It was a dominating performance by Scott McLaughlin and Team Penske at the Grand Prix of Monterey yesterday as they led most of the laps from green flag to checker. A surprising strategic error took season champ, Alex Palou out of the running and second place finisher, Kyle Kirkwood couldn't mount a challenge at the end on alternate tires that had just a few too many laps in them at the end.

It was a fitting end to a IndyCar season that had it all which we'll be recapping over the next couple of weeks. Even though the season is over, there's still lots of news to be made ahead, so stay tuned to Rides & Drives Team Radio for all IndyCar, all the time.

What a weekend in Milwaukee! There are so many storylines to come out of the two races we had to take a little extra time to break it all down. Who had a great day besides Pato and Alex? Who's weekend didn't pan out as hoped? We answer all those questions and more on this episode of Rides & Drives Team Radio.

For the first time since 1981, and IndyCar driver won two races in ...

It was a wild day in Canada for the Ontario Honda Dealers Indy at Markham. After all the Friday cancelations, the FIA finally approved the circuit for racing at 8:00 this morning and the teams immediately went to work. Compressing two practices and qualifying into one day put a lot of stress on the teams and some handled it better than others, especially Rahal, Letterman, Lanigan racing which saw their driver, Louis Foster crush the field on his way to securing his first pole position of the season.

We get into all the action and debate the impact of the lost day to IndyCar's momentum. One thing is for certain, we don't want to have a repeat of Friday's debacle next week in D.C.

Despite rumors about a track build that's a bit behind schedule, we should see drivers take to the streets of Markham in Ontario, Canada this afternoon. It's a new circuit that looks both fast and interesting. Hopefully it provides similar entertainment to the Arlington Race.

We break down what we know (very little), what we don't (quite a lot), and who we think is going to have a good day on Sunday given all the uncertainty on this episode of Rides & Drives Team Radio.

The NTT INDYCAR SERIES is heading to Canada and a brand new street course this season. We've seen simulator videos from Will Power and others, but this is the first live video we've seen of the track. Great drove and POV footage that shows this should be one of the more interesting street courses of the year with lots of different types of corners, technical turn complexes, and straights that aren't always straight. We'll bring you more as the race approaches.

Let's have a look at the New Indy Car Track in Markham Ontario. I w...
