[ad_1] Here's what's happening this week Inside The Garage: Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course (Lexington, Ohio) — Pato O’Ward didn’t seem to carry too much angst about not winning this year, playing his streak of non-podium finishes as something that was just part of racing. But it is hard to deny the perception of O'Ward at Arrow McLaren. He’s the driver who has been there the longest. He’s the one who

He indicated that anger was fueling him this week to focus and not make any mistakes.

[ad_1] Drivers need to stand their ground, but it appears Noah Gragson overreacted at Naval Base Coronado — and that cost him. Was he wronged by an aggressive Kevin Magnussen, who either made a mistake in his first Cup race or just raced knowing he probably won’t race in the series again? You could certainly argue that. But Magnussen did not ruin Gragson’s day, and Gragson needed to know Gragson
