Alex Palou’s Perfect Pit, Denny Hamlin's Masterclass, + Ferrari’s Shocking Reveal!

From the concrete canyons of Detroit to the high-speed drama of Nashville, Kevin Harvick and Will Buxton are back to break down a wild, full-contact weekend of global motorsport. The guys kick things off in the Motor City, where Alex Palou survived a chaotic, high-stakes Detroit Grand Prix to capture his fourth INDYCAR victory of the season, extending his championship lead and further cementing his historic run toward a fourth consecutive title. The drama didn't stop there, as Enzo Fittipaldi overcame massive front-wing damage to pull off a stunning double-crossover pass for a wild win in INDY NXT. Over in Nashville, Kevin breaks down a masterful final restart by Denny Hamlin, who put on a side-drafting clinic to lead a Joe Gibbs Racing top-three sweep, while Shane van Gisbergen turned heads with a brilliant P5 finish—his best career result on an oval. The guys also look ahead to NASCAR's future as Corey Heim locks down a full-time Cup Series seat with 23XI Racing for 2027. It was also an emotional weekend across the racing community, as drivers and youth racers alike paid tribute to the late Kyle Busch. Justin Allgaier celebrated an Xfinity thriller by hitting Busch’s signature victory bow, a gesture mirrored by Kyle Larson’s eight-year-old daughter, Audrey, after her own dirt-kart win in Nebraska. Plus, there is plenty of short-track and dirt action to unpack. Kevin faces some heat from Will after his son, Keelan, beat him to the line in a top-five family showdown at the Cars Tour West event. Meanwhile, Rico Abreu fended off a hard-charging Kyle Larson in High Limit Racing, and Nick Hoffman cashed a massive, six-figure payday in the World of Outlaws Blaster 57 Special. Crossing the Atlantic, the episode dives into the glitz and glamour of F1's newest sponsorships, a record-breaking weekend for Aprilia and Marco Bezzecchi in front of a massive MotoGP crowd at Mugello, and Abbi Pulling's historic, landmark victory at Spa in the GB3 Championship. The guys also reflect on the immense bravery and perils of the Isle of Man TT following a dominant win by Dean Harrison, before handing out the infamous "Robin Miller Award" to the most spectacular wrecks of the week—featuring a multi-million euro pileup at Monza and some hilarious French hijinks in a Citroen Ami. To wrap it all up, Kevin and Will reveal the fans' choice for Driver of the Week and preview an upcoming blockbuster slate of racing, including INDYCAR at World Wide Technology Raceway, NASCAR's fastest track at Michigan, MotoGP's physical test in Hungary, and the crown jewel of Formula 1: the Monaco Grand Prix.

Danica Patrick Interview

On this special edition of SPEED with Harvick and Buxton, fueled by POET, Will Buxton sits down for an exclusive, unfiltered conversation with one of the most polarizing, groundbreaking, and influential figures in modern motorsport history: Danica Patrick. Danica traces her journey back to the raw, ultra-competitive days of Midwest go-karting before opening up about the pivotal, terrifying decision to move across the Atlantic to England at just 16 years old. She shares what it was really like to be dropped into the brutal European junior formula ladder as a teenager—navigating not just a completely foreign racing culture, but the isolation of breaking into a fiercely guarded "boys' club" of global racing. The conversation shifts to her historic open-wheel career, where she relives the magic and chaos of the 2005 Indianapolis 500—an iconic rookie performance where she led 19 laps and sent "Danica Mania" into absolute overdrive. She also takes us inside her transition to stock cars, reflecting on the immense pressure of capturing the pole position for the 2013 Daytona 500 and carrying the expectations of an entire sport on her shoulders. Finally, Danica gets candid about the psychological toll of the spotlight. She discusses how she learned to handle intense media scrutiny and paddock criticism, and offers a fascinating take on how today's hyper-reactive social media landscape would have fundamentally altered her career if it had been around during her peak racing days. It is a masterclass in mental toughness, resilience, and raw speed from a driver who refused to be defined by anyone else's rules.
