The IndyCar Report with Elijah Poe: Markham Reaction (Guest: Dave Chanley, 3.1) · The Central Indiana Sports Report

0:07
[SPEAKER_02]: You are listening to the Indie car report with Elijah Poe, joined today by Dave Chandley for their reaction to the Indie car race at Markham in Canada on Sunday.
0:19
[SPEAKER_02]: It's our first official podcast of season three of the Central Indiana Sports Report.
0:23
[SPEAKER_02]: Really, the only thing this changed is, we don't have any set days anymore.
0:27
[SPEAKER_02]: We just are gonna podcast when we podcast and here we are to podcast.
0:34
[SPEAKER_02]: Elijah, really fun racially.
0:37
[SPEAKER_01]: We're all a little bit worried about what Markham would be with them having to completely cancel that Friday practice.
0:45
[SPEAKER_01]: But you know, these cars got on track for a race and I would put it in the top three races of the year so far.
0:53
[SPEAKER_01]: It was fun, Dave.
0:55
[SPEAKER_00]: It was totally different what I expected.
0:57
[SPEAKER_00]: I expected it to be followed the leader.
1:00
[SPEAKER_00]: And the hairpin, I thought, well, that add to the racing.
1:05
[SPEAKER_00]: It became bumper cars there.
1:07
[SPEAKER_00]: And really made for a great race.
1:11
[SPEAKER_02]: I think I texted the yesterday.
1:12
[SPEAKER_02]: It might be the best corner in an indie car now.
1:16
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it was.
1:18
[SPEAKER_01]: It made for interest.
1:20
[SPEAKER_00]: That didn't know questions.
1:22
[SPEAKER_01]: And I don't think that corn was either supposed to be like that.
1:25
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think why they're owned by their own mistake.
1:28
[SPEAKER_01]: Just ended up working, which I got to give.
1:31
[SPEAKER_01]: I got to say you're a little lucky ending car, but it worked.
1:35
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, the horseshoe.
1:36
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll grab that.
1:37
[SPEAKER_01]: The horseshoe's going to be a legend to itself, I think.
1:40
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think the track overall, I know the horseshoe got its gripes and on social media and stuff.
1:46
[SPEAKER_01]: But I think that track was actually really fun to watch on.
1:49
[SPEAKER_01]: It just looked like those cars were absolutely flying, and they were super racy, which is all you really want to see on a street course.
1:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, thanks a new pavement, too.
1:58
[SPEAKER_00]: It's brand new pavement, and I think that helped, and I think that made for a red tire race more than a hard tire race, and I think that makes it more interesting.
2:11
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think any car is nailed it with the strategy aspect of the sport.
2:17
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, no doubt about it.
2:19
[SPEAKER_02]: Speaking of strategy, look like Marcus Erickson made a horrible decision.
2:25
[SPEAKER_02]: They go to his pitbox and his strategy just explains it in a horrible way.
2:30
[SPEAKER_02]: And everyone's thinking, what in the world are you guys doing?
2:33
[SPEAKER_02]: There's no way this race is going green for that
2:38
[SPEAKER_02]: and it did and markets and ended up making the right decision after all.
2:44
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, not only Marcus, but, uh, arrow.
2:46
[SPEAKER_00]: I texted you.
2:47
[SPEAKER_00]: I said, what do they think and that's stupid, but uh, what was me?
2:51
[SPEAKER_00]: They came out all right as well.
2:54
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, the way they explained it was stupid, but it ended up being the right strategy.
3:00
[SPEAKER_02]: He explained it that he thought it was going to go green the rest of the way.
3:03
[SPEAKER_02]: And who was thinking that at that point?
3:06
[SPEAKER_02]: So everyone thinking this is the dumbest thing in the world is completely understandable.
3:11
[SPEAKER_02]: But, you know, the way it turned out and I think Elijah,
3:19
[SPEAKER_02]: Marcus Erickson reacted to me calling him boring last week because that was a fun drive.
3:24
[SPEAKER_01]: That was the drive of the year.
3:26
[SPEAKER_01]: Other than Rosenquist at the 500, I would say absolutely, it's just impressive to see him get back to what we thought he was going to be really a couple years ago, Ganesi, and I think, and Dreddy, if you look over the course of his season, he's had a pretty sneaky, pretty good season.
3:44
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think you needed it.
3:45
[SPEAKER_01]: Obviously, just sign that new contract.
3:47
[SPEAKER_01]: I think, and Dreddy, you know, if they keep this momentum up, they could be maybe the team to beat beside Ganesi next
3:54
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, not only him, but will power.
3:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Who does to will power got it up for third and was really in the hunt for second when when his teammate and he that little brush up, I'm going to say, hey, will he's going for it.
4:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Lutting by.
4:12
[SPEAKER_00]: That's right.
4:13
[SPEAKER_00]: He's not going to be stopped.
4:15
[SPEAKER_00]: there was nothing.
4:17
[SPEAKER_02]: I can't believe how bad will bucks than was on that call with five laps to go saying he has a chance to catch him.
4:24
[SPEAKER_02]: I was like, he's going to catch him by the end of the slap.
4:26
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, what are you talking about?
4:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Buxton is dramatic.
4:30
[SPEAKER_00]: He ended the race.
4:32
[SPEAKER_00]: He was like, this is the greatest day for him.
4:34
[SPEAKER_00]: I think
4:45
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm like, hey, there's guys want a 500.
4:49
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow.
4:51
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a shame to have.
4:52
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought he was going to be really, really good, but I feel like in moments he just gets into the screaming match with himself.
4:59
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's funny because Hensh and Townsend are kind of the exact opposites.
5:03
[SPEAKER_01]: They are rare, so like screaming and getting on the mic.
5:06
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think it took away from the race, but it definitely did, it definitely wasn't the call you wanted at the end.
5:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, Hanchan towns and are both analytical and they were on board with us and say in calling it a bad move that and then they they both said we grow because
5:28
[SPEAKER_02]: uh... they knew what they were doing and uh... also shout out so we sawster but it went hold on Dave hold on we'll get back did they know what they were doing because when you explained it shouldn't seem like you knew what he was doing it just kind of turned out right i don't know that expected to turn out that way uh... you might be right a luck luck is uh... sometimes better than skill but
5:59
[SPEAKER_02]: Once you get that yellow and it allowed him to recycle back into eighth rather than at the end of the pack.
6:05
[SPEAKER_02]: And they were said that the goal was to go green the whole way.
6:08
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, it didn't.
6:10
[SPEAKER_02]: And yet it still made it work.
6:12
[SPEAKER_02]: So, and I think that's a testament to Marcus Ayricks and who was really, really good on a track that didn't seem like it was going to anyone was going to be able to be that good.
6:25
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
6:26
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it was interesting just how many drivers were kind of just caught out by the course itself.
6:32
[SPEAKER_01]: Obviously seeing Louis Foster have that incident Kyle Kirkwood in more kind of just get caught out by the walls.
6:40
[SPEAKER_01]: I know Kirkwood said it's because the corners weren't like rounded as they're used to having on a lot of these street courses, which I thought was interesting.
6:54
[SPEAKER_01]: ever point out that, but I think the course itself, yeah, two of them, I pointed it out, just the course itself caught out so many drivers.
7:02
[SPEAKER_01]: And honestly, you know, of course, this can make drivers really think more and more.
7:07
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it produced some great racing.
7:08
[SPEAKER_01]: That's where I was going.
7:09
[SPEAKER_02]: That's where I was about to say Elijah.
7:12
[SPEAKER_02]: It really produced some good racing.
7:15
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, hold on real quick.
7:16
[SPEAKER_02]: We're going to take a quick break and we're going to go through the field and talk about really fostered.
7:27
[SPEAKER_02]: Welcome back to the IndyCar Report where we're with Elijah and Dave Chandley, we're going to go through the field.
7:33
[SPEAKER_02]: Before we do Dave, you mentioned Louis Foster what a day for him.
7:37
[SPEAKER_02]: I mentioned him as a dark horse coming into the weekend.
7:42
[SPEAKER_02]: He has really been good this year.
7:44
[SPEAKER_02]: Yesterday, look like it was going to be his day.
7:47
[SPEAKER_00]: He was fantastic, qualification was fantastic, he had a fast car, he was doing everything right until he made a mistake.
7:57
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's too bad, but wow, was he impressed us.
8:04
[SPEAKER_00]: And the team, that would have been a great win for that team.
8:11
[SPEAKER_01]: you look at the incident that happened in that turn there.
8:14
[SPEAKER_01]: I just think he didn't even notice how quick he was coming in.
8:17
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think he stood any chance at all to make that turn at all.
8:22
[SPEAKER_01]: I know he pointed out the wall and I know Kirkwood said, you know, as you said before, we were talking Greg, you know, everybody's seeing the same wall.
8:31
[SPEAKER_01]: The wall is not moving.
8:33
[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, we're watching it and I said did he just blame the wall for his accident?
8:39
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, it's the same place every lap, right?
8:43
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
8:45
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and lack of patience.
8:48
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'll, you know, he's young, but lack of patience.
8:51
[SPEAKER_00]: He had the fastest card at that point.
8:53
[SPEAKER_00]: Wait one more turn.
8:55
[SPEAKER_00]: Didn't go around him.
8:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, well.
8:59
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, well.
9:00
[SPEAKER_00]: Bless you, I learned from him.
9:02
[SPEAKER_02]: He sure has shown that he belongs in the series, though.
9:05
[SPEAKER_00]: No question.
9:07
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he's had, I think, honestly, within the last couple of years, he's kind of sprinkled in these quick moments.
9:15
[SPEAKER_01]: I say quick moments because he has delivered on polls.
9:18
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he's had what three now in his any-car career over the last couple of years, but just hasn't really had the results for it.
9:24
[SPEAKER_01]: And I just think that's his prize youth.
9:27
[SPEAKER_01]: I think you experience it will probably grow in him.
9:29
[SPEAKER_01]: And we know he's confirmed to be in that seat next year.
9:31
[SPEAKER_01]: And I don't think there's any reason why RLL
9:39
[SPEAKER_02]: Louis Foster led the most laps 32, Erickson led 21, the second most laps lead was it was a strategy move, uh, the got him up to second place Roman Grosjon, but can't believe it's been 15 years since this guy won a race because Roman Grosjon is a very talented driver and almost had Dale coin in victory lane.
10:01
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't like him, but he's good.
10:03
[SPEAKER_00]: He's very good, and that would have been a hats off for Dale Coin, for sure, phenomenal.
10:11
[SPEAKER_00]: And really, great strategy, great race.
10:14
[SPEAKER_00]: And he had nothing at the end.
10:17
[SPEAKER_00]: As Ericson was coming, he had nothing.
10:20
[SPEAKER_00]: He couldn't hold him off.
10:22
[SPEAKER_02]: He was still hitting a fuel mark that he had to hit at dealing with a guy coming from behind and like that, there was no way he was holding him off.
10:31
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and honestly, the, I'm surprised he was able to still have enough of a gap where he was able to still beat will power who probably had the second best car of the day.
10:41
[SPEAKER_00]: I was, uh, not only will power, but are the, although it got it up to second place.
10:47
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, um, and then I think he lost his tires, but, uh,
11:01
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, even if Polo had been at his best, he was old enough, Marcus Erickson, either he has to, I don't think.
11:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, no, no way, no.
11:11
[SPEAKER_02]: And then you mentioned Willpower in third place, has it had his win yet, but quite a renaissance the last few races for Willpower.
11:22
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think he looks really, really good.
11:25
[SPEAKER_01]: And you know, obviously starting all the way from the back, coming all the way up to third, what an impressive drive.
11:31
[SPEAKER_01]: And even though he hasn't picked up a win within Dreddy, I would kind of declare the season a success.
11:37
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he's brought a lot to that whole team.
11:41
[SPEAKER_01]: You look at Marcus Erickson.
11:42
[SPEAKER_01]: He was nowhere last year.
11:44
[SPEAKER_01]: I think Willpower definitely has helped Erickson and Kirkwood as well.
11:47
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that whole team is looking way stronger
11:51
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, that team has turned it around in my opinion from early in the year.
11:55
[SPEAKER_00]: They're strong right now.
11:58
[SPEAKER_00]: It'll be interesting to see what happens with Colton heard of.
12:02
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it will be.
12:04
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think it'll be back, but you never know.
12:08
[SPEAKER_00]: I would be surprised if he comes back, but I've been surprised a lot here lately with guys jumping cars and whatnot.
12:18
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
12:20
[SPEAKER_02]: And then Alex Blow finishes fourth, which for him is a bad day, but with Kirkwood finishing 21st and Malukas finishing 17th, it really was Alex Blow's day.
12:33
[SPEAKER_01]: He just doesn't make the mistakes to where he could jeopardize himself.
12:37
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, he could have really, really fought power in Erickson, but at the end of the day, he battled him fairly and tightly, but he wasn't going to put his self at risk because yeah, he capitalized on the points with with Melucus and Kirk would be nowhere.
12:53
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think if he'd had the car to challenge them, he would have put himself at risk, but he realized where he was and what the situation was, like he always does.
13:02
[SPEAKER_02]: And realize there was no way, nothing he could do to hold him off, why put yourself in jeopardy.
13:06
[SPEAKER_02]: So good.
13:06
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he recognized, I don't have the fastest car today.
13:11
[SPEAKER_00]: And as a result, and his mistake in qualifying, which started him 12, he had a great day considering all things he had a great day.
13:23
[SPEAKER_02]: and so much praise for 5th, 6th, and 7th place.
13:27
[SPEAKER_02]: Pado Award Christian Loongard and Ringus VK.
13:30
[SPEAKER_02]: Didn't have the best cars yesterday and still 5th, 6th, and 7th.
13:34
[SPEAKER_02]: Amazing.
13:37
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, I go back and scratch my head and say, how did Pat, I'll get up there for his usual fifth place finished again.
13:46
[SPEAKER_00]: And he is just that good and every time he gets out of the car, he basically complains.
13:55
[SPEAKER_00]: He's upset every time.
13:57
[SPEAKER_00]: upset.
13:58
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not it's not going fast.
13:59
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, they did.
14:02
[SPEAKER_00]: You're scoring well.
14:03
[SPEAKER_00]: You're in fifth in the standings and you've got an outside shot at second place.
14:08
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, couldn't have said it better.
14:10
[SPEAKER_01]: Just such a talented driver.
14:12
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think honestly, him beating Lungard, like sure.
14:16
[SPEAKER_01]: I just think the metrics look better.
14:18
[SPEAKER_01]: This is your team.
14:20
[SPEAKER_01]: If you're going to step up and be the number one driver and be the driver, they focus on for the next years, you need to prove it.
14:25
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think he did yesterday.
14:26
[SPEAKER_01]: And Reena's VK again.
14:28
[SPEAKER_01]: He honestly might be the best of the rest of the Ganesi and Dreddy and Pensdem.
14:34
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he's just so consistent.
14:36
[SPEAKER_01]: It's impressive.
14:38
[SPEAKER_02]: There should be a bidding war for that guy.
14:41
[SPEAKER_00]: Seriously, I agree.
14:42
[SPEAKER_00]: I agree.
14:44
[SPEAKER_00]: I'd love to be his agent right now because I'd be shopping pretty well.
14:48
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah.
14:50
[SPEAKER_02]: And unfortunately, not a lot of open seats, a good team, so I'm not sure what's going to happen with him, but who goes Holland you're asked to be thrilled out of their mind.
15:01
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
15:03
[SPEAKER_02]: Scott McLaughlin really good weekend was competitive at the top of the field most of the weekend and the result just wasn't there and he was the top pensky finisher in eighth place.
15:15
[SPEAKER_02]: They just don't have it on the streets.
15:18
[SPEAKER_01]: No, they don't.
15:19
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think he honestly probably could have finished hired if something's full of his way strategy wise, but yeah, for sure.
15:26
[SPEAKER_01]: I think Scotty Mack is.
15:28
[SPEAKER_01]: It just pitsky has all in on the face value.
15:30
[SPEAKER_01]: They have great, great drivers.
15:32
[SPEAKER_01]: They just don't have the results this year, which is kind of makes these graduate head.
15:38
[SPEAKER_00]: It does, especially when you transfer over to a street course from an oval, that's two different teams.
15:45
[SPEAKER_02]: That's right.
15:48
[SPEAKER_02]: Graham Ray Hall, another top 10, Santino for Ruchia, top 10.
15:54
[SPEAKER_01]: I think those are good results for them.
15:56
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm saying Tino in the top 10, any time an AJ foiee car can get inside the top 10, I can see her that a good day for them.
16:05
[SPEAKER_02]: And then we need to talk about number 11.
16:06
[SPEAKER_02]: The stingray rob guys finished 11.
16:10
[SPEAKER_02]: That's gotta be a career high, right?
16:13
[SPEAKER_00]: It might be.
16:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm happy for the guy.
16:19
[SPEAKER_00]: I love the guy.
16:20
[SPEAKER_00]: I love his success.
16:21
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
16:23
[SPEAKER_00]: I do, too, and I know he brings a lot of money, and that might keep him a ride.
16:29
[SPEAKER_00]: But, you know, I think he's getting better.
16:32
[SPEAKER_00]: He was, he finished 11th.
16:34
[SPEAKER_00]: He was in nobody's way all day, and he was actually in the top 10 for, I think, quite a while, the past him there at the last several laps, some got around him, or he had top 10 finish.
16:47
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, sorry, Stingray.
16:49
[SPEAKER_02]: He does have two top 10 finishes in his career, including earlier this year at Long Beach, so I apologize to you.
16:56
[SPEAKER_02]: The Rob family.
17:00
[SPEAKER_02]: And gateway last year.
17:04
[SPEAKER_02]: Good signs for Stingray.
17:06
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
17:07
[SPEAKER_02]: Also we're seeing some positive signs from Nolan Seagull as well.
17:10
[SPEAKER_02]: He finished 12 and spent some time at the front of the field.
17:15
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think they could be in a seat next year.
17:17
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not really sure where he's going to land, but I know it brings a lot of backing, and man, I think he's only 22, 21 years old.
17:23
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, he's probably, I think he is there in this driver on the grid.
17:28
[SPEAKER_01]: So he's kind of had these sprinkled results over the season.
17:30
[SPEAKER_01]: I think if you're a much smaller team, why not take a shot on him and maybe he finds his place?
17:38
[SPEAKER_00]: He's an up and com or no question area, like you say, he's not even 22 years old yet and he is uh, really he's he's young.
17:45
[SPEAKER_00]: He's learning.
17:46
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think every time he gets out there, he acquits himself pretty well.
17:51
[SPEAKER_00]: He's just gotten better and better of late.
17:53
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, for sure.
17:55
[SPEAKER_02]: He was one of the guys I was deriding as not belonging in the series earlier this year, and I think he's proven me wrong.
18:02
[SPEAKER_02]: 13th place.
18:04
[SPEAKER_02]: Sorry, edit oyster.
18:07
[SPEAKER_02]: 13th place was Joseph Newgarden, 14th place was the other guy I've been deriding and that's Kiffin Simpson and by the way, I haven't really said neither one belongs in the series, I just don't think they belong in a seat that probably belongs to someone who's a contender to win the series, a Ganasie and McLaren.
18:25
[SPEAKER_02]: That's all.
18:27
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think you're wrong about Simpson at all.
18:30
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it'll be in the series again.
18:31
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he's kind of like an old and single where you're just too young to be in the C.E.R.
18:36
[SPEAKER_01]: I think I should go.
18:37
[SPEAKER_01]: I like you said to an older more experienced driver that at the end of the day could be competing with Polo because that's really all we want to see.
18:44
[SPEAKER_01]: That's right.
18:48
[SPEAKER_02]: Dennis Algar, good weekend for him in 15th.
18:51
[SPEAKER_02]: Good last couple races for Dennis.
18:56
[SPEAKER_00]: It does.
18:56
[SPEAKER_00]: He put himself up in a good qualifying and he had, yeah, it was just good weekend for him.
19:03
[SPEAKER_00]: His result was probably worse than what he had as far as all weekend goes.
19:08
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he performed better than his result.
19:14
[SPEAKER_02]: Mark Zermstrong was 16th David Malukus 17th.
19:18
[SPEAKER_02]: He was.
19:21
[SPEAKER_02]: way better than that throughout the race, but again, Pinsky just not very good on the streets right now.
19:28
[SPEAKER_02]: And then you had Scott Dixon, 18th lots of havoc at the back of the standing's here.
19:35
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Scott Dixon, a rare mistake on his, I think he did it to himself.
19:41
[SPEAKER_00]: He gave, he gave, whatever, hitting there and he had, the kid had no room to go through.
19:47
[SPEAKER_00]: Dixon just came over on him and that's a rare mistake for Dixon.
19:50
[SPEAKER_00]: He just doesn't make mistakes.
19:52
[SPEAKER_00]: But it, it cost him and at this point in time, I think he is just looking at his watch and writing out the season and saying, you know, if I finished good, okay, and if I don't,
20:06
[SPEAKER_02]: And then a bunch of cars who did not finish, I'm just going to go through and tell me about the incidents that you want to talk about because there was lots to talk about Kyle Colette 19th, Alexander Rossi 20th, Kyle Kirkwood 21st, Louis Foster, we've already talked about Kristen Rasmussen with 23rd continues the struggle in the street courses, in the 500 champion, Felix Rosenquist was a 24th after last week's win and 25th,
20:34
[SPEAKER_00]: uh... feel for make sure come shoot marker again uh... his weekend was looking pretty good and until it didn't uh... so uh... you know i still have hopes that he's going to be a pretty good race driver in the series yeah agree i just want i would love i want just more results from make and going out to contact pretty much on your own doing is this is not what you want to see uh... you want to see him compete you want to see him finished
21:05
[SPEAKER_00]: It was one positive for Marcus Armstrong, his card didn't go to put right in the middle of the race.
21:09
[SPEAKER_00]: I almost did.
21:12
[SPEAKER_02]: My as well, half.
21:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah.
21:15
[SPEAKER_02]: At least we would have seen it on TV once.
21:19
[SPEAKER_02]: Because I never remember seeing him the entire race.
21:22
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it was rough.
21:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
21:25
[SPEAKER_02]: Another guy who's clearly shown the talent to be in the series.
21:30
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, yes, and I think he's going to do good things with my
21:35
[SPEAKER_02]: are sure hope so.
21:37
[SPEAKER_02]: So for some of these young guys, they've got such good personalities that you hope that they last in the series really.
21:47
[SPEAKER_02]: Probably since the time of Tony Kanon and Alio Castra Navas, the early 2000s to Paul Tracy, probably the best group of personalities that we've had in a long time as well.
21:58
[SPEAKER_02]: We've talked about
22:00
[SPEAKER_02]: on our text stream, the Alex below, usually the guy who's this dominant is hated by now by most people, everyone's tired of seeing him win.
22:09
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think anyone really feels like that, just a really good group of good personalities.
22:15
[SPEAKER_02]: And when you throw in Hinge Cliff and Townsend Bell, it's a, it's a really good time for the series.
22:22
[SPEAKER_00]: It's absolutely a great time and now again a brand new course.
22:27
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they dealt with it well and guess what next weekend?
22:31
[SPEAKER_00]: We've got another brand new course.
22:34
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a perfect segue getting into brand new race in Washington, D.C. next weekend.
22:39
[SPEAKER_01]: Obviously, top of my list is that any card doesn't have these mistakes where they don't have a practice on Friday.
22:45
[SPEAKER_01]: That just cannot be happening on arguably the second biggest stage of the year here next weekend in D.C.
22:51
[SPEAKER_00]: No question, it's a big stage, not only for the people that are going to be there, viewing it in person, because as people visit Washington, there's going to be hundreds of thousands of people that actually look over and say, wow, look at this.
23:04
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's also big for Fox.
23:07
[SPEAKER_00]: I think this is a chance for Fox, who I have nothing but great things to say for.
23:14
[SPEAKER_00]: But this is really a big one that they can really look good at this.
23:23
[SPEAKER_02]: and we will talk all about that on the indie car report later this week we will be joined by Michelle Garmin get her thoughts on Markham and look ahead to what we think is going to be the second biggest race of the year can't wait I'm excited for the whole rest of the season gonna be fun
23:47

23:50
