188 - Late Charge - Christian Rasmussen Scores His First Career IndyCar Win in Milwaukee


Listen Later

With two races left on the 2025 IndyCar schedule, the series returned to the famed Milwaukee Mile, and our resident open wheeler Conor Daly had an up and down day. He joins co-host Chase Holden to discuss how difficult pit box selection made the afternoon challenging in a race where track position was key. Conor explains he felt the 78-team had top-10 speed, but the lack of passing ability on the flat one-mile oval made it difficult to navigate around lapped traffic on the last restart, which relegated him to a 13th place finish. The guys preview the upcoming season finale in Nashville, react to some Formula One rumors and the announcement of the upcoming iRacing/IndyCar console game.

Milwaukee race winner Christian Rasmussen joins the show to chat about capturing his first career IndyCar victory. The feat makes him just the second driver in history to win championships in the lower three series of the Road to Indy and a points-paying event in the top division, along with Kyle Kirkwood. Christian reflects on what the accomplishment means to his career and talks about the amount of well-wishers from his past that have sent him messages of congratulation. The guys talk about the major improvements Ed Carpenter Racing has seen this season, especially on ovals thanks in part to their new partnership with Heartland Foods. The guys also break down the decision to pit late in the race for tires even though track position was so crucial, and how Christian was able to make it through lap traffic to pass leader Alex Palou to roll on to victory.
