Josef Newgarden’s title chances after finally breaking his and Team Penske’s 2021 winless streak is the main topic of this week’s episode looking back at IndyCar action from Mid-Ohio.

Hosts JR Hildebrand and Jack Benyon look at the numbers behind the remaining races for Newgarden, and if finally breaking his run of bad luck brings him into the title picture.

Chip Ganassi Racing had three cars in the top four at Mid-Ohio and has Alex Palou leading the points and Scott Dixon in third. Could that be a decisive factor in the championship as it hits full stride - with Marcus Ericsson stalking Newgarden for the win - while Penske’s team-wide struggles for the year may not be over?

Andretti, which had a 1-2-3 at Mid-Ohio last year, is also part of the discussion as two of its drivers who are fighting to keep their seats crashed into each other on the first lap amid some of their best starting positions of the year.

All four Andretti cars qualified in the top 10 but after Colton Herta was robbed of a front-running place by pitstop drama, and only Alexander Rossi took a top 10 in fifth.
