Listen Later

It’s finally Long Beach Grand Prix week, and Conor Daly has a brand new livery just in time for the famed event. He joins co-host Chase Holden to chat about the Mannkind-sponsored Juncos Hollinger 76 entry he’ll be piloting this weekend, as well as what listeners should expect to see when IndyCar hits the track. The race has been lengthened to 90 laps this season, which Conor explains will unlock new opportunities for strategy. Drivers and teams will also be dealing with a similar tire selection to the St. Pete season opener, which showed favorable results. The guys make their podium picks for the race and chat about the other latest news around the IndyCar paddock.

In celebration of the 40th anniversary of his 1985 Indianapolis 500 victory, IndyCar legend Danny Sullivan joins the program. He fills listeners in on his journey from Louisville, Kentucky to the famous Jim Russell Driving School in England, which sent him on the path of formula racing. After a brief stint in Formula One in 1983, Danny would return Stateside and take his place in the CART paddock. In 1985, Danny completed the famous “spin and win” at the Brickyard, which has become one of the most iconic moments in the history of the race. He chats with Conor and Chase about what life was like on the grid back then and what the victory did for his life and career.
