Speed Street

It’s finally race week, and Conor Daly is ready to be back on the IndyCar grid at St. Petersburg this coming Sunday. He joins co-host Chase Holden to give listeners a preview of what to expect at the famed street course for the 2025 IndyCar season opener. The guys also chat about the recent announcement that the popular “100 Days to Indy” docu-series will return, concentrating on both the build-up to the Indy 500 and the subsequent championship points battle. Finally, Conor and Chase offer a pre-season power ranking of the 2025 IndyCar paddock.

The newly appointed President of IndyCar Series J. Douglas Boles joins the show to discuss how he will split his time between his new position and his current presidency over Indianapolis Motor Speedway. He gives listeners an idea of what his role will entail with the series and what some of his goals will be moving forward. He touches on the development of the new IndyCar chassis, connecting with the current OEMs and working with promoters to help build up the series’ events throughout the year. Finally, Doug offers listeners some insight into what they should expect from the IMS Museum reopening in April and how it will reshape the way visitors perceive the speedway for years to come.
