He joins co-host Chase Holden this week on Speed Street to discuss the challenges that street courses like Detroit and Toronto bring to the Juncos Hollinger Racing team. Conor explains that the slick surfaces that are found throughout the courses make it difficult to generate mechanical grip, and Toronto is especially tricky with its mixture of tarmac and concrete.

From there, he deployed his hybrid boost and push to pass to gain a major run on the 10-car, which ended up being the winning move of the race. Scott also talks about celebrating with his son Kit at the track for the first time, his takeaways from the recent Iowa test and his expectations for the rest of the 2025 season.

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.

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.

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.

Jack Harvey had a stellar run in the junior categories of open-wheel racing on his way up to the NTT INDYCAR SERIES.

Unfortunately, the promise showed at MSR was never realized at RLL. In 2024, Dale Coyne rang up Harvey to offer him a ride which he happily took alongside a revolving line-up of co-drivers. We caught up with him at the 2024 Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach where he was celebrating his birthday and his new ride. In this interview, he talks about the importance of how to develop relationships within a team. He also recalls the incredible run to be the final Indy 500 qualifier the year prior.
