S2E41 - My Favorite Motorspeedway

A very spooky episode! First some INDYCAR news (including Molly’s vodka is no longer in racing), then our Woman of the Week Beitske Visser who has some really interesting facts (15:42). After that, we dive into spooky true crime stories including the Speedway Burger Chef Murders (27:37) and the murder of Elmer George and it’s connection to the Indy 500 (1:06:00). We continue the spookiness with unlucky green cars in Shit We Didn’t Make Up (1:29:45). Happy Halloween! Remember don’t go to a second location unless it’s at a racetrack and a golf cart is involved!

S2E40 - The Live (at the time) Pocono Show

In Pocono, we had the fun of being the opening act for Off Track’s live show. During our show, we had Missy from the Indy Sports Car Podcast and Juliana (our driver analyst) up to talk about being a female INDYCAR fan. We then interviewed the PAIN Tour about what they stand for, the fun they have, and how it all got started (19:00). We closed the show chatting with our two favorite races Alex and Jackson about their careers in racing, and their futures – we think they’ll be your favorite racers after you hear their interview (26:10). Thanks again to all of our guests, to our Hosts, to the crowd for chatting with us as we had A/V issues in the beginning, and to Off Track for letting us join in their fun!

S2E39 - Fast Women, Fast Men, and Spoilers

You knew we’d start the episode off with the big news surrounding women in motorsports. First – the good news about the MSR all-female team.

Our Woman of the Week is Ellen Lohr and she’s feisty! (42:22) Then we discuss the Born Racer movie and there are SPOILERS, you are warned. (51:29). Finally, Shit We Didn’t Make Up is Scott Dixon’s record as a racer – so far (1:10:39). Thanks for listening and hope you’re getting your Butterball turkeys!

S2E34 - Race Report: BC39 and the Brickyard 400

Coming to you from a parking lot at the IMS we bring you the BC39 and Brickyard 400 Race Report!

S2E33 - An Interview with Mike Hull

A few weeks ago we had the pleasure of chatting with Mike Hull, the wearer of many hats at Chip Ganassi Racing, both of us came away with our minds blown. We discussed his background in racing, the different drivers he’s worked with (and how he managed to go between different drivers/personalities), and there is one of the greatest explanations of the new aero kit we’ve ever heard. Plus Mike drops a gem of knowledge on us that completely has changed our outlooks.
