F-R Racing's Garage Talk

Release Date: 08-23-2024 05:00

As we are coming up on the three-year anniversary of the first time D.J. and Erik live-streamed racing on Wednesday Night, we go back and discuss the history of Wednesday Night Dash and how a goofy one-on-one race turned into a 22-car broadcasted league in its 10th season with hundreds of people tuning in to watch each week. Wednesday Night Dash also was responsible for our second league, the Indy Racing World Series. We talk about how Wednesday Night Dash and the iRacing agreement with IndyCar ending created that series.As we move on to real racing news, we talk about our friend Andy Amendola's new book with 2x Indy 500 winner, Josef Newgarden being released and how Josef signed the first 500 copies of the book. Next, we discuss the controversy at Gateway with Will Power's involvement in David Malukas' crash, and then Power crashing out on the following restart. That led to Power being unhappy with Newgarden. We also discuss the growing voice of both fans and teams being upset with Roger Penske owning the series and owning the top-tier team. We don't believe anything shady is going on, but it does look bad for optics.Finally, we close out discussing a rain-soaked Michigan Cup race, Corey LaJoie's flip, and more.
