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.
Segundo episodio de la semana del Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1 donde se analiza un poco más el Gran Premio de Canadá, más allá de la victoria de George Russell y el primer podio de Antonelli, pero también se dedica un buen tiempo a las 24 Horas de Le Mans (y el dominio de Ferrari), y el espectáculo que vivimos en Bommarito, en la Indycar. Gran Premio de Canadá: decisiones discutibles. El GP de Canadá 2025 ha destacado por la diversidad estratégica entre los equipos. McLaren cometió errores que acabaron en un incidente entre sus propios pilotos, mientras Ferrari dejó dudas con la gestión de Leclerc. También discutibles las decisiones de la FIA respecto a sanciones blandas, como la aplicada a Norris, y las advertencias sin consecuencias a otros pilotos. La carrera tuvo intensidad, aunque es más interesante en el análisis que en el espectáculo en pista. Le Mans: dominio incontestable de Ferrari. En Le Mans tuvimos una carrera con diferentes actores hasta que los Ferrari empezaron a mostrar lo que tenían e impusieron su ley, estando a punto de lograr un triplete histórico. Llevan 3 ediciones seguidas ganando aquí, pero esta vez lo hicieron con el equipo privado compuesto por Kubica, Ye y Hanson. Y qué podemos decir de esto que no se quede corto con lo vivido: fue impresionante ver a Kubica llevarse esta carrera mítica después de todo lo que ha luchado. Se hizo un stint final de más de 4 horas con cero errores y sus perseguidores, que estaban muy cerca, nunca pudieron llegar a él. El rendimiento del equipo fue tan sólido que, de no ser por un leve contratiempo, podrían haber conseguido un triplete histórico. La decepción vino por parte de Toyota y Porsche (con la excepción del equipo Penske), que no lograron estar a la altura de los italianos. En resumen, destacar el equilibrio y la estrategia de Ferrari como claves del triunfo. Emoción y fuego en Bommarito. La Indy corría en oval corto, Gateway, y nos brindó un carrerón memorable, de los mejores que hemos visto en este circuito, con victoria de Kirkwood, el único ganador en la categoría junto a Palou. Carrera muy movida, con accidentes bestiales y en la que Palou sólo pudo ser 8º, pero que fue una de las más emocionantes del año. Kirkwood se llevó la victoria tras una carrera vibrante y accidentada, con múltiples cambios de líder, estrategias arriesgadas y un grave accidente de Josef Newgarden, que afortunadamente no tuvo consecuencias físicas. La bandera amarilla provocada por Foster desencadenó un giro total en la carrera, afectando a varios pilotos que iban liderando hasta ese momento. Rasmussen brilló al remontar desde el fondo hasta el podio, mientras Dixon, que apostó por no parar en boxes al final, se quedó sin combustible y perdió posiciones. Palou, que como decimos solo pudo ser octavo, mantiene una cómoda ventaja de 73 puntos en el campeonato, consolidando su liderazgo. Finalizamos, entonces, una semana llena de emoción, estrategia y espectáculo en las tres competiciones, que nos da una muy buena impresión del estado actual del automovilismo de élite.

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.

In the second segment of the show, they talk about Kyffin Simpson seemingly improving each week. They also talk about how Josef Newgarden’s race weekend went. Then to wrap up the first hour of the show, they talk about the upcoming race schedule for next weekend at Gateway. In the second hour of the show, they talk about Jackson Lee’s upcoming race in Daytona. They also talk about Scott McLaughlin and Tony Kanaan having beef on X. They later answer fan questions from X. In the second segment of the second half of the show, they recap the crashes from Detroit, including the suspension failure from Louis Foster and going into Felix Rosenqvist. They also answer more fan questions on X. Then to wrap up another edition of the show, Kevin answers more fan questions on X and gives his final thoughts.

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.

Live from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and overlooking the yard of bricks, Alex Palou joins The Race IndyCar Podcast just hours after he became the winner of the 109th Indy 500.Palou - with a croaky voice after all of the screaming after the win - breaks down the race winning move and how it was shaped by his 2021 loss to Helio Castroneves.But we also get into his career path from being discarded on the ladder to F1 and identifying IndyCar as a future option, and how his dad, Ramon, fit into that journey.We also discuss what's next for Palou in the long-term (winning a third championship in a row) and in the more immediate future (breaking the funk for Indy winners in Detroit), plus there's chat about Chip Ganassi's role in identifying Palou's talent, giving him the tools to succeed, and backing him through a rollercoaster few years where Palou tried to leave but eventually recommitted to the team.JR Hildebrand also joins right after the race to break down Palou's success, Josef Newgarden's incredible run in the race, David Malukas's breakthough podium and more.Want ad-free listening?

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.
It is finally time for the Greatest Spectacle in Racing, and our resident open wheeler Conor Daly will be rolling off P11 this coming Sunday. He joins co-host Chase Holden to break down all of the action from practice week and qualifying, which saw many surprises and breath-taking crashes. No surprise of course was bigger than rookie Robert Shwartzman putting his Prema entry on the pole. But, the news that Josef Newgarden and Will Power had failed tech and were being penalized also rocked the paddock. Conor gives listeners a detailed look at how his final qualifying attempt unfolded, which originally placed him in 13th, just a few tenths away from locking into the Fast 12. He also explains how on edge the cars are this year, and the major differences between being in qualifying trim and race trim.Pole winner Robert Shwartman joins the show to reflect on his historic feat of becoming the first rookie to capture P1 since 1983. He talks listeners through making the Fast 12 and the feeling he had laying down a perfect lap that held up for the top speed of the day. Robert explains that after the hardship he's faced in the Formula One ranks, it was incredible to feel the support from the crowd at Indianapolis. Conor and Chase also get to know Robert, the person outside of the race car, as they discuss his interest in hip hop music and how he is an aspiring musician himself. The guys chat about Prema team members like Ryan Briscoe being an asset and how Robert's car is feeling going into the big race on Sunday.
Getting two of your three cars thrown to the back of the Indianapolis 500 grid is a bad look for any top IndyCar team. When you're the team whose owner also owns the championship and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, it's even more complicated.Matt Beer borrows The Race IndyCar Podcast Jack Benyon's host chair so he can quiz Jack on the dramatic developments since Indy 500 qualifying in a bonus mini-podcast.Exactly what Penske did, the crisis over series regulating the fallout from it has created, whether the bumped Jacob Abel deserves one of Penske's places on the grid and penalised pair Josef Newgarden and Will Power's chances of victory from the back of the grid are all debated.Want ad-free listening?

(00:00-24:28) – Query & Company opens on a Tuesday with Greg Rakestraw filling in for Jake Query so he can host the Fastest Rookie Luncheon. Rake opens the show by previewing all the various guests that will be on the show today and recapping the history of Pacers vs Knicks in the playoffs. (24:28-34:47) – Greg Rakestraw shifts his focus from the Eastern Conference Finals to the Western Conference Finals. He examines the playoff history for the Oklahoma City Thunder and Minnesota Timberwolves in their franchise history. He ties it all to the fact that this is one of the best opportunities the Pacers have had at winning a Larry O’Brien Trophy. (34:47-42:24) – The first hour of today’s show concludes with Greg Rakestraw taking calls from Pacers fans a day ahead of the first game between the Pacers and Knicks in the Eastern Conference Finals. (42:24-1:07:56) – Team Penske driver Scott McLaughlin joins Greg Rakestraw to start the second hour of the show to reveal what he’s doing on the first day not in a racecar, takes us through the Sunday morning practice accident, states that Scott Dixon’s Indy 500 win in 2008 is what made his dream as a kid from New Zealand winning the race a true reality, shares what his race day experience was like in 2016 when he attended as a fan, and previews Pacers vs Knicks. Fellow Team Penske driver, Will Power, also joins Rake in the segment to discuss how much he can lean on his experience from starting from the back of the field to try and work his way forward on Sunday, states that there isn’t much of a difference from the car last year to this year with the hybrid, and shares the best part about coming back to IMS every year.
