Roger Penske's integrity-first approach rocks the racing world as Team Penske faces unprecedented sanctions just days before the Indianapolis 500. We break down exactly what happened—modified attenuators on Josef Newgarden and Will Power's cars sent both championship contenders to the back of the grid, while three top Penske executives were fired. The technical violation might seem minor to casual fans (smoothing an edge on a safety component), but as we explain, it represents a significant breach of trust from racing's most respected team owner.The timing couldn't be worse for Newgarden, who was pursuing a historic three-peat at the Indy 500. We discuss how this follows another technical violation discovered in April regarding improper access to push-to-pass systems, creating a troubling pattern for the team that owns both the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the IndyCar Series itself.Beyond the racing scandal, we explore Mercedes-Benz's strategic expansion in Atlanta, where the German automaker is doubling down by relocating 500 jobs and opening a multi-million dollar R&D center—a counter-intuitive move as they slash costs globally. We also dive into Ford Motor Company's explosive lawsuit against California lawyers allegedly running a massive billing fraud scheme under the state's Lemon Law, costing the automaker approximately $20 million annually over five years.Our "This Week in Auto History" segment highlights fascinating milestones, including Team Lotus entering Formula One in 1958, the founding of Buick Motors in 1903, and the establishment of the first auto repair shop in the US in 1899. Whether you're a racing enthusiast, automotive history buff, or simply enjoy hearing candid conversations about cars, this episode delivers insight, expertise, and entertainment in equal measure.Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

What happens when you love a car so much you keep it for half a century? Steve Larsen knows. As our special guest this week, he shares the incredible journey chronicled in his book "My Heart Has Been In It From the Start," featuring what he calls his "Yellow Trilogy" - three iconic yellow vehicles that paralleled major chapters in his life.Steve's story begins with a 1969 Lotus Elan he purchased at 21 and kept for 50 years. The conversation takes an unexpected turn when Steve reveals how life's compartments rarely intersect - his motorcycle journalism readers know nothing of his business career, while his business associates have no clue about his three open-heart surgeries. This reflection strikes a chord with all of us on the show, recognizing how our automotive passions often exist in their own separate universes from other parts of our identities.The episode shifts gears with Don's detailed review of the 2024 Ford Ranger Raptor. From its impressive 3.0-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost engine pumping out 405 horsepower to its Fox shocks providing exceptional off-road capability, Don examines what makes this midsize truck special. With a starting price of $57,065 for the Raptor trim and $32,670 for the base model, it competes directly with the Toyota Tacoma TRD, Jeep Gladiator, and Chevy Colorado ZR2 Bison.Jeff lightens the mood with his Motor Minute segment, reporting on the inaugural "Wiener 500" race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, where all six regional Oscar Mayer Wienermobiles competed in a two-lap spectacle, reaching speeds of up to 65 mph. Between the puns and laughter, there's a genuine appreciation for automotive culture in all its forms.Whether you're fascinated by life-long car relationships, considering a new midsize truck, or just enjoy our automotive adventures, this episode connects the vehicles we drive to the people we become.

His name is synonymous with sports in the 70's. You didn't have to follow racing to know who AJ Foyt was. He's a part of Americana and in 1975 he was looking to win his 4th Indy 500. A week earlier, he was on the cover of Sports Illustrated after winning the pole position in true Foyt fashion. His first lap in qualifying was a blistering 195.313 mph and his 4-lap average of 193.975 secured the pole position in Indianapolis. But rain and Bobby Unser had other plans… a downpour ended the race after just 174 of the 200 laps, and Unser was awarded the victory with 1974 champion Johnny Rutherford finishing 2nd and AJ a disappointing 3rd… taking it all in was a kid who grew up just north of the famous racetrack and attended his first race at the age of 6 in 1966… Scott Gauger hasn't missed an Indy 500 since, including the '75 race that saw Mother Nature end the race before it could properly come to it's scheduled conclusion. Gauger grew up around racing and started working at Indianapolis Motor Speedway when he was just 13. 5 years later in 1978, he took his first official position with an IndyCar team, and almost 50 years later, he's still a part of the Old Brickyard, working on two winning Indy 500 teams… 2016 He worked for the Andretti-Herta Autosport team that won the checkered flag for the 100th running of the Indy 500 with Alexander Rossi behind the wheel… and a year later, he was with Andretti Autosport when Takuma Sato was the first to cross the finish line. And while Gauger works officially for separate IndyCar teams, his unofficial position is Ambassador of the Indy 500. He gives tours, gets tickets for kids, and promotes the race 24/7, 365 days a year. On the Past Our Prime podcast, Gauger tells us about how he grew up near 3-time Indy 500 winner Louis Meyer, who is widely known for starting the annual tradition of drinking mile after winning at Indy… Gauger talks about the greats and says AJ Foyt is the best racer of all-time, and the first person he ever saw hav a personalized license plate… He tells us about drinking the milk after winning in '16 and again in '17 and he tells us which famous actor was the best racer of the bunch… if you know racing, it won't be a surprise. And Gauger tells us why the racers of today aren't as well-known as the ones we grew up watching 50 years ago. The Indy 500. It's as American as it gets… and so is Scott Gauger, Mr. Indy 500 on the Past Our Prime podcast. Give us a review and a download if you would and share it with your friends.
