93 - Building a Brand: LA Chargers Running Back Austin Ekeler & Why Was Laguna Seca So Messy?
The 2023 IndyCar season is officially over and Conor Daly and Joey Mulinaro are back on Speed Street to break down the chaotic season finale at Laguna Seca. The guys talk about how IndyCar’s exhibition planned for next year could lead to more schedule changes in the future, why drivers were being so aggressive during this past Sunday’s race, Conor’s hilarious coffee meeting he took part in, and why Conor gives out a long list of ‘Yikes’ during this week’s Milk, Dog and Yikes segment.
Then, the guys talk with LA Chargers Running Back Austin Ekeler about his first IndyCar race experience this year at Long Beach, the similarities and differences between being an IndyCar driver and an NFL player, why he emphasizes engaging with fans as an influencer, discusses why NFL week one sees lower scoring compared to other weeks, and his role in making sure running backs are getting fair contracts across the NFL.
