Summary

It was a fascinating season in the world of IndyCar in 2024. Josef Newgarden became the first person to retain the Indy 500 title since Helio Castroneves in 2002. Across the overall season, the series had seven different winners, as Alex Palou won his third Astor Cup in four seasons with Chip Ganassi Racing. Together, Dre Harrison and Joey Barnes record an extended edition of the Autosport Podcast to review our Top 10 drivers of the 2024 season and review the big stories coming out of the end of the year, including Santino Ferrucci's great season with AJ Foyt Racing, Newgarden's non-500 struggles on and off the track, as well as the excellent turnaround campaigns from Will Power and Colton Herta at Penske and Andretti respectively.
