He's almost there. And in a near flawless fashion, Alex Palou put one hand and four fingers on the Astor Cup, with another dominating, suffocating display at Laguna Seca. And with his eighth win of the season, Palou is now chasing history, and one of the oldest records in North American Motorsport history. Dre and RJ review what was a comprehensive beating of the field, ahead of Christian Lundgaard's McLaren and Colton Herta's Andretti, and what it'll take for Palou to win the title in Portland this weekend, a track he's won at twice before.  There's also a chat about some of the mishaps in the field, such as Simpson and Rosenqvist's Lap 1 tangle, and the continued incompetence of IndyCar's stewarding, with Rinus Veekay and Marcus Ericsson left vulnerable on track for nearly two minutes each as the series was reluctant to throw the caution.
