(24:08-35:23) – Conor Daly of Ed Carpenter Racing joins Brian Noe and Jimmy Cook on the Fan Midday Show to explain what the team works on during their final practice session prior to the race on Carb Day, if he has developed any retaliation from the bead gate last year where Alexander Rossi and Sage Karam filled his hot tub with Orbeez, if he has to do anything special as a type one diabetic, and how much support he receives each year during the Indy 500 because of being from Noblesville.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

(00:00-25:51) – The Fan Midday Show opens on a Thursday with Brian Noe and Jimmy Cook discussing how Jimmy didn't say hi to Brian prior to the start of the show, what they expect to see from the Boston Celtics tonight in game five after winning game four, and Jimmy shares a JCook Play of the Day because he's that confident in the bet and doesn't want the line to change.    (25:51-32:54) – Brian and Jimmy shift their conversation from the NBA to the NFL because of the news a couple days ago pertaining to flex scheduling for Thursday Night Football.

Dan Wheldon, Kyle Kirkwood, J.R. Hildebrand, Jay Howard, Sage Karam, Oliver Askew, Spencer Pigot, and Rinus VeeKay. Beyond the fact that all of these drivers are either past or current competitors in the Indy 500, what do they have in common? They all competed in the USF2000 series, which is one of the feeder series to IndyCar. Al Morey IV is 17 years old and a rookie in the USF 2000 series, competing for Indianapolis-based team Jay Howard Driver Development. He lives in Fishers, and ever since he started racing karts at the age of 9, he has had his sights on the upper rungs of professional racing. But the road to IndyCar is never easy, in part because it is so expensive. Running an open-wheel car for a full season in USF2000 can easily run several hundred thousand dollars for the driver. That includes tires, engineering and mechanical services, parts and labor, track testing and travel, food, and lodging. Drivers can defray some of those costs with sponsor dollars, but they typically must arrange those relationships themselves. Al Morey's father, also named Al Morey, says the cost of this season could be anywhere between $400,000 to $700,000, depending, for example, on how often the car is damaged. In the latest edition of the IBJ Podcast, the father and son team talk about what it's like in the trenches of professional racing, the costs involved, and how they work together to secure sponsors. The IBJ Podcast is brought to you by Taft.

He explains what it was like to adjust on the fly to racing a stock car, what it felt like the first time and how he attached Bristol of all places for one of his first starts. Karam also dives into conquering his demons at Pocono Raceway, why he felt the need to ride his bicycle around The Tricky Triangle before the Xfinity Series race this past year, what it felt like to drive through Turn 1 at speed and how he got through the preceding 7 years. He also explains why a moment at the Indianapolis 500 parade with Justin Wilson's children was huge in his healing process, discusses why wrestling is so instrumental to his life personally and professionally and outlines his goals and expectations for 2023. Plus, Papa Segal pays homage to The Gentle Giant, Davey discusses some Silly Season moves so far this off-season and more.

He dives into his recent trip out West, what he did before becoming involved in motorsports, how his passion for racing began in Delaware and how the sport played an integral part in his relationship with his father. While playing with toy cars on carpets modeled after race tracks, Bagley grew infatuated with the radio and the art of it. He dives into how he first wound up working for MRN, his first on-air broadcast at Watkins Glen being "a big mess," learning from broadcasting legends on the job, honing his craft, how his role with MRN progressed and when he felt comfortable in his own skin.

To begin Spot On, Spot Off, the spotters talk about Tyler Reddick outdueling Chase Elliott to earn his first Cup Series win. They highlight Reddick's growth since his Xfinity Series titles and the possibility of him leaving Richard Childress Racing at the end of 2023. Sunday's Cup race did not have a naturally-occurring caution and was one minute shorter than the Xfinity Series race. The guys talk about the drivers' road course skills and how cautions for stage breaks are hurting the on-track product. Could stage breaks one day be eliminated on road courses? The crew debates. Contact between Noah Gragson and Sage Karam during the Xfinity Series race caused a multi-car pileup. The gang breaks the drivers' comments after the race and if NASCAR should have penalized Gragson for the incident. Ty Gibbs passed Kyle Larson on the final lap to earn his fourth win of the year. The guys give credit to Gibbs for showing maturity racing against the reigning Cup Series champion and not needing to pull a bump-and-run move on him. No driver in the Cup Series has three wins after the first 18 races for the first time in history. Hear the crew's thoughts on how many more different winners they think will surface before the playoffs and if any drivers will be able to point their way in. Finally, the guys weigh in on Formula One driver George Russell's comment about fans not having the right to boo drivers. The guys discuss why Russell needs to have thicker skin and fans might not be booing because they don't like him as a driver. Finally in Reaction Theatre, fans call about the Noah Gragson and Sage Karam incident, Jesse Iwuji's run, and celebrating Reddick's first win.      Thank you to our presenting sponsor Offerpad and partners Xfinity and RacingUSA.com for making this show possible.

Former NASCAR champion crew chief Ray Evernham joins the show to talk about the upcoming Mecum auction at the Indiana State Fairgrounds.

Whether you view Atlanta Motor Speedway as an intermedia or superspeedway, it was brand new either way to Sage Karam. He joins the show to tell us about the experience; how much he's looking forward to having practice this season; the number of Xfinity Series races he anticipates running this year and hopes for a full-time ride; looking at returning to Pocono Raceway for the first time since Justin Wilson's fatal accident; if that day has gotten easier to deal with over time; what Karam thinks Pocono will be like in NASCAR versus IndyCar; relying on YouTube to prepare for races; how the continued NASCAR culture learning is going; getting more respect from the garage; if anything from IndyCar has helped in NASCAR; if races feel different in NASCAR; what resources Karam has to use to get better being in PA; if it's been frustrating not having a full-time ride somewhere; what it is about stock cars that have hooked him.

This On the Move is starting with a checkered flag, with hosts Matt Avery and John Kraman racing to dive into the latest Mecum news that the company is once again sponsoring IndyCar driver Sage Karam. Keeping the pedal to the metal, Matt has news that Ford Performance is offering several new carbon fiber upgrades to the Mustang Shelby GT500 before sharing that BMW will be offering the brand’s M xDrive on the upcoming 2022 M3 Competition sedan and M4 Competition coupe. Both of the vehicles feature a 510-horsepower inline six-cylinder engine and deliver a zero to sixty miles per hour time of 3.4 seconds. Wrapping up the segment, John is zeroed in on Nissan’s upcoming Z sportscar and gives his thoughts on what he’s calling the latest entry in to the ‘400-horsepwoer club’. In Segment 2, the guys are on the line with performance pioneer, Reeves Callaway, founder of Callaway Cars. Reeves shares with them the company’s origins, tales from high-speed testing the iconic 1988 ‘Sledgehammer’ Corvette and teases what’s in store for performance cars of the future. Segment 3 is all about the continued rise of vehicle collections at Mecum Auctions. At the upcoming Las Vegas motorcycle auction there are over fifteen collections with the Indianapolis auction boasting over twenty. With John serving as the company’s Consignment Director for many years, he’s the source on explain the rise and role and fills Matt in on all the details.

It's Part 2 of the Week In IndyCar Listener Q&A show as we dive into the season file using listener-driven questions submitted via social media.  A sampling of the submissions: "Two questions regarding Jimmie Johnson: What does Jimmie need to accomplish next year for his rookie IndyCar season to be considered successful? If he does relatively well could it open the door for more drivers from “non-traditional” IndyCar backgrounds?" "Has Dale Coyne Racing celebrated well the season outcome? Because after having clumsily dumped Sebastien Bourdais at the end of last year, they beautifully locked in 13th and 16th spots in the 2020 final standings. Seabass got them 7th and 11th the previous years." "What are the odds Conor Daly is back at ECR next season? Or in full time role elsewhere?" "I just booked a Triple Threat, No DQ, Barroom Brawl between Conor Daly, Sage Karam, and Will Power. Who wins, and how is the victory achieved?"

Dreyer & Reinbold Racing Chevy driver Sage Karam joins the Marshall Pruett Podcast's short-form, end-of-day recap following Wednesday's practice run in preparation for the Indy 500.

Karam's technical insights on the handling differences with IndyCar's new 2018 bodywork are especially valuable as the Pennsylvanian dives into some of the issues many of the fast drivers have noted this week.
