Speed Street

Nothing stops the IndyCar silly season, not even Olympic summer break, and our resident open wheeler Conor Daly is in the thick of it. He joins co-host Chase Holden to react to the late breaking news that Juncos Hollinger Racing has parted ways with Agustin Canapino leaving the 78 car vacant ahead of the upcoming race at Gateway. Conor was recently seen testing the car at the St. Louis-based track and he fills listeners in on what the latest developments are for the ride. He also gives some insight to how the test went, which saw him turn the fourth fastest lap of the session behind the three Andretti Global entries. The guys also react to the news that Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing will field a fourth car for Yuri Vips at the upcoming event in Portland.

Former Arrow McLaren racer and 2023 Formula 2 Champion Théo Pourchaire calls into the show to chat about his stint in the IndyCar Series this year and what is on the horizon in his promising career. Théo gives listeners a better picture of his racing background as he discusses his time spent in the Formula 2 and 3 ranks. He also talks about his transition to IndyCar and how he feels he may have underestimated the difficulty of the series. Théo reflects on his favorite parts of American culture he experienced during his time in the States and what it was like attending the Indianapolis 500 Month of May festivities. Finally, Théo speculates on what may be next for him in motorsports and how he hopes to return to the IndyCar paddock for another shot at a full-time season.
