden's rollercoaster win and crash, Alex Palou being sued by Ganassi and who is the best racer in the IndyCar Series? These are all topics investigated by The Race IndyCar Podcast this week.

After a double-header weekend in Iowa, co-host JR Hildebrand outlines the procedure drivers have to go through to return to action after race one winner Newgarden crashed out heavily from the second race. JR and co-host Jack Benyon also bring listeners up to date on the factors determining whether Newgarden will be fit to race in Indianapolis this weekend - and what Penske will do if he can’t.

As the Alex Palou saga rumbles on, Benyon delivers the breaking news that the Spaniard is being sued by his current team Chip Ganassi Racing, before he and JR discuss what might happen next, including who could drive the number 10 car in 2023.

Palou's Ganassi team-mates are also discussed after Jimmie Johnson delivered one of his best and most exciting IndyCar weekends yet and Will Power declared Marcus Ericsson 'the best racer' in the IndyCar series.

And finally, the hosting duo discuss mid-western supermarket chain Hy-Vee’s enormous impact on the Iowa Speedway, with the race track hosting concerts from Gwen Stefani, Blake Shelton and others alongside the racing action.
