126 - 2024 Indianapolis 500 Preview with Snake Pit Performer Gryffin and IndyCar Racer Nolan Siegel

Speed Street

It's officially Indianapolis 500 week and this episode of Speed Street has everything you need to prepare for the "Greatest Spectacle in Motorsports". Conor Daly returns from Indianapolis Motor Speedway after a high paced week of practice and qualifying to join co-host Chase Holden for a comprehensive breakdown of the action. After weather delays led to limited time on track, Conor and his Dreyer Reinbold crew overcame some technical odds and qualified for the 108th running of the 500. Conor explains what exactly was going on under the hood of the Polka Dot number-24 Chevy and how he feels his ride will stack up against the competition. Also, there's finally some good television ratings news in IndyCar land, could this be a sign of the Kyle Larson effect?

Snake Pit performer Gryffin joins the show in anticipation of his debut at the infamous in-field stage and chats with the guys about what he expects to be a wild experience. The famed DJ reveals that he plans to delay his departing flight from Indianapolis so he can properly take in the event and immerse himself in the race day environment. This year's odd driver out, Dale Coyne Racing's Nolan Siegel also calls into the show to talk about his big crash during practice and how that put his team behind for qualifying. Nolan breaks down the teams efforts to find speed in a short amount of time and what they did to get back into qualifying trim. He also relates with Conor over the experience of racing against the clock and battling for a final starting spot in the field.
