It is finally time for the Greatest Spectacle in Racing, and our resident open wheeler Conor Daly will be rolling off P11 this coming Sunday. He joins co-host Chase Holden to break down all of the action from practice week and qualifying, which saw many surprises and breath-taking crashes. No surprise of course was bigger than rookie Robert Shwartzman putting his Prema entry on the pole. But, the news that Josef Newgarden and Will Power had failed tech and were being penalized also rocked the paddock. Conor gives listeners a detailed look at how his final qualifying attempt unfolded, which originally placed him in 13th, just a few tenths away from locking into the Fast 12. He also explains how on edge the cars are this year, and the major differences between being in qualifying trim and race trim.Pole winner Robert Shwartman joins the show to reflect on his historic feat of becoming the first rookie to capture P1 since 1983. He talks listeners through making the Fast 12 and the feeling he had laying down a perfect lap that held up for the top speed of the day. Robert explains that after the hardship he's faced in the Formula One ranks, it was incredible to feel the support from the crowd at Indianapolis. Conor and Chase also get to know Robert, the person outside of the race car, as they discuss his interest in hip hop music and how he is an aspiring musician himself. The guys chat about Prema team members like Ryan Briscoe being an asset and how Robert's car is feeling going into the big race on Sunday.

His Formula One career was mainly with underfunded teams however he managed a podium finish at the USGP at Indianapolis. Sato has always been a popular guy at Long Beach. We caught up with him soon after the LBMWoF ceremony and he filled us in on his preparation for the Indy 500 with Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing, stories from the past, and his preparation for this year's ‘Greatest Spectacle of Racing.' He also gave us an update on ‘With You Japan' which started as a relief effort due to the effects of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan back in 2011. He's humble, respectful and nice off the track, yet his “No attack, no chance” attitude on the track makes him a fierce competitor. Enjoy!

The hybrid era is upon us, and Conor Daly had boots on the ground at Mid-Ohio to take in this historic moment in IndyCar history firsthand. He joins co-host Chase Holden to chat about what unfolded in the race, which saw Pato O'Ward take a hard fought victory home over the dominant Alex Palou. Conor shares the observation that many drivers seem to be struggling with how the hybrid system changes the balance of the race car and that he noticed more pit road stalling than ever before. The guys also make a case for better IndyCar victory lane celebrations and help listeners get ready for the upcoming weekend in Iowa by making their podium predictions. Also, Conor shares some exciting news that he'll be back behind the wheel next weekend in Indianapolis for some NASCAR competition.Mid-Ohio race winner Pato O'Ward joins the show and fills listeners in on how he was able to overtake Alex Palou late in the race and hold him off for his sixth career IndyCar victory. He explains that the new hybrid system doesn't give the same indication that the driver is in first gear as they are used to, causing Palou to be delayed in leaving his pit stall and allowing Pato to get by into the lead. Pato also shares the fascinating story of how his racing career nearly came to an end when he was denied a FIA Super License and how he ended up taking the seat he currently occupies at Arrow-McLaren. Finally, Pato shares insight to his heartbreaking defeat in this year's running of the Indianapolis 500 and how he was able to wrangle an ill-handling racecar to nearly winning the Greatest Spectacle in Motorsports.

Conor Daly returns from finishing 10th in the 2024 Indianapolis 500 to join co-host Chase Holden and recap the action from this year's “Greatest Spectacle in Motorsports”. After experiencing an electric environment at Carb Day and Legends Day leading up to Sunday, Conor fills listeners in on what it was like participating in the first rain delayed 500 in his career. Chase chimes in with his perspective from the grandstand and how impactful the opening ceremonies of the race are for fans in attendance. Conor also gives a detailed breakdown of what his race was like behind the steering wheel, including taking advantage of an early caution to use a different pit strategy and a couple of hair-raising technical difficulties. Josef Newgarden joins the show as part of his Indy 500 winning media tour. Josef details his own personal experience during the rain delay and what his team's plan was to deal with the uncertain conditions the race had due to the later start time. Conor and Josef relate on how their cars were handling throughout the event and if Team Penske made the decision to trim out at any points to combat the cooling track temperatures. Josef praises the ability to use the outside lane effectively and credits two prominent race lines as being a major contributing factor to the on track action. Finally, the guys chat about the environment at the track and how each year the event seems to feel bigger than the preceding 500.

They also react to the thrilling three-wide finish in last weekend's NASCAR Cup race at Atlanta. During a new, refreshed version of the “Podium” segment, Conor and Chase welcome motorsports social media personality Kevin Beck to the table to debate three current topics in the sport today. They discuss NASCAR vs. F1 online discourse, F1 and Liberty Media's copyright infringement of the “Greatest Spectacle” slogan and IndyCar banning Josef Newgarden's last lap snake maneuver at this year's 500. After the break, Force Indy/HMD Motorsports Indy NXT racer Myles Rowe joins the program to fill listeners in on his unconventional path through auto racing. Myles explains that one of his biggest challenges on the Road to Indy has been managing expectations, both inside and outside of the helmet. He also fills listeners in on the development of the Force Indy team, which he has been with since its inception in 2021. Myles talks about his entry into the racing world, which came through video games and a local indoor kart league. Miraculously, he has managed to turn this unusual approach into a promising career, as he carries the 2023 USF Pro 2000 Championship crown into this year's Indy NXT season.
