If a Palou falls in the Long Beach, and no-one got to see it, did it make a sound?
That’s the question Dre, RJ and Cam have to answer in the latest edition of Motorsport101, as IndyCar took to the famous streets of Long Beach for Round 3 of the 2025 Championship. And for the second time in three years, it would be Kyle Kirkwood that would conquer all, defeat Alex Palou for the first time this season, and bring himself into Championship contention.

We break down how Kirkwood did it, as well as talk about the races lack of strategy due to Firestone green tyres that lasted about as long as this Podcast’s bio, the startlingly poor TV ratings and the cursed Golf clashing with the race itself, and what can be done with the calendar to combat the series fading momentum despite its new home on FOX.
