127 - 2024 Indy 500 Post Race Show with Indy 500 Winner Josef Newgarden

Conor Daly returns from finishing 10th in the 2024 Indianapolis 500 to join co-host Chase Holden and recap the action from this year’s “Greatest Spectacle in Motorsports”. After experiencing an electric environment at Carb Day and Legends Day leading up to Sunday, Conor fills listeners in on what it was like participating in the first rain delayed 500 in his career. Chase chimes in with his perspective from the grandstand and how impactful the opening ceremonies of the race are for fans in attendance. Conor also gives a detailed breakdown of what his race was like behind the steering wheel, including taking advantage of an early caution to use a different pit strategy and a couple of hair-raising technical difficulties. 

Josef Newgarden joins the show as part of his Indy 500 winning media tour. Josef details his own personal experience during the rain delay and what his team’s plan was to deal with the uncertain conditions the race had due to the later start time. Conor and Josef relate on how their cars were handling throughout the event and if Team Penske made the decision to trim out at any points to combat the cooling track temperatures. Josef praises the ability to use the outside lane effectively and credits two prominent race lines as being a major contributing factor to the on track action. Finally, the guys chat about the environment at the track and how each year the event seems to feel bigger than the preceding 500.
