MP 1687: The Set Down | Barber IndyCar Review from YouTube
About this episode
Barber Motorsports Park sets the tone: IndyCar’s hybrid-era road-course racing delivered a dominant Alex Palou (Ganassi) with limited on-track lead battles, but plenty of strategy intrigue. Marshall Pruett breaks down how Palou’s pace, plus Will Power’s big alternate-tire charge from P23 to P12, shaped the weekend. He spotlights team-by-team road-course questions (Ganassi strong, Arrow McLaren mixed, Penske led by Pato O’Ward’s struggles and De Vries’/Malukas’ qualifying promise) and dives into RLL’s Graham Rahal overperformance, pit-stop execution, and engineering changes involving Mick Schumacher and Eddie Jones. He also teases Indy 500 fourth-car speculation and a new “search party” award for Felix Rosenqvist’s season slump.
