re: 2023 IndyCar Season - R17 Laguna Seca 9/10 2:30 pm ET (NBC)

Alex Palou is on a roll. He won the Indy GP (road course race), then got pole for the Indy 500 and finished P4, and now has pole for the Detroit GP.

Scott McLaughlin has only finished P1 or P2 when starting on the front row, so hopefully we'll have a great race between these two.

Then there's Romain Grosjean, who has been fast on road/street courses this year. He is hungry for a win. Dixon and Newgarden are no slouches either.

Many drivers are saying the course is too tight and too short. And all the bumps means cars will be losing grip and crashing into each other and the walls. Could be Nashville-level chaos.
