In this episode of The Inside Line, IndyStar motorsports insider Nathan Brown and co-host Joey Barnes start things off highlighting the novelty of Will Power’s win Sunday at Portland, what impact it may have on his future at Team Penske and what that future could (and should) look like. The pair then discuss the way in which Alex Palou clinched his fourth IndyCar title Sunday and the historic pace of the start to his career. They then break-down and opine on the controversial crash between Christian Rasmussen and Conor Daly, the lack of a call from race control why many drivers in the paddock are frustrated with the current state of race control. Nathan finishes off the podcast with updates on progress for 2026 races at Toronto and Mexico City and why the latter doesn’t appear to be as much of a ‘sure thing’ as immediately believed.
