Motorsports has always thrived off of the personalities of its competitors. On this episode of the Gluckcast, motorsports journalist Jeff Gluck takes a peek under the helmet and helps paint a picture of some of the most compelling driver-related stories in the sport today. On the heels of a grueling afternoon at COTA that saw him pass out from heat exhaustion, AJ Allmendinger chats with Jeff about his grit and fortitude, and not wanting to give up despite a cool shirt failure during the race. Ty Dillon joins the show to help listeners understand why Richard Childress Racing is taking a chance on the unproven talent of Cleetus McFarland. IndyCar driver and personality Conor Daly calls in to chat about the star power of Pato O'Ward and how it's helping the series rise to new popularity on an international scale. Finally, legendary film director John Dahl joins the show to talk about the importance of the NASCAR Full Speed series and how it helps to humanize drivers to race fans and viewers.

Today’s Best of Features: (00:00-10:09) – GoldAndBlack.com’s Brian Neubert rounds out the first hour of the show to discuss last night’s nail-biting victory for the Purdue Boilermakers against the Northwestern Wildcats. Jake asks Brian what type of team could really give Purdue fits in the NCAA Tournament, if there is a defensive coverage that Braden Smith hasn’t seen during his collegiate career, and why C.J. Cox had a career night last night in Evanston (10:09-21:43) – IndyCar Radio Network Driver Analyst, Davey Hamilton, joins Query & Company to preview this weekend’s race for IndyCar in Phoenix for the first time since 2018. Jake also asks Davey about what makes Alex Palou so dominant, if he has ever seen a driver in a zone like Palou is right now and goes back to losing out to Helio Castroneves in the 2021 Indy 500 because that could have changed his approach in the cockpit. (21:43-30:04) – Former Fighting Irish & NFL defensive back, Jeff Burris, calls into the program to share how Holtz recruited him to Notre Dame, if he ever addressed his one failure in front of the guys, and shares what he’s doing now that mimics what his college coach would preach to him as a player.Support the show: https://1075thefan.com/query-and-company/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

(00:00-28:57) – Query & Company opens on a Thursday with Jake Query and producer Eddie Garrison talking about Bennedict Mathurin’s performance last night against the Indiana Pacers in his first game against the team that drafted him. Jake also comments on the wins for Purdue and Indiana last night in their second to final regular season game before the Big Ten Tournament. (28:57-34:32) – Whilst at the gym last night, someone approached Jake to have a conversation about the Indianapolis Colts, specifically the futures of Alec Pierce and Daniel Jones. He shares what that conversation entailed because there was a different aspect to the situation that he hadn’t considered. (34:32-45:05) – GoldAndBlack.com’s Brian Neubert rounds out the first hour of the show to discuss last night’s nail-biting victory for the Purdue Boilermakers against the Northwestern Wildcats. Jake asks Brian what type of team could really give Purdue fits in the NCAA Tournament, if there is a defensive coverage that Braden Smith hasn’t seen during his collegiate career, and why C.J. Cox had a career night last night in Evanston. (45:05-1:09:13) – The NCAA Tournament is just around the corner and it got Jake thinking. What if there was another way for a team to receive an automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament? He proposes his idea to Eddie. Plus, could AJ Dybansta stay at BYU for another season? Jake claims that you shouldn’t rule that possibility out.

(1:21:52-1:27:52) – Hour number two of Query & Company concludes with Jake and Eddie discussing the Chicago Bears trading D.J. Moore to the Buffalo Bills. Is that good news for the Colts?

The honeymoon phase has come and gone, but don't get it twisted…we still love motorsports. We also love love and we can admit when we're a little jealous of a wedding as glamorous as Charles and Alexandra's. IndyCar finally started and Emma would like to formally apologize to Dale Coyne for doubting them, but we're keeping an eye on you...and also Cadillac F1 because I guess they're a thing now??

Mientras la Fórmula 1 centra el foco en Melbourne, el automovilismo ya ha dejado un golpe sobre la mesa en Estados Unidos. El segundo episodio de la semana del Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1 nos cuenta como, en St. Petersburg, Alex Palou inauguró la temporada de IndyCar con una victoria de autoridad que confirma su estatus de referencia absoluta. Lo que hizo Palou. No partió desde la pole, gestionó el primer stint tras McLaughlin y Ericsson, ejecutó un overcut impecable y, una vez en cabeza, impuso un ritmo inalcanzable. Fue un recital estratégico y de consistencia que subraya la dimensión de un piloto que, desde España, no siempre recibe la atención proporcional a su talento. Y, mientras, en Melbourne… En paralelo, el paddock de Fórmula 1 ya se prepara para la primera prueba real. Las nuevas normas técnicas traerán una revolución profunda en los sistemas de frenado, íntimamente ligada al aumento de potencia del MGU-K, que pasará de 120 a 350 kW. Esta mayor capacidad de regeneración alterará el reparto de frenada: el eje trasero dependerá mucho más del sistema eléctrico, permitiendo redimensionar discos y pinzas, e incluso reducir hasta un 20 % el tamaño de ciertos componentes en algunos escenarios. Brembo anticipa un panorama de soluciones divergentes entre equipos. Los discos delanteros crecerán ligeramente en diámetro, mientras que los traseros ofrecerán más opciones de tamaño y grosor. La normativa permitirá mayor libertad en el diseño de pinzas (entre dos y ocho pistones) y exigirá que el sistema trasero pueda generar hasta 2500 Nm sin ayuda del motor eléctrico en determinadas condiciones. Desafíos: técnicos y estratégicos. El equilibrio entre frenado hidráulico y regenerativo será clave, especialmente cuando las baterías estén saturadas y no puedan absorber más energía. El desafío no será solo técnico, sino estratégico: elegir el tamaño y configuración adecuados sin penalizar el peso en un coche que reducirá su masa mínima en 76 kg. Algunos equipos podrían incluso reutilizar discos en varias carreras para ahorrar gramos críticos. La combinación de aerodinámica activa y nuevos neumáticos más estrechos añadirá otra variable a la ecuación. Sea como sea, la temporada de motor está ya a pleno rendimiento: con tres carreras disputadas en la Nascar, la IndyCar recién inaugurada (y de qué manera!) y con la Fórmula 1 a las puertas en Melbourne – amén de MotoGP, que se estrenó también el fin de semana pasado – ya no tendremos tiempo para aburrirnos… si las tensiones mundiales nos dejan.

A fuel tank you shouldn't fill. Trailer brakes that might not listen when you need them most. We start with straight talk on the week's biggest recalls—Subaru's hybrid fire risk and Ford's 4.3 million-vehicle safety sweep—so you know exactly what to check, how to park, and when to expect a real fix. We cut through the noise around “over-the-air updates,” explain why module communication matters for lights and braking, and outline smart steps to protect your family and your tow.From there, we take you inside the market's mood with our “guess what it sold for” tour through Hemmings. A C3 Corvette punching to $42K, a C4 convertible slipping under $14K, a clean 442 stretching into the mid-twenties, and a '68 Bronco commanding $52.5K reveal what buyers are rewarding right now: originality, presentation, and lifestyle appeal. We also spotlight a sleeper value—a straight '85 GMC 2500 with dog-dish charm—and a '73 BMW 3.0 CS that proves design never goes out of style. If you're hunting a classic, we share the questions and documents that separate a good story from a good buy.We keep the engine warm with a quick spin through the racing slate—NASCAR at COTA, IndyCar in St. Petersburg, NHRA's Gatornationals on deck, and F1 launching in Australia—plus a lively lap through auto history, from Rudolf Diesel's patent to the Watson Roadster and Danica Patrick's breakthrough. Then we zoom out to the business lane: EV losses squeezing profit sharing at Stellantis, the optics of rising CEO compensation, and why dealership tax schemes land in court. It's a full-spectrum look at safety, value, and culture for people who live cars, drive daily, or just love a good story on wheels.Hit play, subscribe, and share with a friend who's eyeing a classic or towing this weekend.

The Freaks caught up with the newest face of Team Penske's IndyCar program, David Malukas, after he topped the speed charts during the Unser Open Test at Phoenix Raceway. The 24-year-old gets candid about living the dream and competing for one of most elite names in motorsports, on top of serving as the successor to one of the most iconic rides in open-wheel racing history. It's about time to get reacquainted with one of the hottest and fastest up-and-comers in racing!

Long-time friend of The Freaks - motorsports legend Chip Ganassi - reunites to chop it up with Kenny and Crash at Phoenix Raceway. This conversation has everything from reminiscing about the good ol' days to the dynasty run hi IndyCar team is on with Alex Palou and the No. 10 crew. It's nearly 10 minutes of fun with the legend himself!

What a FREAKin' jam-packed Sunday of motorsports! The crew debates if we're witnessing a Tyler Reddick Renaissance in NASCAR, following a historic third consecutive win to open the season, as well as if more road courses are needed on the schedule. In addition to recapping IndyCar's season-opener at St. Pete, reigning champ Alex Palou calls in to discuss his emphatic victory! Chip Ganassi and David Malukas also stop by on this revved up edition of SpeedFreaks!

Alex Palou "is back" like he never left, following an emphatic win in the 2026 IndyCar season opener at St Pete. The reigning champ takes Kenny and Crash through how he was able to run away with a statement-making, 12-second victory. He also gets honest about what could be a tricky weekend ahead at Phoenix Raceway and who he wants to be battling with for his fourth consecutive title.

…ON TODAYS PROGRAM…   ASTON MARTIN ALREADY PONDERING... THE SEASON IS ALL BUT A WASH! WILL MERCEDES PASS A COMPRESSION TEST IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE RACE? FERRARI MUST KICK OFF THE SEASON WITH A WIN IN MELBOURNE. AND… FERNANDO COULD BE IN F1 FOR ANOTHER FOUR YEARS! THIS WEEK'S NASIR HAMEED CORNER…MORE VINTAGE BANTER BETWEEN THE HOST AND NASIR…THIS WEEKS SPECIAL GUEST:  ADRIAN ZAUGH AND F1W LISTENER BURAQ SARTAG FROM TURKEY! Champ Palou Opens Season with Dominant March to St. Pete Win  ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (Sunday, March 1, 2026) – Alex Palou picked up right where he left off in 2025, opening the 2026 NTT INDYCAR SERIES season with a dominant victory in the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg. Palou won his third consecutive and fourth overall series championship last season by a whopping 196 points, an advantage of more than three races, and he and Chip Ganassi Racing showed the same swagger on a sun-splashed Sunday in Florida. SEE: Race Results Reigning event winner Palou, from Spain, cruised to his 20th career victory in just his 99th start, driving his No. 10 DHL Chip Ganassi Racing Honda to a 12.4948-second victory over the No. 3 DEX Team Penske Chevrolet of NTT P1 Award winner Scott McLaughlin. “This team keeps on improving, keeps on making new changes, and they just keep on raising the bar,” Palou said. “It's pretty impressive. It's a long season in front of us, but what a great way to start the season.” Christian Lundgaard, who started 12th, rallied to complete the podium finishers in the No. 7 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet. Kyle Kirkwood dropped from second late in the 100-lap race to finish fourth in the No. 27 JM Bullion/Gold.com Honda fielded by Andretti Global. Pato O'Ward put two Arrow McLaren cars into the top five after finishing fifth in the team's No. 5 Chevrolet. This was the first race in which INDYCAR rules mandated the use of at least two sets of the softer Firestone Firehawk alternate tire with red sidewalls, throwing an additional strategic element into the racing mix. And, as usual, Palou and longtime strategist Barry Wanser made all the right calls. The decisive moment of the race came on Laps 36 and 37. Team Penske called leader McLaughlin to the pits at the end of Lap 35, with Marcus Ericsson assuming the lead from second in the No. 28 Delaware Life Honda. Andretti Global summoned Ericsson to the pits at the end of Lap 36, with Palou taking the top spot. But instead of calling Palou to the pits on the next lap, Wanser and Palou decided to stay out until the end of Lap 38 on their original set of alternate tires in an “overcut” strategy. It worked. Palou blended back on the 14-turn, 1.8-mile temporary street circuit in front of McLaughlin and Ericsson. Once the rest of the leaders cycled through their pit stops, Palou found himself out front by Lap 42. He would only surrender the top spot during pit stop cycles to finish the race, leading 59 of the 100 laps. There was a bit of suspense when Palou made his final pit stop at the end of Lap 67 with a 14-second lead on McLaughlin. Palou had used the required two sets of Firestone alternate tires in his first two stints and opted for the harder, but slower, Firestone primary tires for his final run to the finish. Kirkwood and McLaughlin made their final stops at the end of Laps 65 and 68, respectively, both taking the softer but faster Firestone Firehawk alternate tires. That tire choice offered a glimpse of hope that Palou could be reeled in after he took the lead on Lap 70, but Kirkwood never got closer than 5.5 seconds in his pursuit despite the more grippy tires. Palou, who started fourth, then pulled away at an astonishing rate over the closing laps to win by the largest margin in the 23 editions of this event. “Those Firestones were like everlasting,” Palou said. “They would just keep going. I had an amazing car today.” There was drama in the final 10 laps as McLaughlin and Lundgaard both took advantage of fresher tires to pass Kirkwood for the second and third positions on Lap 94. “Our Chevy was fast, but it's just a mixed bag on what tire you start on,” McLaughlin said. “Maybe we come back here again, and maybe you start on reds (alternate) and just get them out of the way. Overall, made the passes we needed to make at the right times, and I thought we maximized our day.” Dennis Hauger, who qualified an impressive third, was the top finisher among the three rookies in the race, 10th in the No. 19 Ault Block Chain Honda of Dale Coyne Racing. ASTON MARTIN ARAMCO UNVEILS LIVERY FOR 2026 F1 ACADEMY CAR AMRTC, Silverstone, 24 February 2026: The Aston Martin Aramco Formula One™ Team has officially revealed its F1 ACADEMY car livery, which will be driven by German talent Mathilda Paatz in her debut year of the all-female series.   The sleek design features the signature Aston Martin racing green and mirrors the team's elegant AMR26 livery, proudly carrying the Aston Martin Aramco identity on the F1 ACADEMY grid. Mathilda, who represents Aston Martin Aramco as a member of its Driver Academy, drove the liveried F4-spec car operated by PREMA Racing during the first official F1 ACADEMY test, which took place at Shanghai International Circuit between 11-13 February. Mathilda Paatz, F1 ACADEMY and Aston Martin Aramco Academy Driver: “Seeing the Aston Martin Aramco livery on the car for the first time was really special - it looks incredible and instantly made me feel part of the team. Driving the car for the first time during pre-season testing in Shanghai, I learned a lot. It was something new for me to adapt to, and I'm working well with the team at PREMA to become more familiar with the car. There were challenging moments across those three days, but as a team, we're pushing hard in preparation for the first race in China. By day three, I was already becoming more comfortable on track, and so I'm keen to get racing next month. I'm not setting my expectations too high, but I'm feeling confident - my goal is to do my best and have a clean weekend that I can be proud of.” Mathilda Paatz Biography Mathilda, 17, from Cologne, Germany, joined the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One™ Team Driver Academy in November 2025, and was announced as the team's F1 ACADEMY representative for the 2026 season, competing with PREMA Racing. In addition to her full-season debut with Aston Martin Aramco in F1 ACADEMY this year, which gets underway at the Shanghai International Circuit on 13-15 March, Mathilda continues to compete in the Formula Winter Series and F4 CEZ Championship, showcasing her adaptability and dedication across categories. Mathilda brings an impressive racing background. She began karting in 2019 at age ten, swiftly showing promise with third place in the 2020 ADAC Kart Masters - Mini category. In 2022, she claimed victory in the ADAC Kart Masters - Ladies Cup and finished third overall in the standings. Stepping into single-seaters, she became the first female driver supported by the ADAC Motorsport Junior program in 2024 with ADAC Formel Junior Team in F4 France. She built further momentum in 2025, securing four wins in the E4 Championship - Trophy Woman and multiple class podiums in the competitive Italian F4 Championship. Her F1 ACADEMY debut came as a Wild Card entry in Montreal in June 2025 with Hitech TGR, following a solid F4 Central European Zone (CEZ) Championship campaign where she achieved a podium (second place at the Red Bull Ring) and finished eighth overall with several top five finishes. This progression positions her as the second F4 CEZ graduate to enter F1 ACADEMY, highlighting her rise on the international stage.  Palou Unveils 110th Indianapolis 500 Ticket     INDIANAPOLIS (Tuesday, Feb. 24, 2026) – Four-time NTT INDYCAR SERIES champion Alex Palou unveiled the ticket for the 110th Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge on Tuesday, Feb. 24 in Indianapolis. Palou earned his first victory in “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing” last May in the No. 10 DHL Chip Ganassi Racing Honda, and one of the many honors bestowed upon the winner is unveiling the ticket for the next year's race. Featuring the winning driver on the next year's “500” ticket dates to Mauri Rose's appearance in 1948. Spain native Palou received a special DHL delivery at K1 Speed in Fishers. He opened the DHL packaging to reveal an enlarged version of the colorful ticket, featuring a photo of his jubilant celebration standing on his winning car following the victory. “I always had to sign the ticket as a driver, and I always wanted be on the ticket,” Palou said. “It's amazing. I love it. It was probably the coolest day of my life, and I cannot wait to see it on a small scale all around IMS. It's going to look good.” Designed in house by Senior Art Director Mandy Walsh, the ticket celebrates the excitement of Palou's first “500” victory with his full-color image superimposed over an overhead shot of his car crossing the famed Yard of Bricks. The ticket also features a patriotic flair to celebrate the nation's military, which is honored throughout the storied event held annually during Memorial Day weekend, and the 250th birthday of the United States this year. Palou will defend his victory in “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing” on Sunday, May 24 in the 110th Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, with live coverage starting at 10 a.m. ET on FOX, FOX One, FOX Deportes, FOX Sports app and the INDYCAR Radio Network. Johnson Feasts on Home Cooking To Earn First Win at St. Pete   ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (Sunday, March 1, 2026) – Nikita Johnson earned his first INDY NXT by Firestone victory Sunday, winning his hometown Grand Prix of St. Petersburg after prevailing in a duel of talented teenagers. Johnson, from St. Petersburg, delivered his first victory in just his fourth career start in the INDYCAR development series. It also was the first INDY NXT victory for Cape Motorsports, which Johnson joined this offseason after a part-time foray last season in the series with HMD Motorsports. SEE: Race Results “I can't thank the boys from Cape Motorsports enough and everyone from ECR who has been helping us,” Johnson said. “It's a pretty amazing feeling to get my first win in INDY NXT and Cape's first win in INDY NXT. I can't wait to see all my friends and family.” Series rookie Johnson, 17, drove his No. 21 Cape Motorsports Powered by ECR entry to victory by .6990 of a second over pole sitter Max Taylor, 18, in the No. 28 Susan G. Komen car of Andretti Global. Rookie Tymek Kucharczyk rounded out the podium finishers in his first INDY NXT start by placing third in the No. 71 HMD Motorsports entry, 5.055 seconds behind Johnson. Andretti Global took three of the top five spots. Seb Murray placed fourth in the No. 27 Prosperity machine, while Lochie Hughes rounded out the top five in the No. 26 car. Johnson wasted no time asserting his command of this race, scheduled for 45 laps but halted on time after 55 minutes. He started second and used a bold, sweeping move to the outside of Taylor in Turn 1 at the start to grab a lead he would never relinquish. “It was pretty straight up,” Johnson said. “I reviewed some video from previous years on YouTube, the INDY NXT channel. I knew I wanted to get up front quickly, and I did just that. I went into Turn 1 and knew what he (Taylor) was going to do before he did it and just went around the outside. After that, I kept it pretty simple, tried to keep a nice gap.” Caution periods ended up being Johnson's biggest foe besides Taylor. The race was slowed by four full-course yellows, but Johnson held off Taylor on each of the restarts. Perhaps Taylor's best chance came on a restart on Lap 20. He tried the same move Johnson used to gain the lead on Lap 1, but his attempt at a sweeping, outside pass was unsuccessful. “All the restarts were pretty difficult,” Johnson said. “He (Taylor) caught on at one point, and I had throw in a little curve ball and change it up.” Taylor maintained pressure on Johnson for the entire race, never trailing by more than a second and keeping his car usually within six- or seven-tenths of the leader. But Taylor also never got close enough after restarts to mount a serious challenge to the race lead. The two teens traded blows over the closing laps. Johnson turned his quickest lap of the race on Lap 38, but Taylor countered with the speediest lap overall on Lap 39. “Good race overall, good points,” Taylor said. “Showed a lot of pace but just messed up on the start. “The restarts were very difficult to get right. Just kept trying to apply the pressure, trying different things. Probably could have had an opportunity to pass him there, but you live and you learn.”

Dale Earnhardt Jr. sits down with one of the most accomplished open-wheel racers in history, three-time Indianapolis 500 winner Dario Franchitti. After elevating through the karting ranks of Scotland and taking on the lower formula divisions in Europe, Dario set his sights on the US racing scene, specifically the Championship Auto Racing Teams series. Once stateside, Dario explains his journey wasn't easy, and he initially struggled until joining Barry Green's organization. Dario would have a breakout year in 2007, winning his first Indianapolis 500 and the IndyCar Series championship, but through all the success, he felt his motivation waning, and he was ready for the next challenge. The next challenge came in an unlikely form: NASCAR. Through a deal with Chip Ganassi, Dario would plunge into the world of stock car racing with both feet, taking on the Cup grid in 2008 full-time. The endeavor would be ill-fated, and before long, Dario was back behind the wheel of an IndyCar, where he began a dynasty championship run. This incredible in-depth interview dives deep into the heartbreak of losing loved ones in motorsports, the severity of head injuries, and the difficulty of walking away from competitive racing.
