206 - Next Steps - Christian Lundgaard Finds Himself in the Championship Battle
About this episode
Christian Lundgaard discusses his strong start to the 2026 IndyCar season and the championship battle.
For the first time in a couple of seasons, we're seeing Alex Palou be challenged for the IndyCar points championship. Beneath the surface of Palou's dominant 2025 campaign, a new crop of racers began to show glimpses of the year-long consistency needed to take down the monolithic Chip Ganassi Racing 10-team. One of those drivers, Christian Lundgaard, joins Speed Street this week to discuss his strong start to 2026, which currently finds him third in the standings. He and Conor Daly break down Arrow McLaren's strengths and areas for improvement, as well as look ahead to Long Beach and the Month of May.
