IndyCar Weekly: Josef Newgarden wins Grand Prix of St. Petersburg

In this week’s edition of IndyCar Weekly, IndyStar’s Nathan Brown is joined by his sports editor Nat Newell to dive into a chaotic week in the sport that included massive penalties for Team Penske in the wake of a cheating scandal, an energy-packed race at Barber Motorsports Park and Arrow McLaren’s release of David Malukas. Nathan and Nat first dive into the results at Barber and how strategy calls and one pivotal yellow flag set the course for Scott McLaughlin’s win. Nathan gives a snapshot of where the championship stands 3 races into the year. The pair then wades into the aftermath of the drama around Team Penske’s push-to-pass, where paddock sentiment currently sits and how believable (or not) pieces of their story are. They finish with unpacking Malukas’ release just four races into the year, why Arrow McLaren’s choice wasn’t surprising and where both sides go from here.

In this week’s edition of IndyCar Weekly, IndyStar’s Nathan Brown and co-host Stefan Wilson dive into the aftermath of the Grand Prix of Long Beach, where Scott Dixon put together a dominant fuel-saving effort to move within 10 wins of AJ Foyt’s all-time mark. The two discuss the strategy call that helped decide the race, debate why Colton Herta’s move on Josef Newgarden was or wasn’t deserving of a penalty and give praise to Theo Pourchaire and his solid IndyCar debut that left the young Frenchman 11th. Nathan also provides some insight into David Malukas’ ongoing recovery process, the chaos behind the scenes in managing the future of Arrow McLaren’s No. 6 Chevy entry and what the team may do in May.
