It’s been a huge week of news ahead of the biggest races of the year. On the eve of the Indy 500 some of the Team Penske Executive have been shown the door as the fallout continues from its latest saga. Two of its cars failed tech inspections after qualifying and have been sent to the back of the grid. Rusty steps through the past week (what the heck is an attenuator anyway?) and Roger Penske’s bid to restore integrity. You’ll hear a little of The Captain who spoke with Jamie Little for the Indycar on Fox coverage. Then Matt Hickey from Code Sports and the Daily Tele dials in for a preview of Sunday’s Monaco Grand Prix. The bold pass by Max Verstappen on Oscar Piastri last week at Imola, Charles Leclerc’s chances of going back-to-back for Ferrari at this legendary race and how the driver’s gathered to preview the new F1 movie in the lead-up….except Max….he was busy iRacing. And what if we park all the neg on socials for a minute and just thought objectively, we’d see some real positives from James Warburton’s return to the top job in Supercars. Rusty shares his thoughts on Warbo’s 2nd coming and why it makes sense right now.

Rusty’s homework is always late….err sorry that’s an old one. Award winning journo Paul Gover from Race News ( https://www.race.news/ ) joins us for a state of the Motorsport nation…the world really.
