2026 Streets of Markham | NTT Indycar SeriesHighlights

We have green. It's a wonderful start from Louie Foster McLaughlin up and on the insides of Christian Lundgaard already, but Lundgaard holds position in second. It's all pretty clean through turn six Looks like the green and white car Cal Collette has a flat left rear He was squirreling all over the place as they try to go single file through turn seven Vic Schumacher trying to hang around the outside three wide here through turn seven. That's not gonna work Townsend. It's so slippery offline You can see where the contact came from Cal Collette He shot to the outside and straight into Felix Rosenquist. I don't think he had any idea. There was a car there Oh Mick Schumacher into the wall heavy Let me tell you who that's good for Renis VK who has already pit and this is gonna force the leaders to do the same thing unfortunate end for Mick Schumacher It's just so below isn't it slowly chipping away Oh, he's having a look at Malukas on the restart locks up that makes a tidy move. Never mind slowly chipping away He's going for it now Look at him trying to get the power down try to keep Malukas behind him into the hairpin here He's gonna have to go defensive Very conservative for the field on the brake pedal there. Everybody concerned about how Wide and Malukas trying to show a nose. Oh We'll try to go wide and around the outside of the hairpin contact between Hauger and Rasmussen and Award now hit as well. Oh It's a traffic jam down there VK is in on it trying to get around Kip and Simpson. I think went wide As we get a replay here and that is power lifting Alexander Rossi in the ECR Ericsson pitting from second and he has really been closing the gap on Louis Foster in the last few laps They gave him the option you can pit now if you want, but if you catch him and he's gonna hold you up stop There is Marcus Ericsson and that is Armstrong and Stingray Rob and Rinas VK battling Oh and Armstrong has spotted. Can he get it going? full course yellow Armstrong tried to get going again and Well didn't make a very good fist of it Which led to everybody else having to slow dramatically behind Rinas VK looked like he stalled then Scott McLaughlin look like he stalled Pits are open Foster will have to stop and Kevin This could be the undoing of a perfect day And he almost haven't had it worse because he was gonna have to come in for emergency service out of fuel But the top three are gonna go the front to the back Siegel gets us back racing Right now it's Siegel Grosjean and Stingray Rob who are on that alternate strategy and Ericsson immediately looking racy behind Grosjean Almost into the wall and power gets past as Rahul gets through Rob That's gonna open the door for Palau on McLaughlin drag racing down the straight to turn five I think will power might have a move as well He does power looks to the inside of Stingray Rob and decides to back off. Everybody knows tires are cold Contact between McLaughlin and power McLaughlin and once again almost stopped That is Rasmussen and Dixon Rasmussen sorry Rasmussen and Dixon Dixon facing the wrong way spins it around we'll get going again The crowd love that we're back under full course yellow yellows breed yellows and Markham breeds chaos So Dixon was tipped into a spin there by Hauger Rasmussen nowhere to go We're in for quite the 12 corners and possibly another yellow as power has a look at Rahul on the restart And if you're Marcus Ericsson, you're really just biding your time You don't need to force the issue here. These two cars in front are going to have to get to pit lane soon Foster on Rossi Pato on Rossi Foster now looking at Pillow Well, I had to go defensive after a botched attempt on willpower in front of them Oh Ward makes the move stick on Alexander Rossi and Kirkwood follows him through Rossi going the way of everyone else who's got on to that dirty part of the track as Louie Foster goes to look around the outside of Alex Pillow Roman Grosjean takes the lead Lundgaard was all locked up in that white and papaya McLaren I thought he was gonna bowling ball half the field Newgarden it looks like having some issues down there as well at the hairpin Ericsson now Looking at Siegel as a ward looks at Pillow Foster did make the move stick and now makes the move on willpower And it's Kirkwood that's got to be careful here because these two could very easily get into each other. Oh Boy somebody I think that Foster has contact more contact. Hello got hit VK into Pillow VK's got some wing damage Marcus Ericsson third Louie Foster up four places from the restart sits forth and Foster makes the move on Ericsson. There you go He's in the wall He overcooked it on the pass and the perfect weekend the perfect run for the pole sitter is done Half an inch too far to the left. It's the inside wall pings into the outside wall Perhaps a little cooler and calmer heads prevailing give it up the inside of Rossi Rossi tries to floor it to get back past him and McLaughlin takes advantage of that We've got a spin at the back and it's stingray Rob He's got a flat front right that contact is punctured the right front he's holding up everybody Lucas So here you go side by side in the hairpin. There's the contact. It just barely has the front wing scratch I'm surprised that that cut the tired. I'm shocked It was actually Grosjean. They wanted to pit at the last caution. He said no, let's stay out and lead some laughs Oh, and there's a caution Kirkwood's in the wall It's a big one for Kyle Kirkwood. Both front wheels are done. His day is done. Oh And it's exactly the same as Foster same corner same impact takes the inside wall and pings off into the outside You can see the left front flopping about that is from the initial impact McLaughlin pops out further back on the McLaren of Christian Lundgaard. Oh and you got in get spun you start coming a mile away I hate to say it and that is Nolan Siegel in the midst of it And look at beyond the gap on McLaughlin who might eventually catch up to Grosjean crude over 16 seconds He might cycle out to about 10 shell 100% Marcus Erickson is back out. It's a great stop from the crew under crunch time 6.8 So there goes Grosjean there goes McLaughlin. Wow, it was below. That's an exceptional stop perfectly timed He's out behind Maluk as it is not out of the realms of possibility That Marcus Erickson can still win this thing as VK puts the move on him at four. I guess mark Hello has got second place from McLaughlin. Let's take a look back to see how this happened Oh last minute. I was it up the inside lovely Look at Erickson Erickson's present Erickson look at the inside to the inside of VK. Oh Perfect. Nicely done avoids the contact and Simpsons gonna nip through as well Power pass it for the podium. He gets by McLaughlin You see the push-to-pass numbers 41 for power 40 for Erickson, they're basically a dead heat on that It was starting to struggle on tires Erickson up the inside contact with his teammate but makes it through Lights up the rears off the hairpin Both of them will have lost time in the battle to pillow All I can say is these guys are so lucky that there was nobody behind them to capitalize on both of them running white Here it comes. Here comes the hairpin. What does he do? Makes the move early makes the move clean Take second place away from Alex Pillow and Marcus Erickson has just one place left to take He knows he's Oh Lucas hits the wall. It's like he might have bent or broken the rear tow link. Here comes pillow now Well pillows just lost a place to power power on pillow Shaping him up having a look goes late goes to the inside Erickson goes to the lead Listen to the crowd in Markham. They love it There is something about this guy on a new track when it throws the unexpected Erickson rises to the fore and to the top step of the podium Erickson wins on the streets of Markham What a gap seven seconds
