After an insane Road America IndyCar race, 2012 series champion Ryan Hunter-Reay joins from the ground in Wisconsin, but is also here to tell us about his incredible Indy 500 bid which really could and should have ended with victory.

Hunter-Reay and host Jack Benyon look at Palou returning to form and how likely it is anyone can stop him after winning six races halfway through the season.

Key storylines from Road America are also delved into before Hunter-Reay tells the story of how a pitstop practice car - drafted in after his primary car caught fire in practice - nearly won the 500.

It’s the kind of incredible story which makes the Indy 500 one of the best races in the world, and we hope you enjoy it.
