Episode #539: IndyCar 2024 Milwaukee Mile Review
Sep 06, 07:00 PM
Well, this was a dramatic weekend to say the least. It's a four person edition of the Podcast as Ryan Erik King of Jalopnik joins the show, with input as well from FrontStretch's Chris DeHarde with both men and Cam Buckley in attendance in Milwaukee for the weekend itself!
And there's a lot to get through, with the series CEO Mark Miles getting into a war of words with one of the series biggest promoters, Pato O'Ward. The argument? That Pato isn't as popular as former driver Adrian Fernandez... which is precisely the problem with IndyCar and its lack of popularity as a whole. We'll explain more on the pod.
We also of course, talk about the good racing itself, as Pato said: "Pato, WHO?" with a comeback win to take his third of the year, with the Penske's taking Race 2, but not without complete chaos. Alex Palou with his car stuck in pitroad with a depleted battery and Will Power with a golden chance to take it the finale on equal terms... until he spins on his own.
All that and a whole lot more on a heaped IndyCar edition of Motorsport101!
