Listen Later

What did you think of the IndyCar commercials on Superbowl Sunday? Conor Daly and co-host Chase Holden are back on Speed Street to react to the exciting effort that FoxSports is putting into promoting the IndyCar Series in 2025. Also, big news drops as the announcement is made that Indianapolis Motor Speedway President Doug Boles will also be taking over the presidential role with IndyCar. Conor explains why Doug is a great choice for the job and how he has demonstrated his dedication to growing the sport over the last few years. 

Up and coming racing star Connor Zilisch joins the show to chat about his meteoric rise from European kart racing to becoming a full-time NASCAR Xfinity Series racer in 2025. Connor explains that Kevin Harvick was instrumental in helping him get his footing in the NASCAR world through an opportunity in Trans Am racing. Since finding success in TA2, Connor has made a splash in sports car racing, ARCA and NASCAR before signing a developmental deal with Trackhouse Racing and Red Bull. Through it all, Connor has managed to stay realistic in his expectations and tune out the noise and pressure put on him, trying more so to enjoy the ride and learn from every race he competes in. Connor explains that while he is on track to have a successful career in NASCAR, his ultimate ambitions in motorsports exceed beyond stock car racing and he hopes to compete in the Indianapolis 500 one day.
