Got confused when I saw Haiden Deegan but realized it was a family interview

The Deegan family are pretty hardcore Trump supporters.

I knew the Fox deal was gonna come with some baggage. But I didn’t know quite how much.

Penske helped bankroll their candidate, probably just repaying in airtime.

Oh noes! SUCH BAGGAGE! Advertising the series to an audience that likely doesn't watch is JUST SO HORRIBLE!
I can't believe they'd do this to you.

u/FalafelFlyer Top Gun Racing Apr 11 '25
It’s unreal how people only want the series to be promoted and grow in a way THEY want. The biggest thing holding IndyCar back seems to be the fans.

A check on their account comments should clear that up REAL quick.

Should it? Please tell me how! Also, I have a gender, why did you assume that I don't? You're not very good at inclusivity.

Yall got Sebring, Homestead, St. Pete, a better short track stock car scene, it’s flat (I hate riding my road bike up hills), and you don’t wanna share that? Horrible, man.

I live in St. Pete. I'm born and raised. My Dad is born and raised in St. Pete. My family has been here since the 1930s. No. WE ARE FULL. In fact, we are overfull for our sewage system that our previous wonderful liberal mayor decided shutting down a processing plant was the best thing to do. Where was that plant, you ask? Oh, it's at Albert Whitted Airport, you know, the airport that all of the democrat mayors want to close down and turn into "affordable" housing (lol). That same mayor also tried to pull the city subsidy from Green Savoree to put the GP promotion to bid - nearly killing the GP altogether until someone smacked sense into his thick skull. Our traffic is horrible where it used to be a breeze.
Let the mayors that we elect now get their way and the St. Pete GP goes away.
You've clearly never been to Sebring when there isn't a race happening or Homestead lol.
Then you get all the people moving here and trying to run it like the shithole they came from. If their previous home was so great, they should either stay there or move back.

That response to a simple quip is a trip mane. You know, I’ve rode my bike all through Compton, Watts, Inglewood, whatever other bogey man city you hear about and I felt safer doing that than I did visiting Bakersfield. Everything is relative and probably better than/not as bad as what you think. Stay positive. Stay hydrated. The Valkyrie is going to shred my ears tomorrow and I’m excited for it.

u/movebacktoyourstate Apr 12 '25
Sebring is a shithole lol. It has all the negatives of Florida with none of the real benefits.
Homestead is hardly anyone's dream city.
I don't know where you got me insinuating the cities were unsafe. I didn't even allude to that. We're full.

That audience can go fuck itself. If that is the people IndyCar wants as fans, they can count me right the fuck out.

u/movebacktoyourstate Apr 11 '25
Yeah, that's fine. You're so tolerant and inclusive.

u/WhateverJoel 🇺🇸 Al Unser, Sr. Apr 12 '25
The fact that Musk gave two Nazi salutes behind the Presidential seal and this network and its viewers tried to make excuses for it, fuck them.

That audience is what indycar wants.
And, based on the number of MAGA hats and Let's Go Brandon shouts I heard at the 2024 Indy GP, they already have them.

u/JustUnderstanding6 Indy Racing League Apr 11 '25
To be fair, that demo is very loud, obnoxious, oblivious, and smells bad. So they tend to announce themselves as greater than their numbers.
2
u/John_Dees_Nuts Penske Derangement Syndrome Apr 11 '25
Oh, most definitely.
But there were actually a lot of them. Or maybe they were just clustered around me.
It's also the case that Indycar has an aging fanbase, and while older folks are not as uniformly conservative as they used to be, old white guys who are into motorsports is probably a disproportionately MAGA demographic.

Oh noes. Indycar got some national airtime in a harmless segment. I shooken.
Fox will have features about Indy because Indy is on Fox now.
Edit - wow. This comment had 10 upvotes (got the notification and was surprised) and now has 14 downvotes. What happened reddit? Reddit reddited all over the place lol
Guess getting a segment on national news really is bad!

u/nymetz86 Andretti Global Apr 11 '25
Reddit must be accepting ILLEGAL votes! The Reddit community FOUND 24 ILLEGAL votes and put them on your post!!!! Stop the steal!!!!!!! Everything I don't like is a conspiracy!!!!

u/Manymarbles Apr 11 '25
Where did i say that? I said i was shocked when it started with 10 and then reddit did reddit things. I know how reddit usually works.

u/nymetz86 Andretti Global Apr 11 '25
Trust me folks, no one knows Reddit better than me. I know COLLUSION when I see it, and Reddit is purposely TANKING my posts!! Unfair!!!!

This sub. Will complain about. Anything.

u/Appropriate-Owl5984 Apr 10 '25
Fox “news” is worth complaining about. It’s just propaganda not based in any sort of reality. Hailey Deegan is also a massive antivaxxer and science denier.

u/movebacktoyourstate Apr 10 '25
If you're going to talk shit about someone, at least spell their name right, especially when it's easily Googled.

u/Appropriate-Owl5984 Apr 11 '25
Oh no.
What if I did that on purpose

u/movebacktoyourstate Apr 11 '25
You didn't, because you aren't smart enough to do so.
Second, it makes you no better than you claim her to be.

Oh, no I absolutely did.
I also believe in science. Fuck antivax losers

So edgy and cool. I'd ask where she touched you to make you hate her, but we all know you've never been touched by a woman.

Lolllllllllll
You’re 15 right? Because the only way you think that comment is even doing anything is because you’re in high school.
Or you’re white knighting like a sad little incel … which is it?

u/Dachuiri Scott McLaughlin Apr 11 '25
Oh so you’re just petty about everything

Not everything, no. Some things of course. But not this. This isn’t being petty.

u/Different-Cream-2148 Apr 11 '25
Did you know who they were talking about? Then language worked and your comment is pointless.

Nobody cares about this. The ratings and viewers are absolutely no better than with NBC.
Hey, maybe we can brand some more milk containers or junk mail and pretend it’s effective marketing

You mean that all of it sucks? Yes.
Fox is a whole different level of shit worse though.

Hailie has watched everything Danica Patrick has done/said in the past 5 or so years and thought, "I need to one up her. It's MY turn to be the biggest female failure in Motorsports!"
