Alex Palou, the fastest ever Indianapolis 500 pole-winner, is our star guest for this episode of The Race IndyCar Podcast.
The first Spaniard to win an Indy 500 pole is in good form, discussing why securing pole led to such an emotional celebration, how his analytical nature helped him capture P1, and his motivation and desire to score more poles, this being his first on an oval.
The 2021 IndyCar champion also looks at how his team-mates - especially Scott Dixon - helped him to win the pole, and how the changing conditions meant he thought his chance for pole on Sunday had slipped away before turning it around for the final showdown.
Co-hosts Jack Benyon and JR Hildebrand also break down the bump day drama, where Graham Rahal was expelled from the event by RLL team-mate Jack Harvey, who we also hear from.
And finally, Juncos Hollinger's Callum Ilott stops by to explain his remarkable qualifying journey, which saw him dramatically switch to a backup car that he had just 12 laps in before delivering a run that got him in the field.
Don't forget, if you have a question for our hosting team, you can email text and/or voice notes to be included on the podcast by sending them to [email protected]
