Listen Later

The Rolex 24 at Daytona is in the books, which means the 2025 racing season is officially underway. Conor Daly joins co-host Chase Holden to talk about what unfolded in the race and how the IndyCar contingent finished. Conor touches on his past experiences in the grueling race, explains what drivers endure and expresses the desire to be back behind the wheel in the crown jewel event next year. The guys also discuss Fox Sports' new IndyCar ad featuring Alex Palou and his upcoming mediation in the McLaren contract lawsuit, what the Super Bowl might have in store for the upcoming Pato O’Ward commercial and Penske taking over the Nashville season finale.

Fresh off his stint at the Rolex 24, friend of the show Felix Rosenqvist stops by to enlighten listeners on his experience behind the wheel of a Grand Touring Prototype this past weekend. He explains the differences between driving an IndyCar, which he says requires a lot of aggression to maneuver, with the  state of the art GTP, which needs a softer touch. He also gives admiration to his Meyer Shank teammate Tom Blomqvist, who excels behind the wheel of the GTP and closed in on Team Penske in the final laps to nearly bring home the victory. Conor and Tom dig into MSR’s new technical alliance with Chip Ganassi Racing and how the teams have been operating together. They also look forward to the 2025 season and Felix lays out some goals he has for the upcoming year.
