Mid-Season Mayhem: IndyCar, F1, and NASCAR Updates

Get ready for a packed episode of Speed Chronicles as Todd Lewis breaks down the busiest stretch of the IndyCar season, mid-season contract drama, standout F1 moments, and the future of NASCAR’s street races. From Alex Palou’s dominating lead to Will Power’s uncertain future, it’s all covered.

Todd also weighs in on NASCAR Canada’s first oval race of the year, how the new modified live pit stops are working (or not), and the quiet but growing concern around team budgets and car counts. Plus, a fiery take on Daniel Suárez’s split with Trackhouse and what’s next for rising star Connor Zilisch.
