-What can Purdue learn from the Pacers' winning ways? -J-Kool has passed -IndyCar and Pacers highlight the coming weekend around Indy
Este fin de semana promete ser un festín para los entusiastas del automovilismo, con dos eventos de primer nivel que captarán la atención mundial: el Gran Premio de Canadá de Fórmula 1 y la legendaria carrera de resistencia, las 24 Horas de Le Mans. Tras la reciente e intensa acción del Rally de Italia-Cerdeña, con el Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1 nos preparamos para una de las mejores carreras de la temporada en la Indycar: Bommarito. Análisis del Rally de Cerdeña. En el Rally de Cerdeña, Sébastien Ogier volvió a demostrar su maestría al conseguir una nueva victoria, la segunda consecutiva este año y la quinta en su palmarés en esta exigente prueba. El rally fue "tremendamente duro”, como suele ser habitual, pero también espectacular, como es usual, y se caracterizó por sus habituales cambios de guion, lo que añade un elemento impredecible y emocionante a la competición. Los resultados de la prueba, del super-domingo y de la Power Stage nos dejan claro que el campeonato este año, lejos de lo que pueda parecer, está muy reñido. Rovanperä sigue a la caza y captura del líder del Campeonato, su compañero Evans. Ogier está en un excelente momento de forma y los Hyundai, sobre todo Tänak, no se quedan atrás en competitividad - aunque este fin de semana brilló también, con luz propia, Fourmaux, a pesar de que los resultados lo oculten. Situación poco habitual en la Indycar. En la NTT IndyCar Series, la temporada 2025 ha sorprendido a muchos en el paddock debido a un dominio inusual y concentrado. Alex Palou de Chip Ganassi Racing y Kyle Kirkwood de Andretti Global han combinado sus esfuerzos para ganar cada una de las siete primeras carreras de la temporada. Desde que A.J. Foyt ganó las siete primeras carreras de la temporada de 1964 (hace 61 años), solo una temporada ha presentado una racha similar con tan pocos pilotos dominantes. En 2006, Sebastien Bourdais ganó las primeras cuatro carreras de la temporada de la Champ Car World Series, y AJ Allmendinger se llevó las tres siguientes. En términos de dominio de dos hombres, esta es la única comparación en el último medio siglo con lo que estamos presenciando este año. Afortunadamente, la era moderna de este deporte se ha caracterizado por una paridad excepcional. Desde 2008, solo en la temporada de 2009 no hubo al menos cuatro pilotos ganadores en las siete primeras carreras. Es más, en tres ocasiones, incluyendo la más reciente en 2021, la IndyCar tuvo siete ganadores diferentes en esas siete primeras carreras, con nombres como Palou, Colton Herta, Scott Dixon, Pato O'Ward, Rinus VeeKay, Helio Castroneves y Marcus Ericsson subiendo a lo más alto del podio. La paridad de esta temporada se manifiesta en la diversidad de pilotos que han terminado en la segunda posición, con seis pilotos diferentes ocupando ese puesto. Palou es uno de ellos, lo que en parte explica por qué tiene una ventaja de 90 puntos sobre O'Ward de Arrow McLaren, y de 102 sobre Kirkwood. Han pasado dos décadas desde que un piloto tenía una ventaja tan considerable en este punto de la temporada, y eso, unido a la paridad de resultados en la segunda posición, nos da idea de la excelencia de este piloto. La carrera de este fin de semana es la Bommarito Automotive Group 500, circuito situado a pocos kilómetros al este de St. Louis, en la ciudad de Madison (Illinois). Se disputará bajo los focos y estaremos esperando ver qué nos ofrece, después el desastre de Detroit, Alex Palou.

IndyCar may have had the week off, but Speed Street is still reporting for duty covering all the latest news in the open wheel scene. Conor Daly and Chase Holden reflect on the television ratings for the Detroit race and the public response to Conor's critiques of the course layout. They also react to the news that Formula One will be directly competing with the 2026 running of the Indianapolis 500 by moving the Canadian Grand Prix to the same day. Conor expresses that the move from the FIA appears to be a blatant show of disrespect for the history of the 500, and feels motorsports fans are being cheated out of a celebrated tradition of the Greatest Day in Motorsports.Chip Ganassi Racing pilot Kyffin Simpson joins the show to discuss his recent first career top-five finish in Detroit and what his time has been like with the CGR team. Kyffin breaks down the pit strategy that helped bring him to the front of the pack and what he had to do to remain in the top five for the duration of the race. He also speaks on the steep learning curve and sheer amount of information he has been absorbing at CGR from having experienced teammates like Scott Dixon and Alex Palou. The guys chat about what areas Kyffin would like to improve in and what his goals are for the rest of the season. Kyffin also gives listeners some insight to who he is outside of the car, as he chats about island life and his love for water sports.
Hinch gives his immediate reaction to the news that F1 has scheduled the Montreal Grand Prix to go head to head with next year's Indianapolis 500.+++Off Track is part of the SiriusXM Sports Podcast Network.

“They were all standing in front of our big Kenworth, the truck, this monster big American machine. They could have cared less about the Ferrari.

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.

IndyCar took over the streets of Detroit, and for the second time this season Kyle Kirkwood was able to stop the Alex Palou freight train. Our resident open wheeler Conor Daly battled grip issues and muscled his Juncos Hollinger Chevy to a 17th place finish on the day. He joins co-host Chase Holden to discuss the difficulties that the Detroit Grand Prix circuit layout causes and why there has been so much calamity the last couple of seasons since the race left Belle Isle. They also break down some of the different strategies that drivers tried throughout the day, but ultimately the high number of caution periods disrupted everyone's game plans.Race winner Kyle Kirkwood joins the show to unpack Andretti Global's continued excellence on street courses. Despite having trouble in qualifying, Kyle found his way to the front when it mattered most and was able to capitalize on points leader Alex Palou's misfortune. Speaking of which, Conor and Kyle trade battle stories of the firsthand mishaps they witnessed and why low grip in the braking zones seems to be leading to so many on-track incidents. Finally, Kyle breaks down his day at the Indianapolis 500 and what he needs to do to catch Alex Palou in the points chase.

The Greatest Spectacle in Racing is officially in the books, and our resident open wheeler Conor Daly showed moments of brilliance before bringing home a hard fought 8th place finish. He joins co-host Chase Holden to recap his race and how a vibration caused by a loss of wheel weights caused him to fade late in the running. Conor explains that his car became wrecking loose, but an early pit stop would cause him to fall out of the top-10, so he was forced to hold on for dear life and save more fuel than expected. The guys chat about the attrition during the race, the rain delays and how several contenders' days were impacted. At the end of the day, the driver of the year so far Alex Palou was able to use lapped cars to stay ahead of Marcus Ericsson, bringing home his first career oval victory on the biggest stage in auto racing.The now regarded as “third host of Speed Street” Alex Palou stops by the show during his 500-winner media tour to unpack the biggest win in his storied career. He recalls that as the race hit the halfway mark and the various strategies began to take place, he realized he was going to have a shot at winning. Alex and Conor experienced opposite balance issues due to cold temperatures and rainy conditions, and Alex explains that he was dealing with a major push that the team chased with adjustments throughout the entire event. At the end of the day, Alex implemented a strategy that he learned while chasing Helio Castroneves to the finish during the 2021 running of the race, only this time he came out on top.

In this high-octane episode of 7DS, we dive into the twisted tale of John Paul Sr.—a world-class race car driver whose life off the track was far more dangerous than anything he faced at 200 mph. From winning Le Mans to running a ruthless drug trafficking empire, Paul Sr.'s checkered flag career took a sinister turn. As his thirst for power, money, and control escalated, so did the bodies and betrayals. And when people close to him started disappearing—including his own wife—the question became not if he was involved, but how far he'd go to stay ahead of the law. Buckle up for a story of speed, scandal, and the deadly sins that drove one man off the rails.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
