S3E18: Were We All Wrong About Texas? 100th Episode Q&A, Verstappen a Weapon or a Warrior, IndyCar Boring; Yes or No?

1 hour 38 minutes

In this milestone 100th episode, we reflect on our journey and dive into the recent NASCAR race at Texas. We discuss the challenges drivers face with dirty air and passing difficulties, particularly in turn four. We highlight Michael McDowell's two-tire strategy and commend Ross Chastain's veteran-like performance. We debate the next-gen car's sensitivity to dirty air and the importance of driver confidence. Following that, we look into F1's recent race at Miami, and decide, is Max Verstappen a weapon or a warrior? Then, we dive into the IndyCar race that is leaving a few wondering if this season will be worth watching? We wrap up with listener Q&As and a heartfelt thank you to fans for their support, emphasizing the community spirit of motorsports.
