Tony Quiroga is the editor-in-chief of Car and Driver. For the last 18 years, his magazine has rented Virginia International Raceway once a year. They've borrowed the best new fast cars, from hot hatches to exotics. And each time, they've spent three days—normal people, not pro drivers—lapping nonstop, looking for time. Sound like a dream day? A pile of stress? Tony is an old friend of INTC, and he says C/D's “Lightning Lap” event is… both! This show's format rotates weekly, because squirrel. Are we doing a run of guest episodes this fall because it sounded like fun? We are!  Related Trivia: Sam and Tony once worked together Car and Driver. Later, they worked together at Road & Track. Then it was C/D again. If time is a flat circle, then car magazines are a… flat skidpad, I guess?

The growth and popularity of Formula 1 racing is one of the great marketing stories of the past five years, and on this week's episode Jim is going behind the scenes to understand why. His guest this week on The CMO Podcast is Louise McEwen, the Chief Marketing Officer of McLaren Racing, the global leader in high-performance supercar production, and elite motorsports. Founded in 1963 by racer, engineer and entrepreneur Bruce McLaren, the company is formed of McLaren Automotive, which hand-builds lightweight supercars; and a majority stake in McLaren Racing which competes in the Formula 1 World Championship and INDYCAR in the US. McLaren is based in the UK, and is one of the top independent companies in the world. The McLaren team is currently in first place in the 2024 Formula 1 series. Louise has known for a long time that she wanted a career in sports & entertainment; Louise studied Sports Science and Social Science at Loughborough University in the UK, before joining sports marketing firm Octagon in 1999. Following Octagon, Louise spent nine years at Vodafone, where she worked with McLaren, before eventually joining the racing company in 2017. Louise was appointed CMO in March 2024. As the racing world eagerly anticipates the Las Vegas Grand Prix on November 23rd, Louise welcomes Jim on the track to talk about how storytelling can reshape a brand.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Conor Daly is back this week with one pressing question: where did all the IndyCar drivers go? He and co-host Chase Holden discuss the lack of social media presence a lot of the paddock has displayed since the season finale in Nashville. They also debate whether race fans having access to drivers' personal lives is good for the growth of the sport. Conor brings up the discourse surrounding NASCAR's Playoff system and how it has kept NASCAR relevant in a sports market dominated by football. They also respond to Romain Grosjean's spicy comments about how he will likely be sitting out next season due to a lack of funding after one of the best seasons in his career. Longtime NASCAR competitor and NBC broadcaster Parker Kligerman joins the show to discuss his decision to leave the pursuit of full-time racing to further his career in television. He and Conor relate on the ups and downs of being underfunded in racing, and how the glimmers of hope often drive several more years in the grind. Parker goes into what he describes as a symbiotic relationship between racing on Saturdays and broadcasting on Sundays, where he's able to take anecdotes from his time behind the wheel that help him on camera. He also provides some insight into what else he'd like to try in motorsports before hanging up the helmet for good. Finally, the guys tackle the ever burning question of how to help spread the word of IndyCar.

Tonight, Kevin and Curt start by talking about the NASCAR Championship finale, and how Joey Logano has won yet another championship. They also rack their brains to find ways to have IndyCar seasons last longer, but not be hindered by football. They also honor Bobby Allison and talk about Gabby Chavez returning for an IndyCar test.  Later, the two talk about Jacob Abel's likelihood of stepping up to IndyCar after his Indy NXT career. They talk about which driver will take over the final seat at Ganassi for the Indy 500, and if Abel or Jamie Chadwick will make the race.  To round out the first hour, Kevin previews hour 2.  In the second hour of the show, Kevin and Curt talk about the surprise success NASCAR coverage on the CW has had. They talk about Penske's best season overall, and Curt talks about some of the top seasons, including 1972, 1979, and 1994. They also talk about the likelihood of having an IndyCar playoff (not likely).  Later, Curt and Kevin talk about Michael Cannon leaving AJ Foyt Racing, and also talk about engineering changes at different teams across the series, and where Sting Ray Robb will go.  To end the show, they talk about Penske's bid to acquire half the stake in the Long Beach Grand Prix acquired by Jerry Forsythe earlier in the year. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

PIT PASS INDY – SEASON 4, EPISODE 58 – Team Penske's “Season for the Ages” with Roger Penske November 12, 2024 Show host Bruce Martin celebrates Team Penske's “Season for the Ages” as Team Penske nearly completed a sweep of 2024.  Penske won the NASCAR Cup Series Championship for the third season in a row, the fifth in team history, when Joey Logano won the NASCAR Cup Series Championship with a victory in the final race of the season at Phoenix Raceway on November 10, 2024. It's the first time Roger Penske's team won the Indianapolis 500 with Josef Newgarden, the NASCAR Cup Series Championship with Logano, the IMSA WeatherTech Sports Car Title with Porsche Penske Motorsport and the World Endurance Championship (WEC) Drivers' title, also with Porsche Penske Motorsport. Ironically, the only season championship that Penske didn't win in 2024 was the NTT IndyCar Series Championship. Penske is the owner of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the Indianapolis 500 and IndyCar. His latest title is the first time his NASCAR Cup Series team has finished 1-2 in the championship.  It was the third-straight NASCAR Cup Series Championship for Penske. In the 76-year history of NASCAR, he is just the third team owner to win at least three NASCAR Cup Series Championships in a row. Penske joins legends Junior Johnson and Rick Hendrick in that category. For more INDYCAR coverage, follow Bruce Martin at X, previously known as Twitter, at @BruceMartin_500

Once, humans set foot on the moon. Some steely eyed engineer types did some math and took some gambles, and then some steely eyed pilot types sat on a big firework and flew off. Huge achievement, neat space candle. And that plan—the *strategy*—made it possible. Related: A host of this show is a pro race engineer. Jeff Braun has won the 12 Hours of Sebring eight times and the 24 Hours of Daytona twice. His résumé includes a whopping ten IMSA / Grand-Am championships. Race strategy makes Jeff's job go 'round. So we had him explain it! This show's format rotates weekly, because squirrel. We call this format “Instant Expert.” RELATED TRIVIA: Once, Sam found himself at the end of a grueling enduro. It was the last corner of the last lap; the win was make-or-break. In the heat of battle, he made a strategic choice—he took out two drivers at once. And hey, those little girls were really unhappy about that, but they were also Sam's nine- and eleven-year-old daughters, and that's how the MarioKart cookie crumbles, rugrats! Boom goes the red-shell dynamite!

Last week saw Kyffin Simpson confirmed as the third and final Chip Ganassi Racing driver for 2025, pairing him with Scott Dixon and Alex Palou. Prema Racing has solidified its two driver line-up by adding former Formula 3 Champion Robert Shwartzman to its operation to join Callum Ilott.  Conor also sheds light on why teams like Penske and Arrow-McLaren are testing unsigned drivers in the off season despite already having a set line-up for 2025.Open wheel legend and three-time Indianapolis 500 winner Dario Franchitti joins the show to talk about his post-driving role at Chip Ganassi Racing and how the current day of IndyCar compares to his era behind the wheel. Dario comments that when he watches races at home as a fan, he believes that IndyCar's on-track product is second to none. He speaks on the open wheel cars of the past and how the high-horsepower was a challenge for drivers to deal with. He and Conor relate on how the old IndyCar engines sound iconic and wish there was a way for the current hybrid systems to be tuned to sound similar. Dario explains what his week to week duties are at CGR and how he works with current drivers in the paddock to improve performance. He also reflects on his 2006 season in NASCAR and how it humbled and inspired him to become a better racer upon his return to the open wheel world. 

Tonight, Kevin and Curt give their opinions on who is the most likely to win the championship in 2025, and is there anyone who can beat Alex Palou? They also talk about how inconsistent Josef Newgarden has been the past few seasons outside of the 500. They also talk about how Ganassi will be tough to beat as a team in 2025.  Later, they go over some open seats across the series, and the driver pool that teams can pick from. They discuss the lineup at Juncos Hollinger, and if Conor Daly is the driver that can help them build their program to a competitive level, and Dale Coyne's lineup.  To round out the first hour, Kevin previews hour 2.  In the second hour of the show, Kevin and Curt talk about some upcoming IndyCar tests. Enzo and Pietro Fittipaldi are both brought up, and how they may participate in IndyCar next season. They also talk about Felippe Nasr getting the opportunity to test a Penske IndyCar. They talk about the situation at Foyt, and how they can be a serious contender next season.  Later, Kevin talks a little bit about the NASCAR championship, and if drivers manipulating the races by blockading the racetrack is good for the sport. They also talk about the return of Days of Thunder.  To end the show, Kevin goes over what we missed. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The 700-horse shrieker from the first Japanese car to win Le Mans! BEEOWHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!  Except… louder. Nastier.

This show's format rotates weekly, because squirrel. This episode is our monthly deep dive into an epic moment from racing history. In this case, the time an underfunded Japanese carmaker and a strange little engine design went to France and slayed 200-mph giants. Related Trivia: Sam once track-tested a real live Mazda 787.

What that looked like, I had no idea. I just knew that I couldn't allow my children to be captivated by the streets or people. I made up my mind that what happened to me, I didn't want them to use as an excuse for them not succeeding in life.” - Sabrina Greenlee  “There were so many different things that happened to me, and each time I got up. No matter what happened, I stood for myself. I stood in my truth.” - Sabrina Greenlee “Once I found the presence of God and He met me where I was, everything turned around. But you first have to surrender and give God your life. In the end, He'll give you the glory for your story.” - Sabrina Greenlee  “It kind of seems that how I was challenged in the racing world, I was also challenged in my faith. I said a long time ago that I would not be a racer if it wasn't for my faith. It's my foundation that I lean on, and it's the thing that I call to and find purpose in.” - Sting Ray Robb  “I had the realization and clarity and peace that came from knowing that [the race] wasn't in my control. I could trust God's sovereignty.” - Sting Ray Robb “I'm doing my best with racing to glorify Him and use this as a platform to reach others and provide some form of excellence that people can see a reflection of God through.” - Sting Ray Robb  “God has called us in a direction, and it's our job to hitch ourselves to that direction and go with what He's telling us to do.” - Sting Ray Robb   ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!

Despite being a hugely versatile racing driver, who competed in Formula 3000, IndyCar, Sports Cars and Touring Cars, Christian Danner was unable to showcase his full potential in Formula 1 in the mid-late 1980s. During an era characterised by poor reliability and pre-qualifying, he either failed to start many of the races he entered, or he failed to finish them. But that certainly doesn't mean he's short of some fascinating tales from his time in the sport. Speaking to Tom Clarkson, Christian remembers becoming the first F1 driver to be disqualified for dangerous driving and how Ayrton Senna leapt to his defence. He also talks about the opposition he faced from the media back home in Germany, why Zakspeed teammate Martin Brundle kept him on his toes , how he climbed from P26 on the grid to a career-best finish of P4 at the US Grand Prix in 1989, and much more.

Conor Daly's 2024 racing season has officially come to a close as he was once again in NASCAR Truck competition at Homestead Miami Speedway this past weekend. He joins co-host Chase Holden to discuss why he struggled behind the wheel with limited practice and how difficult the Truck is to adapt to in comparison to its NASCAR Xfinity counterparts. They also chat about Pato O'Ward's massive, warm welcoming at the Formula One Mexico Grand Prix and how the huge showing at his personal appearance is a great thing for the future of IndyCar. Also, they ponder if this huge display of support for the IndyCar superstar will expedite the process of getting the series back to Mexico for a championship points race.The return of the People's Podium segment welcomes past guest Kevin Beck to the table to give his thoughts on the 2024 IndyCar season. Kevin makes the point that IndyCar had a great window of opportunity to find new viewership during the Formula One summer break this year, as the series put on some compelling races after the Indianapolis 500. The guys also discuss Pato O'Ward's fan support from Mexico and how it can help elevate a sport similarily to Ayrton Senna in Formula One during the mid to late 1980s and Caitlyn Clark currently in the WNBA. Kevin argues that IndyCar needs to study what the WNBA is doing to market Clark's popularity and how the series is capitalizing on the player's stardom to help elevate its overall presence. Finally, the guys discuss what an IndyCar in Mexico could mean for the series and how it will be viewed on an international scale.
