Indy Lights Presented by Cooper Tires Preview: Indy Lights Grand Prix of Monterey (Entry List) – Race 1 Saturday, September 10, 2022 3:20PM (ET) Peacock & Race 2 Sunday, September 11, 2022 12:55PM (ET) Peacock – Linus Lundqvist will win the championship this weekend simply by showing up but there should be plenty of competitiveness through the field this weekend as the Andretti Autosport team and Lundqvist’s teammate Benjamin Pedersen have stepped up over the second half of the season. Nolan Siegel makes his series debut this weekend with HMD Motorsports while Flinn Lazier will hope his races last much longer than a lap after contact ended his day early on his debut at Portland. The battle to watch this weekend will be for second place as the championship as positions 2 through 5 right are tight heading into the weekend as Matthew Brabham leads Hunter McElrea, Sting Ray Robb, and Benjamin Pedersen.

NTT INDYCAR SERIES Preview: Firestone Grand Prix of Monterey – Sunday, September 11, 2022 2:40PM (ET) NBC – What appeared to be one of the greatest NTT INDYCAR SERIES championship battles of all time concludes this weekend with perhaps not as much pre-event drama after Will Power’s strong close to the season. However, there are still five drivers heading into the weekend with a mathematical chance at the title as Power leads Josef Newgarden (-20), Scott Dixon (-20), Marcus Ericsson (-39), and Scott McLaughlin (-41). Power needs only to finish the Top 3 to control his own destiny in clinching the championship.

Previous driver performance at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca shows just two former winners entered this weekend in Colton Herta (2019 & 2021) and Helio Castroneves (2000). Looking at the box scores from 2021 and 2019, only Herta finished in the Top 10 of both races. Herta won each race from pole. The Top 5 in qualifying last year was represented by Andretti Autosport (x2), Team Penske, Chip Ganassi Racing, and Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing so expect a multitude of teams to be competitive as always. Of the entered drivers, the Top 5 in laps led at the circuit are Herta 174, Castroneves 92, Power 6, Grosjean 4, and Dixon 2.

My picks to win: Race – Colton Herta & Championship – Will Power – Herta has absolutely dominated the two most recent events so I’m considering this a near lock until proven otherwise. If he steals the pole and race winner points, it really makes things tough on the rest of the field to surpass Power if he runs into trouble. Power has been so strong lately that I expect him to qualify up front as he usually does and keep himself clean for a podium finish to seal the title.

My fantasy.indycar.com picks: Will Power $30, Colton Herta $29, David Malukas $20, & Christian Lundgaard $20  – You know my thoughts on Power and Herta. The rookie of the year battle between Malukas and Lundgaard should be a fascinating battle and each of the duo has been super fast lately. They’re excellent value picks this weekend to go with whatever star power you want from the bigger teams.

NTT INDYCAR SERIES Preview: Gallagher Grand Prix – Saturday, July 30, 2022 12:00PM (ET) NBC – The NTT INDYCAR SERIES returns to Indianapolis Motor Speedway for its third race at the venue this season as part of a shared weekend with NASCAR. The championship battle remains tight as just 44 points separate the Top 6 in the championship. Those six are Indy 500 winner Marcus Ericsson, Will Power, Josef Newgarden, Scott Dixon, Pato O’Ward, and Alex Palou.

Previous driver experience on the IMS road course shows six former winners in the field in Power (5), Simon Pagenaud (3), Dixon (1), Newgarden (1), Rinus VeeKay (1), and Colton Herta (1). Herta, Power, and VeeKay have won each of the last three races. Looking at the box scores from the 2022 GMR GP, 2021 BMSC GP, and 2021 GMR GP, no one finished in the Top 5 of all three races. A Team Penske car started on the front row of all three races. Only Ericsson finished in the Top 10 in all three races.

My pick to win: Will Power – Power won this race last year and earned the pole for the race in May. Chaos reigned supreme in the May race once rain and storms hit so he didn’t get the win there but you know he’ll be fast. Team Penske always has a strong say in the result of these races and I expect Power to be their lead driver this weekend.

My fantasy.indycar.com picks: Will Power $30, Scott Dixon $30, Christian Lundgaard $20, & Callum Ilott $19 – You know my thoughts on Power. Dixon had been a consistent Top 10 finisher nearly every time at this venue until the last couple races, but has started his late season push to get himself back into the championship conversation and figures to be a strong factor this weekend. Lundgaard has P4 and P8 qualifying efforts in his two races at the circuit and was lightning fast here in this event last year in his first NTT INDYCAR SERIES race. Ilott continues to impress and was P7 in qualifying and P8 in the race in May.

Weekend Schedule – Entry List – Spotter Guide – Circuit Map – Tickets

Indy Lights Presented by Cooper Tires Preview: Indy Lights at Iowa Speedway (Entry List) – Saturday, July 23, 2022 12:15PM (ET) Peacock – Indy Lights heads to Iowa Speedway for their first oval race weekend of the season. Linus Lundqvist continues to hold a big lead in the championship that seems inevitable at this point. But there has been a lot more parity in recent events and an oval event should exacerbate that situation even more. David Malukas won the only two Lights races of the season last year at WWT Raceway so expect the HMD/GRG teams to be strong as always but Andretti Autosport and Kyle Kirkwood finished second in both races so the Andretti team will be right there too. I genuinely have no idea what to expect this weekend let’s just hope it’s as good of a race as it appears it should be.

NTT INDYCAR SERIES Preview: Hy-Vee INDYCAR Race Weekend – HyVeeDeals.com 250 presented by DoorDash on Saturday, July 23, 2022 4:00PM (ET) NBC & Hy-Vee Salute to Farmers 300 presented by Google on Sunday, July 24, 2022 3:00PM (ET) NBC – The NTT INDYCAR SERIES returns to the Iowa Speedway bullring for after a year off in 2021 for what should be an exciting doubleheader weekend with the excitement of new partners promoting the event and all they’re bringing with them. The pre-race and post-race concerts this weekend feature a lineup any music festival would strive for in Tim McGraw, Florida Georgia Line, Gwen Stefani, and Blake Shelton. The championship battle remains tight with the top 5 drivers of Marcus Ericsson, Will Power, Alex Palou, Josef Newgarden, and Scott Dixon separated by just 44 points and others not far behind.

Previous driver experience at Iowa shows three former winners in the field in Newgarden (3), Helio Castroneves (1), and Simon Pagenaud (1). Newgarden and Pagenaud won the last two races in 2020. Looking at the box scores from 2020 Race 2 and 2020 Race 1, Newgarden, Pagenaud, and Dixon finished in the Top 5 in both races. If that’s expanded to the Top 10, that duo is joined by Jack Harvey, Alexander Rossi, and Ericsson. The active Top 5 in laps led at the circuit are Newgarden (1,150), Power (131), Dixon (130), Pagenaud (98), and Takuma Sato (59).

My pick to win: Josef Newgarden & Felix Rosenqvist – I mean look at those laps led stats above and how can you not pick Newgarden this weekend? All five race wins by drivers entered in the race this weekend were won with Team Penske. Newgarden is almost certain to win one of these two races. I’m going with a big surprise for the other winner this weekend in Rosenqvist. He’s had some sneaky good results on ovals and has shown a lot more speed in recent events. Oliver Askew and Pato O’Ward had good weekends for Arrow McLaren SP at Iowa a couple years ago so look out for Felix this weekend.

My fantasy.indycar.com picks: Josef Newgarden $30, Felix Rosenqvist $26, Conor Daly $23, & David Malukas $19 – You know my thoughts on Newgarden and Rosenqvist. Daly has a pole at Iowa with Carlin!!! of all teams in 2020 and will bring that knowledge and experience to ECR this year with a team that will be hungry for some good results. Malukas has been very impressive in recent events and won two oval races in Lights last year.

NTT INDYCAR SERIES Preview: Honda Indy Toronto – Sunday, July 17, 2022 3:00PM (ET) Peacock – The NTT INDYCAR SERIES returns to Toronto for the first time since 2019 due to COVID-19 this weekend for what should be exciting weekend. Drama is in the air all around the paddock after the Andretti teammates all made contact at Mid-Ohio and the Alex Palou/CGR/AMSP situation mid-week.

Previous driver experience at Toronto shows four former winners in the field in Scott Dixon (3), Will Power (3), Josef Newgarden (2), and Simon Pagenaud (1). Pagenaud and Dixon are the last two winners at the circuit. Looking at the box scores from the last two races in 2019 and 2018, Dixon and Pagenaud each finished in the Top 5 in both races. If that’s expanded to the Top 10, that duo is joined by Alexander Rossi and Newgarden, . The active Top 5 in laps led at the circuit are Dixon (200), Power (162), Newgarden (120), Pagenaud (114), and Helio Castroneves (101).

My pick to win: Will Power – Team Penske has won all three street course events so far this season so look out for them again this weekend. Power has been extremely fast and this is obviously one of his better tracks.

My fantasy.indycar.com picks: Will Power $30, Josef Newgarden $30, Conor Daly $21, & David Malukas $19 – You know my thoughts on Power and Newgarden is an equal threat. I had to build a team around having two Team Penske drivers this week. Daly enjoys the Toronto circuit and should provide good value at $21 with any good luck at all. Malukas has been quick and coming off an outstanding qualifying performance at Detroit during the last street course weekend.
