We break down the chaotic finish at Kansas in the Indy Racing World Series, including a costly last-lap mistake that changed everything. Plus, a deep dive into the Bottom Split Racing Series battle at Lime Rock Park, where a drag race to the line delivered one of the best finishes of the season.
We also talk NASCAR headlines, Bristol preview, Long Beach strategy concerns, and the reality of pay drivers in motorsports.
On top of that, we get into content strategy, growing iRacing leagues, and how short-form video is driving real audience growth.
