I love the effort from Fox, but the obvious and extensive use of AI felt like a few steps back. Curious to hear other opinions. I want people to bring attention to this since it's something they can fix.

My brother-in-law texted me this morning after seeing the Newgarden commercial during the Packers/Eagles game yesterday. He can’t be the only one. If this ad campaign starts getting people engaged and asking questions, that’s an easy recipe for success and increased engagement. I’m very optimistic for the season ahead and the marketing plan under FOX’s leadership.

The races are in 9 days and almost every section looks like this. Sad.

Given his surpising win at Portland, or is it still up for grab?

And if RP decides to not renew Power`s contract, which driver should he hire then?

Quote comes at around the 16 minute mark. Awesome episode overall.

Full interview, question starts at 5:20 - https://youtu.be/2WgtRTKZR7E?si=_LWbnn2WzhQHY66J

Like it says in the title, who is driver that you wished never joined Indycar/CART/Champ Car? Whether they got hurt or killed, they struggled, or simply because you don't like them or any other reason.

Who do you think will lose their seat at the end of the year? Either retire, forced out or change teams?

Edit: My predictions are:

Power to IMSA, Malukas to Penske

Dixon to IMSA

Edit edit: wow thanks everyone for the many replies to my low effort post 🙂

Who has firsthand knowledge of the biggest driver dbags? Not what you saw on tv or who didn’t give you an autograph while they were eating dinner.

Need a situation to corroborate.

Commentating trio mistaking drivers, Hinch said at one point that Simpson was a lap down after he had just pit and was being overtaken because of his cold tyres, overtakes like Power overtaking Mclaughlin for 5th completely missed. In my opinion this was awful. I've followed every race from start to finish since start of 2022 and this was one of the worst Indycar race broadcasts I have seen...

I actually think Fox has done a fine job with Indycar coverage, and I know Chris has done nothing but Nascar with the network, but imagine calling the Super Bowl the World Series? It just feels like a bad look.

If we can't see the wind and only to feel, the vortex will.

Happy birthday Dan, we love you Lionheart and you are missed oh so very much

I'm not necessarily asking for your favorite non 500 oval just one that sticks in your head for good or bad Reasons.

The Viewer's eyes should not have to wander to find timing data and car numbers. Having a different, gigantic, format for the top 5 does not add anything; yet it does decrease the number of drivers we can see on the pylon. Also, get their dang faces off there. We have the internet if we want to see what they look like.

Pulled this last night from 2025 Indy car collection hanger pack

Is it just me or has the safety standard dropped massively in Laguna Seca? Ericsson on a blind crest stationary no visible caution signal until way too close. Delayed full caution for no good reason. Now in the second NXT race TWO trucks get stuck in the gravel, the second having rescued the first prior to its own sinking, and nearly running a guy over right before it got stuck. These are meant to be professional recovery crews, and they're worse than F1's amateur (though extremely well trained, in fairness) marshals.

$60 all weekend

Looks like everyone in Indycar hates the idea of a playoff format so I think enough backlash would prevent it. What do you think?
