Podcasts about IndyCar Series

The IndyCar Series took on legendary Road America this past weekend, and our resident open wheeler Conor Daly was once again in action. He joins co-host Chase Holden this week on Speed Street to discuss his struggles throughout the weekend and how a penalty sunk his efforts at a decent finish. Conor explains that the new hybrid continues to be difficult for his team, as the added weight has caused everyone in the paddock to go back to the drawing board for setups and balance. Ultimately, a design difficulty in the aero screen caused Conor to misread an IndyCar official's hand gestures, which led to him receiving a stop-and-go penalty, effectively taking him out of contention.Road America pole sitter Louis Foster joins the race to celebrate his first ever series P1 start and how he and his team were shocked to have found so much speed throughout the qualifying session. He and Conor share thoughts on the search for consistency throughout a season, and how it can be frustrating competing against the better funded teams who seem to have things together week in week out. Louis speaks on the viral clip of his mustache shaving from the past weekend and how out of the car storylines are good for IndyCar fans to get to know the drivers better. The guys also touch on Louis' major crash in St. Louis, changing team culture and the upcoming test at Iowa.

Swearing in front of your parents, Scott McLaughlin on IndyCar Series, and more! T H2

In this week's episode from May of 2025, we visit with Indycar Head of Aerodynamic Development, Tino Belli and we talk all things Indycar including the Indy 500, and when the new Indycar is coming. Direct from the Indycar Series offices across the street from the Brickyard.

It was an exhilarating weekend in St. Louis for the IndyCar Series, and our resident open wheeler Conor Daly entertained the masses with a thrilling drive to the front. He joins co-host Chase Holden to discuss taking his number-76 Juncos Hollinger Chevy high, wide and handsome to battle from 15th place to the lead throughout the evening. Conor gives listeners great insight to his side-by-side battle with Pato O'Ward and how some missteps on pit road ultimately put him behind, causing him to settle for a sixth place finish. Pato O'Ward joins the show and the two stars of the night relive their battle in detail. Pato compares the fight for the lead to his race with Josef Newgarden at Texas in 2023. He also discusses his start to the 2025 season and how despite not having a victory on the year he finds himself second in the championship points standings. Pato reveals that he feels very at peace with how the races have been unfolding and despite not always having qualifying speed, he's been able to capitalize every weekend and salvage good finishes. Conor and Pato also rehash the 2025 Indianapolis 500 and Pato unpacks some of his heated, post-race comments about how the race fell short of what he expects from the Greatest Spectacle in Racing.

Doug Boles already had his dream job as president of Indianapolis Motor Speedway since 2013. Then Roger Penske, owner of both IMS and the IndyCar Series, asked him to be president of IndyCar following the departure of Jay Frye in February. The pitch: Boles would retain his first job while also taking on the second. “It wasn't something that I expected,” Boles says in this week's edition of the IBJ Podcast. “When Roger Penske calls you and says, ‘I need your help,' you don't usually say, ‘No.' You say, ‘Yes, sir, how can I help?' And then you get on board and you start figuring it out.”   A few months later, early in the morning after qualifying for the Indy 500 on May 18, Boles called Penske to inform his boss that he felt it was necessary to ratchet up the severity of penalties against two Team Penske drivers—including two-time defending champion Josef Newgarden—by placing them at the very back of the field. “It was not the [phone] call I wanted to make,” Boles said.   Nor was it the only difficult conversation Boles would have with IndyCar teams about costly penalties by the time the Indy 500 victory banquet rolled around on May 26. “This month was probably the most physically and emotionally draining and taxing month that I've had since I've been [IMS] president,” Boles told IBJ. These have been the highest-profile decisions to date in Boles' tenure as IndyCar president as he works on implementing Penske's larger vision. Most importantly, that means bringing together IMS and IndyCar to work more as a single unit and leverage their strengths. It also means working with Fox, IndyCar's new broadcaster, to find ways to build the audience. It means working with promoters and sponsor. All of those topics are on the table in this wide-ranging podcast, as well as emerging efforts to improve inspection of cars and to create an independent officiating board that would operate completely outside the Penske organization to quell concerns about conflicts of interest. Boles also shares his take on the need for the annual irritant shared by many local fans: the TV blackout of the live Indy 500 broadcast.

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.

The week between qualifying for the Indianapolis 500 and the actual race is usually pretty quiet from a news perspective. But there's nothing usual about the last week in this year's Month of May. Major penalties assessed to two cars owned by Team Penske—including the car driven by two-time defending champion Josef Newgarden—inflamed long-running concerns about Roger Penske's ownership of both the IndyCar Series and arguably its most successful team.   In an extraordinary press conference on Monday, IndyCar President Doug Boles announced that he and another Penske executive decided that harsher penalties were warranted in an effort to protect the integrity of the Indy 500. Their decision, he said, was made without the input of their boss, Roger Penske. Two days later, Team Penske announced something that would have been unthinkable before the 2024 season--that it was parting ways with three of the team's top executives. That included President Tim Cindric, long considered to be Penske's successor in the racing part of his automobile empire. The departures have been widely reported as firings.   Boles dropped another bombshell late on Wednesday. He revealed that IndyCar has been exploring the creation of an independent governing body beyond Penske's control to officiate the series without the appearance of bias.   If you live in the central Indiana media market, these rapid-fire announcements might have been bewildering. You've heard references to “cheating” and “scandal.” You've heard that the smoking gun for the qualifying penalties was something called an “attenuator” that had been illegally modified in some way. You've heard that all of these developments are a “big deal” for Penske, and therefore the series. If you don't follow IndyCar religiously, this week's podcast gives you the relevant background and serves as a primer on which elements are important. Our guest is John Oreovicz, a journalist and author who has covered IndyCar for three decades.

The racing industry has long been dominated by men, but change is in motion. Women are increasingly taking leadership roles in motorsports, breaking barriers and driving innovation in engineering and production.

With STEM fields playing a crucial role in racing advancements, the push to encourage young women to pursue careers in engineering and science is stronger than ever.So, what does it take to lead in a male-dominated industry like motorsports?
