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 this episode: The Indy 500 sells out for the first time since 2016, lifting the local TV blackout. Penske Entertainment CEO Mark Miles discusses the momentum behind IndyCar and a new media partnership with Fox.

Marcus Ericsson is the 2022 Indianapolis 500 winner. He came to the NTT INDYCAR SERIES from Formula One.

He joined the Andretti Global team in 2024 and in the first race at St. Pete he qualified in the Firestone Fast Six. We caught up with Ericsson at the following Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach media luncheon where he would earn a fifth place finish. He talks about what happened at St. Pete, hybrid testing, and getting back to the Speedway. A humble and friendly guy, this driver is really good on street circuits and at the Brickyard.

Si te hablo de cuál fue el primer coche con tracción delantera me dirás que el Citroën Traction Avant... ¡Error! hasta llegar a este modelo se tuvo que andar un largo camino… tan largo que se puede decir que arranca, vais a alucinar, en 1770… Entre ese primer tracción delantera y el Traction de 1934 hay muchos e interesantes coches… y muchas e interesantes historias. Joseph Cugnot diseñó y fabrico el triciclo Fardier con motor de vapor, del que se puede decir que iba montado de forma transversal y que la tracción iba a la rueda anterior, única. Su máxima era de 4 km/h… un peligro porque apenas giraba. Ahora recordamos a Latil, una empresa destinada a la fabricación de coches y creada por el empresario, de largo nombre, Auguste Joseph Frédéric Georges Latil, porque en 1899 lanzó un modelo Latil muy avanzado para su época, con frenos a las 4 ruedas, motor delantero y tracción delantera. Esta marca luego derivó sobre todo en tractores y vehículos industriales de cierto prestigio. Mientras, al otro lado del charco, en los EE.UU. de Norteamérica un tal Walter Christie diseñó y patentó un coche de tracción delantera en 1904. Este modelo incluso compitió en la Copa Vanderbilt en 1906 y poco después en el Gran Premio de Francia. Tenía el motor transversal y la tracción delantera… como el 90 por ciento de los coches de ahora… pero entonces, era una verdadera rareza. El tal Walter hizo también coche de tracción total. Este modelo fue imitado. Y en que, en estas fechas, y ahora desvelamos por qué nos referimos a los Speedway, la gran mayoría de carreras allí en los USA eran en óvalos con curvas de gran radio y firme de ceniza o tierra, los famosos Speedway. En este terreno, uno de los inconvenientes de la tracción delantera, su amplio radio de giro, no era problema, pero algunos estimaban que, por el contrario, era una ventaja en cuanto a motricidad. Entre ellos las marcas norteamericanas Detroit Special y Miller, que produjeron coches de tracción delantera. ¡Ojo! Que el Miller 91 llegó a imponerse en el Campeonato Nacional de la AAA o American Automobile Asociation. El coche es precioso y además de tracción delantera estaba sobrealimentado con un compresor. Hasta ahora hemos visto coches de tracción delantera que eran casi prototipos o coches de competición. Vamos a los coches de calle. Y siempre que se habla del primer coche de tracción delantera construido en serie, aunque sea muy corta, sale a relucir el nombre de Bucciali. Los hermanos Angelo y Paul-Albert Bucciali eran unos enamorados del automóvil y fundan la marca Bucciali en 1922. Tras varios modelos con tracción delantera lanzan a comienzo de los años 30 el Bucciali TAV 12. Era un coche muy especial, muy bajo de altura para lo que se estilaba en la época, gracias a la tracción delantera que eliminaba el correspondiente túnel de transmisión, y con transmisión semi automática. Me hace gracia que en estos años si te gustaban los coches y tenías dinerito, creabas tu propia marca. Y esto fue precisamente lo que hizo Errett Lobban Cord quien, tras comprar Auburn y Duesenberg, decidió crear su propia marca, aún más elitista y para hacerlo más diferent optó por utilizar la tracción delantera. Lo cierto es que la tracción delantera aún no estaba resuelta y tuvieron inconvenientes con la fiabilidad porque el coche giraba poco, las juntas homocinéticas “Rzeppa” de las ruedas delantera, solo permitían 32 grados de giro, eran frágiles y para colmo, el volante tenía reacciones muy bruscas. El mayor inconveniente para la expansión de la tracción delantera eran las juntas homocinéticas y fue el brillante ingeniero Jean Albert Grégoire quien eliminó esos problemas. Era un hombre muy aficionado al motor, como digo, brillante ingeniero y otro que decidió crear su propia marca. La llamó Tracta, no confundir con Tatra de la que hemos hecho un video recientemente… Querían que el coche fuese muy especial y decidieron hacerlo de tracción delantera. Pero las juntas homocinéticas del momento, como la Weiss, Mechanic o Glaenzer no eran muy buenas…. Y decidió diseñar las suyas propias… todo un acierto. En estos tiempos no había ni televisión Internet… pero sí carreras de coches y eran la mejor publicidad. Grégoire quería dar a conocer sus coches y pensó en la competición. Ya en 1926 el primer Tracta estaba listo y en 1927 participó en las 24 Horas de Le Mans… Pese a muchas complicaciones el Tracta Tipo A en su versión “Gefi” tomó parte en las 24 horas de Le Mans y las terminó a una media de 70,5 km/h. Y lo más importante fue que el coche no sufrió ningún tipo de problema y las juntas Tracta alcanzaron una justa y merecida fama. Tanta que la marca abandonó los coches en unos pocos años para centrarse en sus juntas homocinéticas. Todos pudieron comprobar que la tracción delantera ya estaba lista para ser usada en coches de calle y llegó… DKW: Los pioneros. Siempre digo que la realidad supera la ficción… y este es el caso. Y es que fue un cliente de Tracta el que, entusiasmado con el comportamiento de su coche, habló de las ventajas de la tracción delantera a J. S. Rasmussen, fundador de la marca DKW. Y fue en el Salón de Paris de 1929 cuando tuvo lugar un “encuentro en la cumbre” entre Grégoire y Rasmussen para adoptar la tracción delantera en sus coches de dos tiempos a partir de 1931. Y es que el primer coche con tracción delantera de producción en series importantes, de miles de coches, en concreto 4.353 unidades, no fue el Citroën Traction, sino el DKW F1. A este primer DKW le siguieron muchos con esta transmisión, como los F8, F91, F93, F94 y F102, entre otros. Realmente la marca alemana DKW fue la que primero apostó fuerte por este sistema que introdujo con éxito en toda su gama y que constituyó una de las características de estos interesantes coches… Y ¡por fin! llegó el Traction… El Traction Avant lanzado en 1934 destacó por muchos motivos, entre ellos la tracción delantera… pero no solo por eso. Gracias a este sistema y a su chasis monocasco este modelo era claramente más bajo que sus contemporáneos. Esto repercutía mucho en la estética, pero sobre todo en su estabilidad que era magnifica, muy superior a la de sus rivales. Fue la llegada del Mini en 1957, que combina la tracción delantera con el motor transversal para conseguir un aprovechamiento insuperable del espacio, el que ya definió el concepto de coche moderno, que ha llegado hasta nuestros días… Conclusión. Si pensabas que el Citroën Traction fue el primer tracción delantera ya has visto que hubo muchos, pero muchos coches con este sistema antes que él. Algunos eran prototipos, otros muy minoritarios, otros de competición, pero otros, como los DKW, que se vendieron en grandes series.

   Again, Trump gets more done in one weekend than other presidents get done in a quarter.  We are slammed with important leads today explaining the 90 day trade agreement with China, Trump's plan to cut the cost of meds, and an American prisoner released from the middle.  And for the cherry on top, Trump is driving dems crazy because he's getting a new 747-8 for FREE!    The Royals bats were awful again this weekend so we will have to be happy they only lost two out of three to the Red Sox.    Kyle Larson wins at Kansas Speedway Sunday in the Advent Health 400 and it wasn't nearly as close this time.  And the defending champion of the PGA Championship this week has the snootiest champions dinner menu ever.  Count me out on rooting for this player.

The 1909 opening of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway marked a foundational moment in the history of automotive racing. Events at the famed track and others like it also helped launch America's love affair with cars and an embrace of road systems that transformed cities and shrank perceptions of space. Brian Ingrassia tells the story of the legendary oval's early decades. This story revolves around Speedway cofounder and visionary businessman Carl Graham Fisher, whose leadership in the building of the transcontinental Lincoln Highway and the iconic Dixie Highway had an enormous impact on American mobility. Ingrassia looks at the Speedway's history as a testing ground for cars and airplanes, its multiple close brushes with demolition, and the process by which racing became an essential part of the Golden Age of Sports. At the same time, he explores how the track's past reveals the potent links between sports capitalism and the selling of nostalgia, tradition, and racing legends. Learn more about your ad choices.

In our last podcast we learned how Roberto Guerrero climbed the European racing ladder to Formula One and then hopped the pond to race Indy cars. This week he talks about the transition from a road racing background to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. In 1992 he earned pole position there in a Buick-powered Lola but never took the green flag! In 1987 he had a terrible crash during a tire test at the Speedway. He explains what happened and how he got back behind the wheel again! What's he up to these days? He fills us in on that too. Enjoy!
