Josef Newgarden’s incredible Long Beach win and whether Colton Herta can rebound from another street course error are the big talking points on this episode of The Race IndyCar Podcast.
Newgarden took a second consecutive win despite Romain Grosjean’s charge to the finish, and the ex-Formula 1 man’s street course adaptation and performance with new team Andretti Autosport is also evaluated.
Reigning champion Alex Palou also fought for the win and narrowly missed out, and his absence from the headlines despite a strong start to the season is debated by hosts Jack Benyon and California native JR Hildebrand.
Hildebrand brings some colour from the paddock including on what makes Long Beach the storied and atmospheric event it is, and also gives insight into ace rookie Kyle Kirkwood’s start as he took a top 10 last weekend.
And the hosting duo look at how Herta might rebound – after another unforced error at a street course following Nashville last year – to get back on track and avoid any mental toil.
