Listen Later

Welcome to our motorsports podcast where we discuss F1, IndyCar, IMSA, NASCAR, our own racing adventures, and some other adventures!

NASCAR went bowling at the Glen this weekend as Turn 1 looked just like that for a lot of the restarts that happened during the races. Chris Buescher comes out on top as he capitalizes on a last lap mistake from SVG through the bus stop. NASCAR heads to Bristol for the last race of the first round of playoffs.

IndyCar had its season finale at Nashville Superspeedway and this race did not disappoint! Well it did a little bit in regards of the championship drama as Will Power has some bad luck and Alex Palou walks away with his 3rd IndyCar Championship. It was a tall order to begin with for Power but an issue with his lap belts unbuckling certainly put an end to his championship hopes rather quickly.

Formula 1 kicked off it's street race double header at Baku where 3 teams were nose to tail in the final laps of the race! These drivers were so close to each other that Sainz and Perez got into each other and very up close and personal with a wall that ended both of their races a lap short of the checkered flag. Piastri came out victorious with no controversy to spoil this win for him. LeClerc with a great 2nd finish (although tough to say after starting on pole). Norris had a bounceback finish of 4th after starting 17th. The struggles continue for Verstappen as he finishes 5th.

WEC raced at Fuji and what an entertaining race it was! Toyota got hit pretty hard with some BOP adjustments which meant we got a few new teams to see the podium for their first time in the Hypercar era - BMW finishes 2nd and Alpine finishes 3rd! The #6 Porsche Penske continues its successful run this season with their 2nd win of the season. This car has yet to finish outside of the top 10 with a 6th place finish as their worst result. Meanwhile in LMGT3, Manthey Porsche #92 officially clinches the GT3 class championship as they took 2nd place this weekend behind the #54 Vista AF Corsa Ferrari.

Coming up this weekend: NASCAR is at Bristol, F1 is in Singapore, and IMSA is at Indianapolis for a 6 hour race at the Brickyard.
