Who's Winning The IndyCar Championship This Weekend?-April 2024

Image for article titled Who's Winning The IndyCar Championship This Weekend?

Sunday will see the final race of the 2019 IndyCar championship take place at Laguna Seca in California, and the title has yet to be decided. Who’s going to be the one to take it home?

There are four drivers in contention this year from three different team, albeit with several different routes to the championship: Josef Newgarden from Penske has 593 points, Alexander Rossi from Andretti Autosport has 552 points, Simon Pagenaud from Penske has 551 points, and Scott Dixon from Chip Ganassi Racing has 508. With the final race of the season being worth double points, that means things are still pretty damn competitive.

All Newgarden needs is a 4th place finish or better to lock up the championship no matter where the other contenders place—but there are no guarantees that he can bring home the Astor Cup. IndyCar hasn’t raced at Laguna Seca in years, which means that it’s tough to make any predictions.

But I think Alexander Rossi has a pretty damn good shot at things this year. Every other driver he’s competing against has at least one championship under their belt. Rossi doesn’t. And he’s a hell of a hungry driver who isn’t afraid to get a little rowdy if he has to.

My money is on him. But we want to know—who are you rooting for?

The World Rally Championship Will Be at Least Partially Electric by 2022
Rally is a pretty down-to-earth sport. It’s not pushing the boundaries like Formula One tries to do, and it’s not introducing totally new concepts like Formula E. But FIA President Jean Todt is expressing his frustrations with how slowly technology in the World Rally Championship is progressing. “I’m completely in...

Ferrari has never been a road going car company, it’s a racing team that sells cars to fund its racing team. Well, that may not be the case anymore, what with the realities of business, but as long as Enzo was alive it was the gospel. This might be the...

The First Houses Are Going Up at the Site of the Historic Texas World Speedway
The figurative dismantling of the decaying , once a massive, high-speed oval that hosted the top tiers of U.S. auto racing, began when those tiers bypassed it for more convenient, better-located venues as early as the 1970s. Decades later, the actual dismantling has begun, as the first houses in a...

Rallye Monte Carlo puts the top rally drivers in the world into what may be not only the most famous rally of the season but the most mentally grueling event on some of the most deceptively challenging roads. Many falter. Some shine. And here we see a driver in the...
