Chances are if you’re listening to this you already who know who Will Power is, but you may not know the “real” Will Power. One of the most dominant figures in INDYCAR competition for nearly 15 years, Will is an Indianapolis 500 champion, an INDYCAR Series champion, but more importantly he’s one of the most unique characters in the sport. In this two-parter we cover it all, from his on-track success to numerous stories of growing up in Australia to his philosophies on life today. Lunch was served at Jeffrey’s Restauranti in Mooresville, NC with the song “Must Be a Cop” by Husbands taking us out. Thanks again to Continental Tire, Acura and Valvoline for making it all happen.
If a word could define Daniel Suarez, it would be perseverance. Growing up with modest means in Monterrey, Mexico, the idea of being a top-level NASCAR Cup series was as far fetched as it could be, yet Daniel’s talent and tenacity has elevated him to going from a kid who first moved to the US without knowing English, to a NASCAR Xfinity champion, and now with the very competitive upstart Trackhouse Racing in the NASCAR Cup Series. Dinner was served at Eez Sushi in Huntersville, NC with the song “Hacerte el Amor” by Cossy taking us out. Thanks again to Continental Tire, Acura and Valvoline for making it all happen.
Born in New Zealand and growing up in Australia, Scott McLaughlin made his name as the absolute stud of the Australian V8 Supercar series, but in 2021 made the bold move to come to the United States with a rare opportunity to drive in IndyCar with Team Penske. A champion in nearly everything he’s driven, the multi-time SuperCar winner is now the IndyCar rookie-of-the-year, who, thanks to marrying an American, has learned a lot about living stateside. Lunch was served at the North Harbor Club in Davidson, NC, with the song “Crash & Burn” by Vanra taking us out. Thanks again to Continental Tire, Acura, and Valvoline for making it all happen.
Tim Keene is one of the most iconic behind-the-scenes people in the sport of road racing and open-wheel, and his success is only matched by his mouth. Working through a number of crew and manager roles in the sport, Tim has worked with Chip Ganassi Racing, Panoz, Meyer, Shank and now finds his home with the reigning IMSA champions at Action Express Racing. The guy has stories and opinions unmatched by anyone, and we’re happy for the time. Dinner was served by Tim himself in Denver, NC, with the song “Straight to Hell” by Hayes Peebles taking us out. Thanks again to Continental Tire, Acura, and Valvoline for making it all happen.
Jon Ikeda is a great one for us because he’s the boss’s boss’s boss at Acura. His current title is Brand Officer, but he’s more of a designer than a manager, but most importantly, he’s a racer. Yeah, he’s the boss, but we only chose to sit with him because he’s a character and a great storyteller and sheds a lot of light on just how it all works. Dinner was served at Saint & Second in Long Beach, CA, with the song “Future Hit” by Louis II taking us out. Thanks again to Continental Tire, Acura, and Valvoline for making it all happen.
Eric Foss is a classic journeyman driver who has gone from amateur racer to coach to now one of the staples of the touring and production ranks of current sportscar racing. Having won in nearly everything he’s competed in, Eric is a champion of the IMSA Pilot Challenge ranks and one of the most universally respected people in the paddock. Lunch was served at Fred’s Texas Cafe in Fort Worth, Texas, with the song “Father Texas” by Birdtalker taking us out. Thanks again to Continental Tire, Acura, and Valvoline for making it all happen.
Felipe Nasr is one of the modern greats of road racing, and his legend is only growing. A native of Brazil, Felipe found huge success in European junior racing, including winning the British F3 championship before moving on to Formula One. He scored a top-five on his debut. He’s since gone on to become one of the greats in IMSA prototype ranks, winning his second championship this year on top of wins at the 12 Hours of Sebring and beyond. Dinner was served at The Cellar in Corning, NY, with the song “I’ll be Fine” by Hayes Peebles taking us out. Thanks again to Continental Tire, Acura, and Valvoline for making it all happen.
Michael Printup is the current President of Watkins Glen International, but his history as one of the sport’s most dynamic track developers is long heralded. A staple of NASCAR and the former ISC family, Michael has developed race tracks ranging from California to Michigan, including one of the craziest stories on a development project in Staten Island, NY. Dinner was served at the Blue Pointe Grill at the Harbor Hotel in Watkins Glen, NY, with the song “Trust Be a Cop” by Husbands taking us out. Thanks again to Continental Tire, Acura, and Valvoline for making it all happen.
Butch Leitzinger is a legend of the sportscar scene, having driven for some of the most historic programs in the 1990s and 2000s, including the Nissan GTU, the Bentley LMP, and most notably, Dyson Racing’s famed series of programs. Affable and very easy to get along with, Butch’s success at events like Le Mans, Daytona, Sebring, and beyond have made him a respected veteran of the sport and a heck of a storyteller. Lunch was served at Mad Mex in College Station, PA, with the song “Tommy Schnebbit” by his old friends Jonesing for Soma taking us out. Thanks again to Continental Tire, Acura, and Valvoline for making it all happen.
Tommy Milner is a second-generation racer who has become a staple of American sportscar racing, most notably as part of Corvette Racing’s program. The son of Tom Milner, who has come up several times in our podcast, Tommy broke out of his family shadow by racing for some of the most prestigious brands in the sport, including BMW, Panoz, and eventually Corvette, where he’s gone on to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans and just about everything there is to win in IMSA. Tommy and his wife Lauren joined us for dinner at The Seneca Lodge in Watkins Glen, NY, with the song “Where I Wanna Be” by Dazy Chain taking us out. Thanks again to Continental Tire, Acura, and Valvoline for making it all happen.
