The Inside Line IndyCar Podcast: Patient winners, Josef Newgarden's tough weekend and dismal attendance, TV numbers at Iowa
IndyStar motorsports insider Nathan Brown an co-host Joey Barnes break down the on- and off-track successes and failures around IndyCar's Iowa Speedway doubleheader weekend in this episode of "The Inside Line." The pair first touch on the ways in which Pato O'Ward and Alex Palou bided their time en route to race wins and how Josef Newgarden and Team Penske saw them slip through their fingertips. Nathan and Joey then dove head first into the elephant in the room: the mostly empty grandstands and the underwhelming TV numbers and discussed why IndyCar's annual stop at Iowa has fallen so far in interest, who's to blame, what could be done to save it and ultimately what it's fate may be.

In this week's edition of The Inside Line, IndyStar motorsports insider Nathan Brown and co-host Joey Barnes dive into all the on and off-track drama in the wake of IndyCar's race at Mid-Ohio. They start the episode taking a look at the moves and decisions that led to the exciting end-of-the-race battle between Scott Dixon and Alex Palou, and the two discuss whether Dixon has a shot at challenging A.J. Foyt's all-time IndyCar wins record. Then, they break down the oddity that has been this season for Team Penske and the streaks and themes that have made it one of the program's worst ever in its 50-plus years in the sport. The pair also dive into the chatter around Josef Newgarden, why his post-qualifying media interaction became the story it did and do their best to clarify sentiments and assumptions around their own (as well as paddock-wide) reporting and story-writing involving Josef and Team Penske at-large over the last couple years. They end this week's episode looking ahead to this weekend's Iowa Speedway doubleheader and why many in the paddock believe it will be more of the same of the lackluster passing opportunities of a year ago.
