Marco Andretti is almost a girl dad and it's going to happen during a busy part of the season for him. Andretti discusses life as a part-time racing driver these days; how perspective changes on racing, particularly Indianapolis, not as a full-time driver; having a wider view on the racing world; the benefits of doing cold plunges; digging into the season and adjusting to a new challenge with stock car/truck racing; adapting to having more input from behind the wheel versus the variables of open wheel racing; the habits he's had to unlearn behind the wheel; anything that's surprised him that's been enjoyable; the mental adjustment to always being in combat; what challenge has been the biggest uphill battle; character building early in the season and understanding little victories; the atmosphere of NASCAR versus IndyCar; getting to know and competing against new drivers, and why Andretti says they don't want to get beat by him; the way Andretti prepares as a driver and how that's different in NASCAR; going from practice straight to qualifying in NASCAR; looking ahead to the rest of his schedule; identifying as race car driver now and not being known for one thing; what the future might hold in NASCAR.  Original music created by Tony Monge. Follow me here: https://linktr.ee/kellycrandall

Tonight on Trackside, Kevin and Curt recap the race at Toronto, and Kevin's rough travel schedule with technical difficulties keeping him seated on his plane for seven hours. They talk about how Kyle Kirkwood was the perfect teammate for Colton Herta this weekend, and how if Colton was second and Kirkwood was first, Herta might have been more aggressive at passing his teammate. They debate on whether the two teammates will be more competitive next time if this situation happens again, and they run through the field to talk about how Ganassi and Penske performed. They talk about the caution debacle that led to a huge pileup, and what IndyCar will do going forward.  Later on, Curt and Kevin talk about how Alex Palou has pulled away in the championship standings, with a 48-point cushion going into the last few races of the season. Curt talks about how good Palou has been on ovals, and how consistent Palou has been with always getting top 5s. They talk about how it would require Palou to finish 18th or worse in two races for him to lose the championship.   To round out the first hour, Kevin reads some listener tweets, and how Scott Dixon is Mr. IndyCar. He also answers a question about splitting up qualifying for cleaner laps.  In the second hour of the show, the two talk about the Brickyard 400 and Kyle Larson's win, and the controversy surrounding the finish.

Katherine Legge was announced yesterday (April 9th) as a driver in the 2024 Indianapolis 500 for Dale Coyne Racing with RWR. On the same day she was at the press day for this year's Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach where we got to sit down with her and chat about her new opportunity. She was also very candid in discussing the incident with Stefan Wilson last year along with how and why it happened. Legge is super talented and was the first female to win a professional open wheel race when she made her debut at Long Beach in the Formula Atlantic series in 2005. Our interview was kept a bit short as she had to get to the airport and catch a flight back to Indy to be able to get on track at the Speedway today for the open test today and tomorrow. Enjoy! Note: In the Rookie Orientation Practice (ROP) and veteran refresher session at the Brickyard this morning, Legge was second quickest behind former “500” pole sitter Marco Andretti. Next week on April 18, 2024, Legge will be inducted into the Long Beach Motorsports Walk of Fame. She'll be the first female inductee there ever. 

Welcome to our motorsports podcast where we discuss F1, Indycar, IMSA, NASCAR, our own racing adventures, and some other adventures!NASCAR visited the paperclip this past weekend for the Spring race while Formula 1 went to Suzuka during the Spring time where we got to see the cherry trees in full blossom as this race has typically taken place in the fall over the last several seasons. In addition to these races, there is some racing news in the Indycar and IMSA paddocks. Prema announces it will join the Indycar grid in 2025, Katherine Legge, Connor Daly, and Marco Andretti share news about their Indy 500 rides coming up in May, and Flying Lizard Motorsports returns to IMSA to run at Long Beach with an Aston Martin GT3 entry in the GTD class.Racing this upcoming weekend is on the very light side as Moto GP races at COTA (where a Garage56 demo run will occur) and the European Le Mans Series is having it's season opener in Spain.

Phil and Josh return for E213 of the GSP to actually talk about Formula 1, since the Smooth Operator Carlos Sainz returned from an appendectomy and won the Australian Grand Prix.  Sainz had overtaken Fish Lips on the track but the Red Fool leader fell out with brake failure.  The guys talk about his first DNF in two years, Sainz getting a dominant win with a Ferrari 1-2, McLaren being with them, Mercedes being terrible, Daniel Ricciardo looking at the exit door and Logan Sargeant holding Alex Albon's manpurse.   A generally uncompelling weekend at the Thermal Club saw a usual result, with defending series champion Alex Palou win pole and dominate the main event to win his Chip Ganassi team $500,000.  The other standout was former 10 car driver Felix Rosenqvist, who's new home at Meyer-Shank suits him well.  Phil and Josh look at the race, what can be changed and who made/missed the show.  Circuit of the Americas hosted NASCAR and saw William Byron become the first repeat winner of 2024 in dominant fashion.  Track limits played a part along with pit road penalties in a race that generally lacked any drama.  The new "short track" package continues to suck in actually allowing cars to pass and provide more driveability.  Hendrick and Toyota continue to lead while Ford struggles. Chris Bell made a list of enemies, including former teammate Kyle Busch.  On the XFinity side, Yung Money benefitted from Bobby Hill parking his car in front of SVG on the final lap of the race, costing both a chance at victory.  Sam Mayer finally gets a decent result and there was a mixed bag among the contenders.  For the Truck Series, Corey Heim barely had any resistance on his way to his first win of 2024.  The revelation was Conor Zilisch, who made his debut and qualified on pole.  After a tough start, the Trackhouse development driver moved his way back into the top five at the end of the race.  On the flip side, Marco Andretti's rear end fell out of his Roper Racing truck.   The GSP Roundup covers F2/F3, Supercars, MotoGP/Moto2, WSBK, NHRA, WRC and Formula E before leading into previews and picks for the Easter weekend races at Richmond for NASCAR Cup and XFinity.  Josh lets us know about everything going on in iRacing on his Sim Segment before the Show Close.
