Show Notes
It was a weekend to forget in Portland for Conor Daly, but not by his own doing. He joins co-host Chase Holden on Speed Street this week to unpack what could have been a promising weekend but ultimately ended up being disappointing in many regards. Conor explains that after racing with Juncos Hollinger at Portland last year, the team had plenty of data to build upon, and they unloaded with a good amount of speed. An unfortunate tire mishap in qualifying buried them in the pack, but Conor was still optimistic that he could make his way forward during the race. Conor gives listeners an in depth breakdown of his on-track altercation with Christian Rasmussen and explains why he feels there are inconsistencies in how avoidable contact penalties are being issued.
The race winner of the weekend Will Power joins the show to chat about how he was able to go back to back at Portland and pick up Penske’s first win of the season. Will reflects on being in his contract year and not feeling sure of what the future holds with Penske. He explains that he feels he’s at the peak of his driving career and hopes to continue on in a competitive seat. Conor and Will chat about the increasing aggression in IndyCar driving etiquette and how competitive the field is this season. Will describes the 2025 season as being bizarre, but the future looks bright for the IndyCar series thanks to Fox and increasing parity across the field.
