Podcast appearances and mentions of Chip Ganassi Racing

Marcus Ericsson is the 2022 Indianapolis 500 winner. He came to the NTT INDYCAR SERIES from Formula One. Spending most of his career stateside at Chip Ganassi Racing, Ericsson scored multiple wins for the team, of course, none bigger than Indy. He joined the Andretti Global team in 2024 and in the first race at St. Pete he qualified in the Firestone Fast Six. We caught up with Ericsson at the following Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach media luncheon where he would earn a fifth place finish. He talks about what happened at St. Pete, hybrid testing, and getting back to the Speedway. A humble and friendly guy, this driver is really good on street circuits and at the Brickyard. He'll be aiming for his second win at Indy in just over a week. Enjoy!

Richard Childress Racing Crew Chief Randall Burnett joins Davey Segal this week (5:40) to discuss how the 2025 season has been thus far, working with Kyle Busch, what he's learned from the two-time Cup Series champion and what the public misunderstands about Rowdy. They also discuss the one year anniversary of the infamous fight at North Wilkesboro Speedway (and Davey's assist in helping Kyle), his journey to Cup Series shot caller from the St. Louis area and how/why he opted to forgo his driving career to pursue an engineering degree at UNC Charlotte. Burnett also explains what it's like working for Hall of Famer Richard Childress, what it's like when he comes on the radio unprovoked, working with Kyle Larson in his rookie season at Chip Ganassi Racing, almost sweeping the crowned jewels in 2010 with Jamie McMurray, his son racing at Millbridge Speedway, Burnett's Mario Kart skills and more. Plus, Davey recaps Kansas, looks ahead to the All-Star Race and Papa Segal pays homage to Johnny Mantz.

Those who made the short trip out to the 1.33 mile concrete oval were rewarded with a far better race than the makeshift street circuit could have provided. Even though title challenger Will Power's race (and belts) unraveled early on, there was plenty of high-speed action as recently relocated hometown hero Colton Herta navigated a late traffic jam to earn his first victory on an oval.In a somewhat anti-climatic fashion, Alex Palou earned his 3rd IndyCar title...an incredible feat when you consider the competitiveness of the IndyCar driver lineup, the equality of the cars, and the level of competition between and within  teams. We think The IndyCar Fan Podcast captures the key moments and strategies of the Big Machine Music City Grand Prix. Give it a listen....and if you like it, let us know!!

Esta semana el Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1 cumple ya la friolera de 800 programas. Casi nada. Así que, aparte de concluir con la preparación para el GP de Azerbaijan, la final de la Indy en Nashville y el resumen de lo ocurrido en el Acrópolis, toca noticia importante. Cambios (a mejor) en el Podcast. A la iniciativa que celebra los 800 programas se le dio el pistoletazo de salida la semana pasada. Es el proyecto de futuro del Podcast. Y es que, a partir de este momento, vamos a tener 4 episodios, como mínimo, por temporada: los dos de siempre, sin cambio alguno, más dos programas más para aquellos a los que les guste tanto el programa que quieran apoyarlo, haciéndose “fans” en iVoox. Ojalá haya muchos fans, porque entonces no serán 4 programas a la semana, sino alguno más. La Fórmula 1 termina su periplo por Europa. La Fórmula 1 termina su temporada europea “técnicamente” fuera de Europa, en Azerbaijan, en el Cáucaso, con un circuito urbano altamente exigente para los frenos, largo y muy rápido. El índice de dificultad (para los frenos) es de 4 sobre 5, debido a la presencia de 3 curvas iniciales de 90 grados, en las que los frenos sufren un gran estrés: más de 1,9 segundos y 150 kg de carga sobre el pedal por cada una. Hay once zonas de frenado, seis de las cuales están clasificadas como Duras y tres como Medias. En una vuelta, los frenos se utilizan durante más de 19 segundos. Horarios: un poco más temprano de lo habitual. Para disfrutar de este Gran Premio, previo al nocturno de Singapur, también en horario europeo, que, por otra parte, dará comienzo a una pausa de un mes en la competición, tendremos que estar atentos, el viernes, a las 11:30h y a las 15:00h para las dos primeras sesiones de libres. El sábado tendremos la tercera sesión de entrenamientos a las 10:30h. Y la clasificación a las 14:00h. El domingo la carrera verá apagarse los semáforos a las 13:00h. La final de la IndyCar en un “Superspeedway”. El Superspeedway de Nashville es conocido por su alta intensidad, la acción rueda a rueda, y como final de temporada, será la primera final en óvalo en una década para el Campeonato de IndyCar. La Indy llega a su carrera final con todo en el aire. Palou tiene 33 puntos sobre Power, pero todo puede pasar en un superspeedway, los óvalos más grandes y rápidos en Estados Unidos. No se puede servir más emoción, cerca ya de los problemas cardíacos. Llegamos a la última carrera como nos gusta: con lucha por el título. Por el título se enfrentan Alex Palou, de Chip Ganassi Racing, y Will Power, de Team Penske. Palou llevará una ventaja de 33 puntos al Gran Premio Big Machine Music City presentado por Gainbridge. Scott McLaughlin, del equipo Penske, es matemáticamente elegible para ganar la Astor Challenge Cup, pero quedará eliminado tan sólo con que Palou comience la carrera de 206 vueltas del domingo. Palou puede asegurarse su segundo título consecutivo de la temporada y el tercero en cuatro años terminando noveno o mejor. Power tendrá que terminar entre los tres primeros para tener alguna oportunidad de superar al español. Las esperanzas de título de Power pasan por el hecho de que el equipo Penske ha dominado las carreras en óvalo esta temporada. Palou todavía busca la primera victoria en óvalo de su carrera, aunque ha terminado segundo en dos ocasiones, incluida la carrera de Iowa que ganó Power a principios de esta temporada. Si la Fórmula 1 está impresionantemente competitiva, reñida y entretenida este año, con subidas y bajadas de diferentes equipos, que aún aspiran a título, la final de la Indycar hará que este fin de semana tengamos, todo el tiempo, la adrenalina a tope.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. is joined in the studio by former NASCAR racer and Driver Performance Manager for Chevrolet Racing Josh Wise. The two discuss Josh's post driving career, and his influential role in coaching NASCAR's top athletes.After moving into the stock car ranks as a champion dirt sprint car racer, Josh spent ten years moving through the NASCAR ranks before finding his calling to become a driver development coach and manager. Josh admits that though he was the first driver in Toyota's development program, he was ill-prepared for the world of fendered racing and feels he failed during his time behind the wheel in NASCAR. In 2016, he came to the realization that he was ready to end his pursuit of being a race car driver and wanted to move into a position to help other drivers unlock their full potential. Josh explains that after setting his sights on this goal, he struck up a conversation with Max Jones at Chip Ganassi Racing and pitched the concept to him. Max suggested he work with a young and upcoming racer in their ranks who needed help with focus, who just happened to be Kyle Larson. Wise Optimization hit the ground running with Larson, Jamie McMurray, Tyler Reddick and Brennan Poole and quickly grew from a single-man operation focusing on workout regimens to an all-encompassing driver overhaul program. Josh attended night school to earn a degree in psychology so he could help drivers with their lives away from the track, which he found to be a major key in growth potential. Today, the operation is a facet of Team Chevy and helps some of the most successful drivers in stock car racing hone their craft.21+ and present in North Carolina. Opt in req.

The 1994 Indycar season was one of the most significant seasons in US open-wheel racing's recent history, and much of that is down to the arrival of Reynard. The British company's success in single-seater racing was translated dramatically into Indycar, as Michael Andretti won its first race at Surfers Paradise, sending shockwaves through the motorsport landscape. The result not only broke the previous duopoly enjoyed by Lola and Penske - the latter subsequently becoming a Reynard customer - but also established Chip Ganassi Racing as a winning force for the first time, while Jacques Villeneuve also emerged as a star of the future later in the season with a Reynard, taking his first win for the Forsythe/Green team. Thirty years on, that breakout story is retold by company founder Adrian Reynard in a special edition of the Autosport Podcast to coincide with the latest issue of Autosport magazine's Engineering supplement. Joined by Autosport Plus editor James Newbold and Autosport magazine deputy editor Marcus Simmons, Reynard discusses how his driving ambitions were crucial in his journey to becoming a successful constructor, the mantras that made Reynard Cars a hit, and how a disastrous attempt to enter Formula 1 proved the catalyst for his entry to Indycar.

As the IndyCar season rolls to its midway point and prepares for the introduction of the new hybrid system, Conor Daly and co-host Chase Holden are back on Speed Street with all the latest news. This past weekend saw the IndyCar paddock take on the famed Laguna Seca Raceway and friend of the show Alex Palou once again found victory lane. Conor and Chase recap all the action, which included some teammate beef, off-roading, uncharacteristic Penske struggles and a whole slew of penalties. They also discuss how David Malukas and Nolan Siegel fared in their returns to IndyCar action and how NASCAR's rain delay in New Hampshire ultimately affected IndyCar's weekend ratings return.Race winner Alex Palou joins the show to discuss how he returned to victory lane for the third time this season after capturing the pole position. Conor asks how Alex managed to stay in front on the late restarts and hold off charges from Colton Herta and the rest of the field. Chase inquires if Alex has had any off-road moments at Laguna Seca in the simulator and how he's feeling about his chances at the upcoming oval races. They also chat about Alex's Indianapolis 500 performance and the upcoming debut of the hybrid system at Mid-Ohio. Finally, the guys ask if Alex would consider a new victory lane celebration and how he is enjoying fatherhood.

Conor Daly and co-host Chase Holden return to Speed Street after a wild weekend in the streets of Detroit. In a race that saw Scott Dixon put on another fuel saving clinic to bring home his 58th career IndyCar victory, there was no love lost amongst the rest of the field. Conor and Chase dig into the latest Santino Ferrucci spat with Andretti Global teammates Kyle Kirkwood and Colton Herta, which bubbled up during an incident in the second practice session of the weekend where Santino felt Kirkwood blocked him unnecessarily while he was on a fast mock qualifying run. This marks the latest in an ongoing saga of driver feuds surrounding Ferrucci, and Conor gives listeners more insight to the feelings in the IndyCar paddock regarding the AJ Foyt Racing pilot. Scott Dixon joins the show to chat about how he survived the chaos and how the layout of the Detroit circuit leads to aggressive, caution-laden events. While this most recent running saw 47-laps run under caution, Scott gives a few ideas for changes that could be made that may help eliminate some of the contact between cars in the tight turns of the street course. Chase also pitches the idea of the IndyCar Series returning to the highbanks of Michigan International, to which Scott replies he's game as long as the fans follow them there. Scott and Conor discuss their time spent racing each other in the 108th running of the Indianapolis 500, and Scott weighs in on his contact with Ryan Hunter-Reay. Finally, the guys preview the upcoming weekend in Road America and Scott looks forward to his chaotic schedule immediately following when he'll fly to France to begin to prepare for the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
