Transcript
- 0:08[SPEAKER_02]: You are listening to a special edition of the Indie Car Report with Elijah Poe, Elijah's and guest Michelle Garman's reaction to Saturday's qualifying, near St. Louis, and a preview of Sunday's race.
- 0:24[SPEAKER_00]: It's going to be amazing!
- 0:28[SPEAKER_02]: Welcome Indie Car fans to the Central Indian Sports Report for a special edition of the Indie Car Report with Elijah Poe.
- 0:35[SPEAKER_02]: Also joined here today by Tipton Tribune and I would call it a sports editor Michelle Garmin to recap qualifying for the Indie car race in St. Louis this weekend and then preview the race on Sunday 9 o'clock Sunday on Fox qualifying just into the Lysia and Alex below it's not that he won the poll.
- 1:01[SPEAKER_02]: It was the way that he just dominated the field again.
- 1:05[SPEAKER_01]: There's just nobody better, winning by more than it was 1.1 miles an hour, where it was all set and done and average.
- 1:12[SPEAKER_01]: We didn't even see anybody come close to.
- 1:15[SPEAKER_01]: And of course, he's the last run.
- 1:17[SPEAKER_01]: Just absolutely on rails through those two laps.
- 1:21[SPEAKER_01]: For qualifying average, it just makes the lap because he's just so incredibly good every week.
- 1:27[SPEAKER_01]: And four pulls in a row, including the Indianapolis 500.
- 1:31[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, my gosh, you just can't get any better.
- 1:35[SPEAKER_00]: He's just been, he's phenomenal, he in that team.
- 1:38[SPEAKER_00]: And these poles, let's face it.
- 1:40[SPEAKER_00]: He, when you look at it, where it qualified late, it in the 500 in, ends up with a pole.
- 1:49[SPEAKER_00]: And today, qualified is like, what last?
- 1:55[SPEAKER_00]: Ends up with a pole.
- 1:57[SPEAKER_00]: He just, he and his team just know what they need to do.
- 2:01[SPEAKER_00]: And in qualifying here in recent weeks,
- 2:04[SPEAKER_00]: And that, it's like we can find that speed.
- 2:09[SPEAKER_00]: We can make this happen and they do it.
- 2:13[SPEAKER_02]: Four poles in a row for Alex Polo, and Honda took five of the top seven spots.
- 2:18[SPEAKER_02]: It was Honda and Pinsky.
- 2:20[SPEAKER_02]: David Maluca is starting next to Polo Elijah.
- 2:24[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I really think especially on these short ovals.
- 2:27[SPEAKER_01]: We started to see all these drivers have said Honda is able to really accelerate quicker than the Chevy's.
- 2:36[SPEAKER_01]: It's incredible that what the hotness have been able to do.
- 2:38[SPEAKER_01]: Molly guys have been on record saying the hotness able to generate more torque and more acceleration than the Chevy's are.
- 2:46[SPEAKER_01]: And I think we're seeing that here, especially on a short oval, but I do think it's going to be interesting just because when we have pack running on this short oval, I think the, I would tend to argue that the Chevy's kind of had the advantage, at least.
- 2:59[SPEAKER_01]: have in recent years, even though Kirkwood, one last year in a Honda, that was probably Joseph Newgarn's race before he was caught out by Louis Foster who was a backbutt, an incredible day for Pinsky as well as Polo with Malukas and second and Scotty Mac and fifth.
- 3:15[SPEAKER_01]: Pretty solid, pretty solid, but that's to be expected.
- 3:23[SPEAKER_02]: And the second row all Honda, by the way, the
- 3:27[SPEAKER_02]: Qualifying order was last place to first in the standings.
- 3:31[SPEAKER_02]: So we kept seeing drivers a lot throughout the day go from, or go to the top of the standings and including the very last driver of the day Alex Plough.
- 3:41[SPEAKER_02]: winning the poll.
- 3:42[SPEAKER_02]: Kyle Kirkwood went to second place behind Malukus when he was next the last and then Felix Rosenquist, the ND500 winner, starting outside of road two and Elijah before the season in our season preview.
- 3:56[SPEAKER_02]: One of the questions I asked you was, Will Meyer Shank joined Ganesi Pinsky and Dreddy and Arrow McLaren as the next big team.
- 4:11[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think it's all but confirmed.
- 4:13[SPEAKER_01]: They've had such a stellar season.
- 4:15[SPEAKER_01]: Obviously winning the 500 is one thing, but to be weakened and weak out consistent, we've got Felix and fourth and Marcus Armstrong and sixth.
- 4:24[SPEAKER_01]: That's an incredible result for a two car team.
- 4:27[SPEAKER_01]: This organization is getting a third car in 2028.
- 4:30[SPEAKER_01]: That's already been decided.
- 4:32[SPEAKER_01]: So talk about them joining those other teams.
- 4:34[SPEAKER_01]: I think they are well on their way.
- 4:38[SPEAKER_00]: Well, they certainly have been good here at Blake and Felix Rosenquist is proving himself to be a pretty dark, gone, good driver himself.
- 4:48[SPEAKER_00]: I kind of like his style a little bit.
- 4:50[SPEAKER_00]: He kind of likes it on the edge, not quite.
- 4:56[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe his edgy is for Ruchi, but I just like it.
- 4:59[SPEAKER_00]: He kind of likes it if his car is a little bit loose.
- 5:03[SPEAKER_00]: He seems to do really well.
- 5:07[SPEAKER_00]: I know with all the success, Plo has had horse-rate poles and leading the points, but I still think this has been a great, fun exciting indie car season so far.
- 5:21[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, no doubt.
- 5:22[SPEAKER_02]: Rosary, we mentioned Marcus Armstrong and the outside, Scott McLaughlin really good run on the inside.
- 5:30[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think that's going to be you look at really these top 10 drivers obviously this is going to be a 500 mile race, but the top 10, especially I all think has a really good shot at winning just because you get these cars on short ovals and just one bad caution can kind of throw somebody out of the race.
- 5:48[SPEAKER_01]: So it's going to be super super fun to watch and just really looking forward to seeing the all these cars race tomorrow night it's going to be awesome.
- 5:59[SPEAKER_02]: Row 4 Scott Dixon and Joseph new garden a little disappointing for new garden.
- 6:04[SPEAKER_02]: I didn't see my key quiet had it.
- 6:09[SPEAKER_00]: Do you not wonder I still wonder if new garden with the foot, if he's going to not try to push it in qualifying.
- 6:18[SPEAKER_00]: So he can save and maybe push a little bit more in the race and then want to take a chance of having an accident or anything like that.
- 6:25[SPEAKER_00]: So play it safe enough that you're not at the back of the pack and qualifying, but that you don't try to push so hard that you may be, it's becomes a little risky.
- 6:37[SPEAKER_01]: I think I think it'll still be a factor though.
- 6:39[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, for sure.
- 6:41[SPEAKER_01]: You know, winning here five times just a new one to St. Louis is going to be a fact.
- 6:47[SPEAKER_01]: They put that startup that he's won there five times.
- 6:50[SPEAKER_01]: It's incredible, I think, of even if he is hurt.
- 6:54[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, interested, I've heard some people say he's probably using his right foot to break as well, but since it's being an oval, I think he that foot really shouldn't cost him too badly.
- 7:06[SPEAKER_02]: Definitely not as bad as being on those tight streets last week.
- 7:09[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's for sure.
- 7:13[SPEAKER_02]: Rho 5, disappointing performance today by Paddo Ward, who was fastest in the morning practice, I think he'll be a factor as well.
- 7:22[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, no doubt, that McLaren car.
- 7:24[SPEAKER_01]: We talked about it during the whole month of May, but it just looks like such an absolute pain in the butt to drive a good on Paddo for sticking it up there.
- 7:32[SPEAKER_01]: And obviously, we know he's gonna move through the field no matter what tomorrow.
- 7:39[SPEAKER_02]: And on the outside of Rho 5 Alexander Rossi who, especially compared to his teammate who is in the back of the field, a really good run for him.
- 7:51[SPEAKER_00]: Really good run.
- 7:52[SPEAKER_00]: Another good run for him and like my new garden.
- 7:54[SPEAKER_00]: He's also got the bomb leg and everything and I think, you know, I think it's important.
- 8:01[SPEAKER_00]: I think it was important for both new garden and Rossi to get good.
- 8:05[SPEAKER_00]: spots and qualifying.
- 8:07[SPEAKER_00]: So then they can put it go all out to the race tomorrow.
- 8:12[SPEAKER_00]: And I look for Rossi, he was moving pretty well through the field last week until he had that incident.
- 8:19[SPEAKER_00]: I look for him to possibly throw his hat in the ring for a contender expert, contender to win a race, especially if he doesn't run into some bad luck,
- 8:34[SPEAKER_02]: and another one who really outperformed his teammates and another one of our favorites, Graham Ray Hall and will start 11th, his teammates are both starting on the ninth row, so really nice run for Graham Ray Hall.
- 8:51[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's been a really great stretch for Ray Hall, really all season, the fact,
- 8:56[SPEAKER_01]: It's really him and Polo who have at least three podiums this season.
- 9:00[SPEAKER_01]: That's pretty incredible coming from RLL.
- 9:03[SPEAKER_01]: If he's able to maybe get up in the top five, I don't think that car can compete to for a win, but you really never know, but I think he can compete for maybe being in the first couple rows here.
- 9:17[SPEAKER_02]: I think it's more likely he finishes at the back than at the front, but he has shown a lot.
- 9:22[SPEAKER_02]: And that team just has not looked good all weekend, I think he will that car to the front to the middle of the back there.
- 9:30[SPEAKER_02]: Not wrong.
- 9:31[SPEAKER_02]: And starting to side him and Andretty Marcus Erickson, not a great performance by him either.
- 9:38[SPEAKER_02]: Just does not seem to be working except for Andy for Erickson and Andretty.
- 9:43[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you know, he's had a good result.
- 9:45[SPEAKER_01]: Obviously, he had a top 10 last week at the Troy.
- 9:47[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think he's having the worst of seasons, but we know how good he is on ovals.
- 9:52[SPEAKER_01]: And I think I wouldn't be surprised to see him move through the field tomorrow.
- 9:58[SPEAKER_02]: But he's a guy we expected to be.
- 10:01[SPEAKER_02]: There was a point where we expected him to be a championship contending type driver.
- 10:05[SPEAKER_02]: And the last couple years with Andrew, and he just, we haven't seen that.
- 10:09[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not sure other than Kirkwood,
- 10:15[SPEAKER_02]: In row seven, it's Rina's VK and Kiffin Simpson.
- 10:20[SPEAKER_02]: Row eight, Santino Farucci and Christian Loonguard, one of the few cars that went late, that just did not have a good performance, starting in row eight.
- 10:31[SPEAKER_01]: Lingard really looks like a totally different driver when you get him on the short oval specifically.
- 10:37[SPEAKER_01]: It just feels like he has yet to find that for as long as he's been in any car or seeing him all the way down there in 16th when he's not mathematically out of the championship but it's pretty much already settled but as somebody who's at least up there to be down in 16th is a really bad result.
- 10:55[SPEAKER_02]: Michelle, I won't be surprised if Loon Guard is at the front tomorrow.
- 10:59[SPEAKER_02]: He's that talented.
- 11:00[SPEAKER_02]: And I think the arrow McLaren's are going to be better in the race trim than they work today.
- 11:09[SPEAKER_00]: The very well could be I think that of course, I tweeted that in our group chat.
- 11:14[SPEAKER_00]: I think the addition of Ryan Hunter Ray.
- 11:17[SPEAKER_00]: somebody who can maybe help one guard get better and stronger on those short of I think arrow McLaren they're very they're competitive if I can see them finishing better than they qualified in Ronin as I mentioned all RLL we foster and make Schumacher the fastest rookie in the field
- 11:40[SPEAKER_02]: Christian Rasmussen and Kyle Collett are in Roten will power in row 11 next to Nolan Seagull and if you're in an and dready in an arrow McLaren and row 11, it is not a good day.
- 11:53[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, pretty rough, but I am excited to see Christian Rasmussen from 19th.
- 11:57[SPEAKER_01]: We know how good he is on short ovals and you know, we saw him at Phoenix move through that field really, really quick and I would not be surprised to see him up in the top 10, maybe within the first 50 laps or so.
- 12:09[SPEAKER_01]: But for Willpower, yeah, it's kind of the same story we had at Phoenix where he's starting from the back of the pack.
- 12:15[SPEAKER_01]: If he's able to turn that around into a decent result, I guess we'll have to see this is short short track racing and you think it happened, but for to be in an injury and a McLaren all the way back in the field, it's kind of leaves a sour taste in your mouth, especially after last week when he was just having such a good run and just got taken out.
- 12:39[SPEAKER_00]: Elijah and Gray, how much does Ras Musin signing that Christian Ras Musin, signing that multi-year deal?
- 12:46[SPEAKER_00]: How much does that, do you think free him up mentally and confidently for the rest of the season and even tomorrow?
- 12:54[SPEAKER_02]: I think carpenter racians really have him.
- 12:57[SPEAKER_02]: I think that's the way I see it.
- 13:00[SPEAKER_02]: I think they're the ones who are relieved.
- 13:02[SPEAKER_01]: We got him locked up, he is a real talent.
- 13:06[SPEAKER_01]: I'm on the exact same side as a Greg,
- 13:08[SPEAKER_01]: I read an interesting take the other day that Christian Rasmussen might not be a contender at every race, but there's four or five tracks on this calendar where he is guaranteed to be a factor.
- 13:20[SPEAKER_01]: And there's not a lot of drivers you can say that about other than maybe four or five of them.
- 13:27[SPEAKER_01]: So I think that just goes a show how much of a young talent he is.
- 13:31[SPEAKER_01]: And I think Ed Carpenter is pretty, pretty well off with Alexander Rossine Christians and Christian Rasmussen for the next couple of years.
- 13:38[SPEAKER_01]: I can't wait to see their development.
- 13:40[SPEAKER_02]: And to be fair, I think Rasmussen loves what they're doing at Carpenter.
- 13:44[SPEAKER_02]: I think he loves that they take oval seriously and he's gotten really comfortable with oval's really fast.
- 13:59[SPEAKER_02]: It's just being French all over the place.
- 14:01[SPEAKER_02]: Roman Grosjon, starting 23rd, Dennis Halger, 24th, Stingray Rob in his own row, the 13th row, all by himself.
- 14:12[SPEAKER_01]: I'll be able to see what Dennis Halger can do tomorrow.
- 14:15[SPEAKER_01]: Obviously, we've seen him do some good things this season.
- 14:19[SPEAKER_01]: And I think this is another opportunity for him to kind of take the strategy that not a lot of people run off of and see where he can end up with it.
- 14:29[SPEAKER_01]: He might not get talked about a bunch, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him maybe up in the top 15.
- 14:33[SPEAKER_02]: I have no doubt Elijah, he is a real and serious talent.
- 14:39[SPEAKER_02]: Absolutely.
- 14:41[SPEAKER_02]: There's no doubt in my mind, one day we'll be talking about Dennis Hager as contending for 500s and serious championships.
- 14:50[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, only a matter of time, you get him in the right car and I think he could.
- 14:54[SPEAKER_01]: He's what he's shown as a rookie has been very, very impressive.
- 15:00[SPEAKER_02]: And the series is never at a great Norwegian, so that would be awesome.
- 15:06[SPEAKER_02]: Very Scandinavian field recently, including our recent 500 winner.
- 15:13[SPEAKER_02]: So, all right, guys, we did not have an indie car report this week, so we did not get to make our picks.
- 15:18[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm going to put everybody on the spot right now and have you pick your podium.
- 15:22[SPEAKER_02]: And so I'll give you a couple of seconds to
- 15:26[SPEAKER_02]: go ahead and make my picks and I'm just I'm going to take David Malucas to win his first race ever.
- 15:32[SPEAKER_02]: I think it's going to be Penske's Day.
- 15:33[SPEAKER_02]: I think those cars are going to be great in race trim.
- 15:36[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm going to go Scott McLaughlin second and I'm going to go Alex Polo third.
- 15:43[SPEAKER_01]: I like it.
- 15:43[SPEAKER_01]: I'm also going to go.
- 15:45[SPEAKER_01]: David Malukas and first it just feels right.
- 15:48[SPEAKER_01]: It just feels right.
- 15:49[SPEAKER_01]: We've talked about him not having his first win yet.
- 15:52[SPEAKER_01]: We know how well he ran here last year, I just think it's his time.
- 15:57[SPEAKER_01]: And I think I'm going to go ahead and put Felix Rosenquist in second.
- 16:01[SPEAKER_01]: I think I think he's got a weight lifted off his shoulders.
- 16:04[SPEAKER_01]: He had
- 16:06[SPEAKER_01]: Obviously a contract here.
- 16:07[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's all but said and down.
- 16:09[SPEAKER_01]: He just won that 500 has been running pretty well over the season that he's going to be back at MSR And I'm going to put Alex Ploan third.
- 16:16[SPEAKER_01]: I just can't see him off the podium unless his car blows up seriously.
- 16:20[SPEAKER_02]: He's just that talented Or someone else takes him out like his one DNF this year, Mr Exactly Yep Well a lot can happen on the
- 16:32[SPEAKER_00]: short oval and everything and I'm going to give you my five contenders and my three podiums and then who I think will win.
- 16:39[SPEAKER_00]: How's that?
- 16:40[SPEAKER_00]: Because I need I'm still morning and over in my mind.
- 16:43[SPEAKER_00]: So if I say the names it will help me kind of play.
- 16:46[SPEAKER_02]: I did pick you on the spot.
- 16:48[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think I think I'm looking at the top five.
- 16:51[SPEAKER_00]: You definitely have Maluca's Rosenquist Polo.
- 16:55[SPEAKER_00]: New garden.
- 16:57[SPEAKER_00]: And the fifth one, I think Kirkwood could do well.
- 17:00[SPEAKER_00]: He's the defending champion.
- 17:02[SPEAKER_00]: I hate to put him so far out down.
- 17:04[SPEAKER_00]: And you get to have a nice qualifying run.
- 17:07[SPEAKER_00]: My podium will actually be Malukas, Polo, and New Garden.
- 17:12[SPEAKER_00]: And I think I'll just go ahead and I hate to make it a clean sweep.
- 17:17[SPEAKER_00]: So instead of making a clean sweep, I'm just going to go ahead.
- 17:20[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to take the favor.
- 17:21[SPEAKER_00]: I'll say, Polo to win Malukas second, a new garden third.
- 17:27[SPEAKER_02]: Not one, are you going to take Alex Ploor?
- 17:29[SPEAKER_02]: Are you freaking out of your minds?
- 17:34[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
- 17:34[SPEAKER_02]: I just do.
- 17:34[SPEAKER_00]: How's that?
- 17:36[SPEAKER_02]: So Michelle kind of saved us there.
- 17:39[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, he is so good.
- 17:41[SPEAKER_02]: I do want to say this to Townsend Bell.
- 17:45[SPEAKER_02]: Let's not get ahead of ourselves with the greatest of all time stuff.
- 17:49[SPEAKER_02]: Mario, you won the Daytona 500, he won Monaco, he won World Champion Championship, he won a national championship.
- 17:57[SPEAKER_02]: Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
- 18:00[SPEAKER_01]: I've got to defend towns, and I think it's almost getting that time.
- 18:04[SPEAKER_01]: It's going to be close.
- 18:05[SPEAKER_01]: And then it's close.
- 18:06[SPEAKER_02]: First blow wins in two different disciplines, much less four.
- 18:10[SPEAKER_02]: Then we can start talking.
- 18:12[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you might not have to say the greatest driver, but I look at this way.
- 18:18[SPEAKER_00]: I think he's right there, and like, oh, I just said, and next couple of years, he'll definitely be the greatest.
- 18:23[SPEAKER_00]: He could be, he'll definitely be known as the greatest Indie car driver.
- 18:27[SPEAKER_02]: I definitely think he can be the greatest Indie car driver that is still Marley and Dreti, who while being an Indie car driver went to Daytona and won, and while being an Indie car driver went to Monaco and won.
- 18:40[SPEAKER_02]: So that's what I'm talking about.
- 18:43[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, and he did that thing, did those things,
- 18:48[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, racing.
- 18:49[SPEAKER_00]: I know what that is.
- 18:50[SPEAKER_00]: I know what that is.
- 18:54[SPEAKER_00]: So it was easier to do that when he back when he was racing.
- 18:58[SPEAKER_02]: Elijah, I think it's inevitable that one day we're going to be saying Alex blows the greatest indie guard driver of all time.
- 19:05[SPEAKER_02]: I just don't want us to get ahead of ourselves and forget how great the three greatest are right now and that includes his teammate.
- 19:13[SPEAKER_00]: And can we also then throw his crew chief in the his team.
- 19:17[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not so sure that they The his team should if they have a crew Hall of Fame, they are on and up in the crew Hall of Fame some day and it's one of the reasons I don't think he's ever out in one of the reasons I went ahead and picked him for tomorrow is because I don't think anybody does a better in the pits and just just being able to
- 19:36[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, take advantage of their tire usage, then pull over to him.
- 19:41[SPEAKER_02]: That number 10 has gone straight from one Pablo, one, Toyota to Adario, Fran, Katie to Alex, below, and that team's been right there with an entire time.
- 19:52[SPEAKER_02]: So yes, they are including the Alpinsky for Barry Wanzer is an indie car legend for a reason.
- 20:00[SPEAKER_01]: There is no team manager and racetrack just better than him.
- 20:05[SPEAKER_01]: It's pretty clear and as much as Alex, Flo keeps on driving, this bet car is going to keep on winning.
- 20:12[SPEAKER_02]: I wouldn't let's not forget the AJ Folk was all these things.
- 20:15[SPEAKER_02]: He was his strategist, he was his mechanic, he was his driver.
- 20:21[SPEAKER_02]: Another thing we don't consider when we talk about greatest of all time, we're maybe going to be said, right?
- 20:27[SPEAKER_02]: Right, he also raised the other just some of the other disciplines too so he won he one day tone as well Yep Yeah, so and not to mention every midget and sprint car championship that there was to win and Yeah, you talk about what
- 20:47[SPEAKER_00]: We can't forget, we can't forget an Indiana guy, and I think because he ended his career in NASCAR, sometimes we do, and that's Tony Stewart.
- 20:56[SPEAKER_00]: He can drive when it's any car and he's done it.
- 20:59[SPEAKER_02]: Tony Stewart is very, a J-Foy light.
- 21:02[SPEAKER_00]: Yep.
- 21:03[SPEAKER_02]: You wanted to drive every day, Kyle Bush, by the way, as well, Kurt Bush, too.
- 21:08[SPEAKER_02]: They're just one of the drive every day, and those guys are rare.
- 21:15[SPEAKER_02]: All right, well, thanks so much, guys.
- 21:17[SPEAKER_02]: I will tell you this.
- 21:18[SPEAKER_02]: Love the short ovals.
- 21:20[SPEAKER_02]: Indies the best race out there is everybody knows, but the short ovals, man.
- 21:25[SPEAKER_02]: It's hard to beat them.
- 21:28[SPEAKER_02]: Reminder, there is another practice late Saturday night.
- 21:32[SPEAKER_02]: And the race is a Sunday night race this week.
- 21:36[SPEAKER_02]: Nine o'clock on Sunday, I'll Fox.
