How to Watch MotoAmerica Round 7 at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course: Schedule, TV/stream info, past results
Bobby Fong's four-race winning streak, couple with problems for both Josh Herrin and Cameron Beaubier in the past couple of rounds, has tightened to the points' battle with three rounds remaining. Only 16 points separate these three. Round 7 of the MotoAmerica Superbike season will be a critical challenge as they jockey for position. Herrin will need to shake off the mental and physical impact of his crash in the last round at Virginia International Raceway and this is a good place to do so after sweeping the races at Mid-Ohio last year. Beaubier will also have a spring to his step on the heels of a pair of podiums in 2024, while Fong finished sixth and fifth in those races. There is no substitute for momentum, however, and Mid-Ohio promises to be filled with action. Here's what you need to know to watch this weekend's races on Peacock and NBC Sports NOW.

Herrin beat Beaubier to the line by nearly 19 seconds in the first race, but had to withstand intense pressure from Sean Dylan Kelly in Race 2 to win by less than half a second. After last round's Race 1 contact between these two riders, that could play a factor this weekend. Beaubier was third in the second race to sweep the podium. JD Beach took the final podium position in Race 1.

'This clown': Conor Daly has harsh words for Santino Ferrucci after IndyCar crash
Conor Daly believes Santino Ferrucci went way out of his way to push Daly off track Sunday during the Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio. IndyCar officials agree. The two were battling for position on Lap 43 when their wheels touched, and Ferrucci forced Daly far off the track while going into the grass himself. Advertisement IndyCar officials ordered Ferrucci to give up 3 race positions. He finished 16th and Daly 19th. Post-race, Daly posted on social media: "This clown literally drove himself off track trying to make sure he wrecked me 😂 @SantinoFerrucci brilliant as always" Shocking result: Scott Dixon wins after Alex Palou's mistake Nathan Brown is your best IndyCar follow, and keep up with coverage throughout the season with IndyStar's motorsports newsletter.

'I know how to outsmart him.' Santino Ferrucci plots revenge on Conor Daly after Mid-Ohio incidents
Santino Ferrucci acknowledged he made a mistake at Mid-Ohio, forcing Conor Daly off the track in last weekend's IndyCar race. Ferrucci doesn't appreciate Daly's response — and not the one on social media. The two touched wheels midway through the race and Daly was forced well into the grass. Ferrucci wound up finishing 16th and Daly 19th. Advertisement Ferrucci said Thursday at Iowa Speedway that he was late entering a turn and, in trying to correct his position on track, their wheels touched. Ferrucci's car briefly couldn't turn and Daly had to go off track to avoid harder contact. What has rankled Ferrucci is not Daly calling him "this clown" on social media, but that Daly "brake-checked" him — stopping abruptly in front of him on pit lane, risking contact post-race. The Inside Line IndyCar podcast: Scott Dixon edges Alex Palou, Josef Newgarden and Team Penske reaction, more "I would have gone up and said something after the race in pit lane, but he decided to brake check me in pit lane, which is just dumb," the 27-year-old Ferrucci said. Advertisement Ferrucci improved just one spot from his starting position at Mid-Ohio, but over the previous four races, he had improved 58 positions — finishing in the top 5 in each. "I'm really mad at myself because I feel like I've run four perfect races going up to that point, and that's the only mistake I've made in the last five weekends," he said. 'This clown': Conor Daly has harsh words for Santino Ferrucci after IndyCar crash Ferrucci added he's eager to match moves and wits with Daly in this weekend's races at Iowa Speedway — a 275-lapper on Saturday and another on Sunday. "If he doesn't think memories are shot, he's got something else coming," Ferrucci said. "I know how to outsmart him on an oval. I've done it before. It'll be fun."

Clown? Backmarker? Santino Ferrucci And Conor Daly Not Mincing Words
DES MOINES, Iowa — What is worse: being called a "clown" or a "backmarker?" In the latest rejuvenated INDYCAR beef, Conor Daly and Santino Ferrucci are throwing shade on their long-running history of not exactly seeing eye to eye on things. To make things even better, both could be in contention for their first career INDYCAR victory on Saturday and/or Sunday in the Iowa Speedway doubleheader weekend. "I just got caught up messing with a backmarker," Ferrucci told me Thursday about his tangle with Daly in the race last Sunday at Mid-Ohio. "We would have finished inside the top 10. I'm mad at myself." For context, a backmarker is a driver who regularly races in the back of the field rather than among the leaders in the front. Their battle at Mid-Ohio ended up with INDYCAR penalizing Ferrucci three positions and with Daly in the grass. Daly remarked on his "Speed Street" podcast this week that the post on social media calling Ferrucci a "clown" was his most-liked ever. "The lack of respect that Santino actually has for the effort that goes into this type of racing," Daly said on the podcast, "to throw it away purely because he either doesn't care or doesn't know what's going on or doesn't like me?" "I don't care that he doesn't like me," Daly added. "I don't like him. ... Santino has actually raced somewhat intelligently this year on occasions. And I thought we were actually on a little bit better of a spot." The move surprised Daly because it cost Ferrucci spots for himself, calling the move "childish." "I'd already gotten ahead of Santino's nose and I'm like, 'OK it will be really hard for him to run me off the track unless he actually uses his car as a Scud missile and drives into the slide of me,'" Daly said. "Turns out, that's what happened. ... I should have known. Santino has done this multiple times to me, like where there's no regard for his own actual race." Ferrucci admitted to me that the on-track incident was his fault. "I made a mistake," Ferrucci said. "When they called him outside, in my mirror, I looked over, and when I turned in — you can see that I visibly missed the turn in — and I just got super tight. "And when I tried to snap the car around on the throttle and brake, we happened to just touch perfectly mid-corner. And you can see the car straighten back out into him. And at that point, I was completely turned as far left as I could get it and I just couldn't get the car to rotate." It is hard for these two drivers to agree on what was a mistake and what was intentional. Ferrucci believes Daly brake-checked him on pit road during the race. Daly said his speed limiter didn't latch, and he had to hit the brakes. Ferrucci theorized that since INDYCAR penalizes for contact on pit road, the fact he wasn't penalized for running into Daly on pit road indicates Daly did it on purpose. "They can see in his data — him hitting the brakes going down the hill as a brake check," Ferrucci said. Daly's view: "You can make up your own reality." Ferrucci is 10th in the series standings, and Daly is 18th. However, Daly acknowledges Ferrucci has had speed and is having a solid season. "I still believe he's going to severely injure someone, a driver or maybe even someone else, just because of a pure lack of thought," Daly said on the podcast. Both drivers are expected to be good this weekend at Iowa. Daly was one of the fastest at the test a couple of weeks ago. "He's a good oval racer and so am I," Ferrucci told me. "But if he doesn't think that memories are short, then he has something else coming. "And I know how to outsmart him on an oval. I've done it before. It'll be fun. I'm looking forward to it."
