Palou interviewed after title number four + Portland reviewed
About this episode
Alex Palou is the man of the moment in the IndyCar Series after winning his fourth title and his third in a row last weekend. And he’s on this week’s show just for you.
Palou picks his favourite stat from the year and his Ganassi career so far, picks some of the reasons he feels this success has been possible, discusses Chip Ganassi taking a chance on him and sticking with him through tough times, and the crew behind him that has made this possible.
There’s also special insight into his relationship with Dario Franchitti and how the Ganassi driver advisor has raised Palou’s game, plus a look at Palou’s driving style and what he’s learned from Scott Dixon.
IndyCar radio commentator Ryan Myrehn joins Jack Benyon for the rest of the show, to break down the rest of the weekend’s action in Portland, including some humorous Will Power swearing after his win, Christian Rasmussen and Conor Daly’s crazy crash, and more on Pato O’Ward after an electrical issue for him handed Palou the title last weekend.
