Ty Gibbs Beats Teammate at Iowa, Palou Dominates Portland, Verstappen Out? | SPEED
SPEED with Harvick and BuxtonShow Notes
Speed is back with Will Buxton & Kevin Harvick to break down an incredible weekend of racing! In Iowa, Ty Gibbs fended off teammate Christopher Bell to take home the checkered flag at the Iowa Corn 350. Gibbs is the first driver since Kurt Busch to win the first two short‑track races of his Cup career. NASCAR tightened up stage‑break procedures starting this weekend at Iowa, aiming to cut down on long caution stretches and cleaner transitions.
While over in Indycar, Alex Palou dominates in Portland to extend his lead while finishing over Felix Rosenqvist & Will Power. Palou has pretty much all, but locked up the title. IndyCar just dropped a bombshell: the IR‑28, a lighter, faster, more aggressive next‑gen car is set to debut in 2028, a full‑scale reset for the series.
