## Resource

This week on "SPEED with Harvick and Buxton," Kevin Harvick and Will Buxton dive into a big weekend from Kansas Speedway, where Tyler Reddick secured his fifth win of the season. With a staggering win percentage through nine races, Kevin goes "Under the Hood" to ask the big question: Are we witnessing the most dominant season in the modern era? In Buxton's Breakdown, we compare Reddick’s historic pace to the 2025 run of Alex Palou, and discuss Michael Jordan’s reaction to his star driver.Beyond the Cup Series, the guys cover a massive weekend in global motorsport: - IndyCar at Long Beach: Palou asserts his dominance, adding a Long Beach trophy to his Indy 500 win and reclaiming the championship lead. - The Return of Robert Wickens: Will highlights the emotional milestone of Wickens leading laps in IMSA six years after his spinal cord injury. - Sprint Cars & Endurance: 55-year-old Kerry Madsen’s historic High Limit win and Toyota’s milestone 50th victory in WEC. - A Somber Note: We pay tribute to Juha Miettinen following the tragic news from the Nürburgring. In The Racing Line, Kevin and Will tackle fan questions about the "Mount Rushmore" of winless champions and a hypothetical drag race between NASCAR and IndyCar. Plus, stay tuned for a preview of the high-speed chaos coming to Talladega this weekend. Coming Wednesday: An exclusive sit-down with "The King," Richard Petty!
