60: Newgarden vs. Pagenaud

The Braking Point enters its 60th week with plenty of headlines from sports car, Mazda Road to Indy and Verizon IndyCar Series racing.

Mixed in with the news, there’s also on-track action to talk about from both Virginia International Raceway and Gateway Motorsports Park.

Recorded on location in New York, The Apex’s Executive Editor Ben Hinc forgoes an in-depth topic and instead gives a brief preview of the upcoming weekend of racing at Watkins Glen.
