We got to catch up with drivers after Lone Star Le Mans at COTA. Victor Martins was in good spirits after a top 5 finish and talked about building momentum heading into the final few rounds of the season.

Stoffel Vandoorne had a tough one. A spin early in the race dropped them a lap down and they never fully recovered from it. He was candid about how costly that moment was and how difficult it made the rest of the day.

Kevin Magnussen finished P8 and kept the manufacturers title fight with Toyota alive. He also got into the challenge of navigating through lapped GT cars.

Pato O’Ward gave his response to McLaren teammate Christian Lundgaard’s comments suggesting the Arrow McLaren oval setup is essentially built around O’Ward. Lundgaard told Will Buxton on Speed last week that Scott Dixon and Felix Rosenqvist are going to struggle against O’Ward on ovals next year because of how different the intra-team setups are.

“Everyone in IndyCar is like in their little island. I know Christian loves to say that everything is made for me, and he loves to say that the car only goes to the address that I ask.”

Then he got to the point. “That thing that says that only the oval program is for what I want, is pure shit, as we love to say in English, he is full of shit, is not true.”

O’Ward says the reality is the opposite of what Lundgaard is claiming. “If I remember, most of all the tracks, we’re always on opposite sides of the setup. He develops his car, and I develop mine, and in fact in several races, if one is struggling a lot, he goes to the setup of the other and does better.”

Cars turned 20 years old this year. An entire generation grew up watching Lightning McQueen and developed a love for motorsport because of it. Is it the most impactful racing movie ever made?

Alex Palou clinched his fifth IndyCar championship at The Milwaukee Mile on Sunday with a race to spare. He has won five titles in six seasons with 4 of them being consecutive championships. The youngest five-time champion in American open-wheel history. A.J. Foyt needed eight seasons to reach five. At 29 years old he is nowhere near done, and Chip Ganassi Racing has now passed Team Penske for the most championships in IndyCar history with 18. 🏆

Lia Block won her first overall victory at the national level of U.S. rallying on Saturday, taking the Ojibwe Forests Rally in Minnesota by more than two minutes. The 19-year-old now leads the ARA National Championship standings by 21 points with two rounds remaining. The daughter of the late Ken Block won the ARA Open Two-Wheel-Drive title at 16, competed in F1 Academy in 2025, and is now closing in on a national rally championship. 🤙

IndyCar had to walk back a premature announcement this week after Barranquilla’s mayor publicly declared the Colombian city had secured an IndyCar race for April 2028. The series pushed back confirming meetings have taken place but no site visit has happened and nothing close to a contract exists. A Colombian race in 2028 is possible but nowhere near confirmed. 🇨🇴

David Malukas was not happy after missing out on victory at the Milwaukee Mile this past weekend. He at first blamed Chevy in his post race comments but apologized early Monday morning saying “not proud with what I said yesterday. It was childish and speaking out of frustration. Chevy has done great things for me this year and I wouldn’t be getting the results I have been without them. I apologize for what was said, immature from me.”

Malukas is 5th in the IndyCar standings

Max Verstappen is staying at Red Bull through 2030 and it’s done. Reports put his base salary at around €92 million per year from 2027, potentially rising to €115 million with bonuses. Slotting him behind the likes of Messi,LeBron(goat) and Ohtani on the Forbes list. 🏎️

Austin Hill is confirmed full-time in the No. 33 Chevrolet at RCR for 2027. Hill stepped into the car under incredibly difficult circumstances after Kyle Busch’s passing in May and has been running double duty in Cup and the O’Reilly Series ever since. He’s won 16 races with RCR in the O’Reilly Series and now gets his shot at the top level full-time. 🏁

Rockingham Speedway was absent from the 2027 NASCAR schedule and could be changing hands within the next 30 to 60 days. The IHRA is dealing with financial instability and Track Enterprises president Bob Sargent says conversations about a potential acquisition are already underway. 🏁

Ligier has confirmed its first three customers for the new JS P228 LMP2 car ahead of the 2028 regulation overhaul. Algarve Pro Racing, Inter Europol Competition, and Panis Competition are all in three teams that previously ran Ligier before Oreca’s dominance made the 07 the only realistic option. The new rules reduce approved chassis suppliers to just Ligier and Oreca. 🏆

F1 is staring down a genuine problem at the end of the 2026 season. Qatar and Abu Dhabi are still on the calendar but the ongoing Middle East conflict has both races under threat, and CEO Stefano Domenicali confirmed a decision won’t come before mid-September. Domenicali ruled out a Las Vegas double-header and a second COTA race outright. Imola is the most realistic European backup with a December finale on the table. 🏎️

IndyCar’s inaugural Freedom 250 in Washington D.C. just got bigger. The race has been extended from 125 to 147 laps to create a true 250-mile race in honor of America’s 250th anniversary. It runs through Pennsylvania Avenue and around the National Mall on August 23 and the extra laps are expected to force at least one additional pit stop. 🇺🇸

Pfaff Motorsports is leaving IMSA at the end of the season after building one of the most respected programs in the paddock. The Ontario-based team won GTD and GTD Pro titles in 2021 and 2022 with Porsche before moving to McLaren and then Lamborghini. Owner Chris Pfaff is shifting focus to developing Canadian Tire Motorsport Park into a year-round facility but left the door open for a future return in some form. 🏁

Carson Brown is making his NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series debut at Iowa Speedway this weekend in the No. 32 for Jordan Anderson Racing. The 18-year-old RCR development driver leads the ASA STARS National Super Late Model Tour with four wins in six starts this season and is considered a candidate for a full-time O’Reilly seat for 2027 🏁
