It was a weekend to forget in Portland for Conor Daly, but not by his own doing. He joins co-host Chase Holden on Speed Street this week to unpack what could have been a promising weekend but ultimately ended up being disappointing in many regards. Conor explains that after racing with Juncos Hollinger at Portland last year, the team had plenty of data to build upon, and they unloaded with a good amount of speed. An unfortunate tire mishap in qualifying buried them in the pack, but Conor was still optimistic that he could make his way forward during the race. Conor gives listeners an in depth breakdown of his on-track altercation with Christian Rasmussen and explains why he feels there are inconsistencies in how avoidable contact penalties are being issued.The race winner of the weekend Will Power joins the show to chat about how he was able to go back to back at Portland and pick up Penske's first win of the season. Will reflects on being in his contract year and not feeling sure of what the future holds with Penske. He explains that he feels he's at the peak of his driving career and hopes to continue on in a competitive seat. Conor and Will chat about the increasing aggression in IndyCar driving etiquette and how competitive the field is this season. Will describes the 2025 season as being bizarre, but the future looks bright for the IndyCar series thanks to Fox and increasing parity across the field.

Some questions for the week, Is Seb making a come back? Is Checo racing for Cadillac? Is Oscar MORE mafia than Alonso? Whatever, Charles is handsome.

Aunque vamos a estar dos semanas sin Fórmula 1 (en los circuitos, que las carreras ahora son en los despachos), el fin de semana estuvo bien animado con el WEC en Brasil y, sobre todo, las dos carreras de la Indy en el oval corto de Iowa, con victorias de O’Ward y de Palou. Y el próximo fin de semana tampoco nos quedaremos sin competición: viajamos a Estonia para el Rally de casa de Tänak. La gran atracción del fin de semana. El Rally de Estonia, a falta de Fórmula 1, será la atracción del próximo fin de semana - aunque también tendremos IndyCar, que está trepidante. Esta es una de las pruebas más rápidas y técnicas del calendario. Sus características incluyen tramos de tierra con secciones muy rápidas, saltos espectaculares y una superficie que exige máxima precisión. El recorrido se extiende durante tres días e incluye tramos que superan los 20 kilómetros, lo que obliga a pilotos y equipos a afinar la estrategia y, sobre todo, la gestión de neumáticos. Las gomas más utilizadas serán las blandas, ideales para sacar ventaja en una superficie que puede degradarse rápidamente. En cuanto a los protagonistas, se espera una intensa lucha entre los grandes nombres de la categoría reina y, sobre todo atención a los equipos oficiales, que han preparado evoluciones específicas para este rally. La incógnita estará en la adaptación de los pilotos a las condiciones variables del terreno, donde la experiencia previa puede marcar la diferencia… aunque teniendo en cuenta el cambio de gomas de este año, todo puede pasar. Mientras tanto, en Estados Unidos,… La IndyCar nos dejó un fin de semana espectacular en el óvalo corto de Iowa con dos carreras vibrantes. En la primera, Pato O’Ward logró una victoria memorable en su 100ª participación en la serie, superando al gran favorito, Josef Newgarden, que había liderado 232 de las 250 vueltas. Una parada en boxes perfecta y dos reinicios controlados permitieron al mexicano imponerse por solo 0,235 segundos, logrando el triunfo más ajustado en Iowa desde 2007. Esta victoria cortó la racha de Penske en el circuito y dio a Arrow McLaren y Chevrolet su primer triunfo del año. La anécdota, el hijo de Dixon que quería que ganara O’Ward, posando con el mexicano y su trofeo. En la segunda carrera, Alex Palou volvió a demostrar por qué es el gran dominador de la temporada. Favorecido por una bandera amarilla en el momento justo (pero claro, hay que estar ahí), el piloto español aprovechó la estrategia de Ganassi (que también fue muy buena con Dixon, que terminó segundo y le dio un doblete al equipo) y se llevó su séptima victoria en doce carreras, un registro histórico que no se veía desde 1994. Con este resultado, Palou amplía su ventaja en el campeonato a 129 puntos sobre O’Ward y se consolida como el máximo favorito para revalidar el título. Contrastes. Newgarden, que parecía imbatible en Iowa, terminó frustrado y fuera del top 5 debido a la estrategia y a la mala suerte con las banderas amarillas. Las dos carreras dejaron incidentes notables, como los accidentes de Kirkwood, Herta y McLaughlin, además de problemas mecánicos para Power. Eso sí, como siempre en este óvalo tan pequeño, hubo mucho espectáculo. El campeonato sigue vivo, aunque cada vez más inclinado hacia Palou, que busca entrar en la historia con récord de victorias y títulos consecutivos. La próxima cita será el próximo fin de semana en tierras canadienses, en Toronto, donde el español ya sabe lo que es ganar.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1080: Today we're talking about winners - how Roger Penske was honored with the Automotive News Centennial Award, how 14 states have won back $5B in EV charging funs and how Meta and Anthropic both won copyright lawsuits.Show Notes with links:Auto and racing icon Roger Penske received the Automotive News Centennial Award, and shows no signs of slowing down despite being 88. He reflected on six decades of building a business empire by putting people first.He credits a coin from his father inscribed “Effort equals results” as a lifelong guiding principle.Penske said focusing on people over products is key, calling it the “secret sauce” behind building an organization with 74,000 employees.Nearly all leadership growth at Penske is internal—95% of management moves are promotions.He raised concerns over the future of the dealer franchise model, warning that direct-to-consumer shifts could undermine the system if not addressed individually.He described Elon Musk as a great industry disrupter saying ““Musk came in here and did an amazing job. He turned the industry on its head.””A federal judge in Seattle has temporarily blocked the Trump administration from axing billions in EV charging funds to 14 states, ruling that the states are likely to win their case.The Biden-era $5B EV charger program was frozen in February, with state plans rescinded.Judge Tana Lin ruled that withholding the funds likely violated federal law, harming states that invested in infrastructure expecting federal support.The injunction gives the Trump administration seven days to appeal.Two federal judges delivered back-to-back wins for AI developers this week, siding with Anthropic and Meta in copyright lawsuits brought by authors. While both rulings support “fair use” in AI training, the door remains open for future legal challenges.In the Anthropic case, Judge Alsup ruled the company could legally train AI on physical books it bought and digitized, calling it “transformative — spectacularly so.”He drew the line at pirated content, saying a separate trial will determine damages for “millions” of unauthorized books stored by Anthropic.Meta also secured a summary judgment, with Judge Chhabria stating that plaintiffs “made the wrong arguments” — not that Meta's actions were fully lawful.The judges dismissed claims that AI models like Claude and LLaMA meaningfully harm book markets or replicate texts at scale.Judge Alsup added: “The Authors' complaint is no different than if they complained that training schoolchildren to write well would result in an explosion of competing works.”Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

A pesar de que el fin de semana pasado no tuvimos Fórmula, pudimos disfrutar, y mucho, del deporte del motor. Excelente carrera de la Indy en Road America, con una victoria hiper-trabajada de Palou. Y, si nos quedábamos con ganas de más, teníamos MotoGP, que también nos dio dos carreras (la sprint del sábado y la larga del domingo) que nos volvieron locos por su acción en pista. Pero en el Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1 toca hablar de coches, de los que vimos en Wisconsin y de los que veremos en Austria y en Grecia el próximo fin de semana. Qué podemos esperar en Austria. La Fórmula 1 regresa a Europa en Austria, en el Red Bull Ring, un trazado rápido, técnico y de corta duración, en el que la estrategia de neumáticos y la climatología serán factores determinantes. Se espera una carrera competitiva en un circuito que, pese a su sencillez aparente, exige precisión milimétrica. Y que nos encanta por sus cambios de elevación. Este año, por otra parte, volvemos al formato tradicional en Austria, que había visto sus últimas carreras disputarse con el formato sprint. Así, tendremos entrenamientos libres el viernes a las 13:30h y a las 17:00h; así como el sábado a las 12:30h. También el sábado podremos disfrutar de una siempre entretenida clasificación en Spielberg, a las 16:00h. El domingo, la carrera dará comienzo a las 15:00h. Road America: Palou vuelve a la victoria. El pasado fin de semana, en la Indycar, Álex Palou volvió a demostrar su clase imponiéndose en una carrera caótica y estratégica, sumando su sexta victoria en nueve pruebas y consolidándose como líder indiscutible del campeonato 2025. Road América es uno de nuestros circuitos favoritos, por la belleza del entorno, pero también por lo exigente. Palou partía segundo con neumáticos duros, y cayó al séptimo lugar en la primera vuelta, pero supo mantener la calma y avanzar con inteligencia. Aprovechó errores y accidentes de rivales como Kirkwood, Power, McLaughlin o Newgarden, para escalar posiciones y situarse en cabeza entre quienes seguían la estrategia convencional. La carrera vio un montón de ‘caution’, que hicieron que muchos pilotos tuvieran que cambiar la estrategia inicial escogida por sus equipos. Algunos, como Dixon o O’Ward, optaron por una estrategia alternativa que no acabó de funcionar. Otros, como Kirkwood o Lundgaard, intentaron alargar su permanencia en pista para evitar una cuarta parada. Palou, sin embargo, mantuvo su ritmo, ejecutó una estrategia impecable y supo adaptarse a las circunstancias con maestría. Bueno, en realidad, lo que lleva haciendo toda la temporada. El podio lo completaron Felix Rosenqvist, que logró su mejor resultado del año, y Santino Ferrucci, que remontó desde la 18ª posición, dedicó el podio a Marlyne Sexton, recientemente fallecida, y protagonizó una simpática escena con los aficionados, tras la carrera. Kirkwood y Armstrong cerraron el top 5. Dixon fue noveno tras liderar brevemente, mientras que el equipo Penske vivió una jornada desastrosa, con Power, McLaughlin y Newgarden lejos de los puestos de honor. O’Ward, por su parte, fue 17º y pierde terreno en la clasificación general. Con esta victoria, Palou lidera el campeonato con 93 puntos de ventaja sobre Kirkwood, seguido por Dixon y Rosenqvist. La próxima cita será en Mid-Ohio, dentro de dos semanas, donde Palou buscará acercarse aún más a un título que parece tener bien encaminado. WRC, en la nubes del Acrópolis. Llegamos este fin de semana, al Rally Acrópolis, una de las pruebas más duras (y más vistosas) del calendario WRC. Y vuelve con sus tramos polvorientos, técnicos y de alta exigencia mecánica. Las altas temperaturas y las pistas de tierra con grandes rocas suponen un desafío tanto para los pilotos como para las máquinas. La resistencia, saber cuidar - dentro de lo posible - del coche y la elección de neumáticos serán claves, en una prueba que pondrá a prueba tanto el temple de los favoritos como la fiabilidad de sus equipos. Así, con la Indy ofreciendo unos espectáculos soberbios, y con la F1 y el WRC listos para volver al ruedo, el verano automovilístico ya está aquí y promete no dar tregua.

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.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1071: In today's episode, we unpack April's surprising EV registration drop, spotlight top dealership strategies driving service and parts growth, and break down a fresh consumer sentiment boost that still comes with caution.Automotive News' Top 100 Service and Parts Dealer Groups show that there's no single path to growing service and parts revenue—but that tailored strategies, tech investments, and a laser focus on training can deliver huge results.Murgado Automotive boosted revenue 45% by empowering service directors and emphasizing speed, transparency, and convenience.Holman's 48% increase stemmed from employee training, technician retention, and use of myKaarma software across all stores.Kunes Auto Group drove a 33% bump through acquisitions and leveraging DealerFenix to standardize metrics and processes.All three groups focused on increasing customer-pay work, tire sales, and throughput efficiency.“It's all the little things that add up to the big things later on,” said Murgado CEO Mario Murgado.Top 10 - Autonation, Penske, Lithia, Hendrick, Asbury, Group 1, Sonic, Morgan, Holman, OurismanOther friends - 13 - McGovern, 27 - Ciocca, 33- RML, 35 - Bergstrom, 44 - Premier Automotive, 47 - Walser, 66 - Sam Pack, 69 - CMA, 74 - RohrmanFor the first time in over a year, U.S. electric vehicle registrations fell in April. While some brands like Chevrolet saw gains, overall adoption continues to hit a ceiling amid consumer hesitation.EV registrations dropped 4.4% year-over-year to 97,833, marking a 6.6% market share.Tesla saw a 16% decline, with major drops in Model Y and Cybertruck registrations.Chevrolet more than tripled its numbers, led by strong demand for the Equinox and Blazer EVs.S&P's Tom Libby notes the EV segment is hitting a “demand ceiling” around 5,000 units/month per model.“There's a lot of influences working against EVs right now,” Libby said, citing charging concerns and wavering government support.After half a year of sliding confidence, American consumers are feeling a bit more upbeat. A new report shows a sizable sentiment jump in June—but lingering doubts about the broader economy are hard to ignore.According to the University of Michigan, consumer sentiment rose 15.9% from May to 60.5, the highest level since December 2024.The increase was across age, income, region, and political affiliation, with expectations for both short and long-term business conditions seeing the steepest gains.Analysts credit a perceived easing of tariff pressure and slowing inflation for the positive shift.However, consumer sentiment, opinions on current economic conditions, and consumer expectations for the future are all still down YoY“Despite this month's notable improvement, consumers remain guarded and concJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

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.
