    In this edition of The Inside Line, IndyStar motorsports reporter Nathan Brown and co-host Joey Barnes discuss the riveting end to the 2025 IndyCar season that was the finale at Nashville Superspeedway.

The pair discuss Newgarden’s interesting words in his post-race press conference about what this offseason may have in store for him, and they also break down David Malukas’ race-ending crash and how and why he came together with Louis Foster. They then run down the championship standings and note standout or notable finishers after the dust settled in Nashville, and then Nathan and Joey finally break down where exactly the 2026 IndyCar schedule is in this closing stage, including the pros and cons around Canada’s race shifting to a new location, the ways in which the fates of races in Mexico City and Washington D.C. may be intertwined and what else to expect on the calendar for 2026.

Nathan and Joey talk about what’s next for them in 2026, and then they cap the episode setting the stage for where the Silly Season landscape stands with those major dominos having fallen.
