The bizarre and exciting debut of the Nashville street circuit is the hot topic on this week’s The Race IndyCar Podcast.

JR Hildebrand and The Race’s American Editor Jack Benyon assess Marcus Ericsson’s drive from a crash and stop/go penalty on to victory with a sublime performance to hold off weekend standout Colton Herta. Ericsson especially has impressed our hosts with his recent form – can this surge in form take him to the title?

Herta’s late crash and his approach to the end of the race are also dissected, as is whether the crash-strewn race – 33 of the 80 laps of which were run under caution – was a thriller or whether it was just too bonkers.
