Show notes

In this latest episode, Parker and Landon bring a thoughtful yet light-hearted approach to the world of motor racing. The duo begins with a humorous anecdote where Landon, tricked by Bubba Wallace, ends up congratulating Ryan Blaney. They also discuss the latest achievement in the Isle of Man TT, where Michael Dunlop has set a new lap record, pushing the boundaries of speed in this iconic event.

The hosts then turn their attention to Formula 1, presenting their views on why the series may be becoming less popular, particularly among American fans, due to its high costs, boring on track product, and perceived exclusivity from Americans. They also explore the IndyCar series and a challenging new course that's proving a test for the drivers. At the same time, they appreciate Garage 56’s impressive performance at the prestigious Le Mans thus far. Wrapping up the show, they delve into NASCAR, touching on the truck series' unpredictability, Parker's daring last restart move, and an insightful analysis of the recent cup racing and stand-in drivers.

Show notes

Landon and Parker ponder whether elbows and wild finishes are becoming the norm on the last lap. They dive into Rajah Caruth giving the big dogs a run for their money, almost beating Byron and Eckes in a career-best finish. Meanwhile, they analyze Parker's weekend and Larson emerging victorious in a wild Xfinity race, after sending JHN into the inside barrier like a bowling pin. The two investigate what happened in the late race restarts that resulted in controversy across every NASCAR fan base as Ross finally ends up on the wrong end of a scuff up.

In other racing news, F1 legend Lewis Hamilton has expressed interest in an "old-school" IndyCar test and even hinted at a possible stint in NASCAR. Speaking of surprises, Max Verstappen impressed with a third-place finish in the iRacing 24 Hour of Nurburgring, bringing back memories of the hosts' own 24-hour adventure at the green hell. The MotoGP crowd witnessed intense racing, brutal crashes, and even a heated fight with a hilarious twist, while the Indy season kicked off with Alex Palou's dominant. Finally, Parker looks forward to North Wilkesboro while Landon divulges a little bit of historical testing data, revealing that the fabled track might be closer to Dirt Bristol than anything else on our calendar!
