Curt and Kevin talk about the NASCAR Season Finale, Gabby Chavez, Penske trying to buy Long Beach, and more!

Trackside Podcast

Tonight, Kevin and Curt start by talking about the NASCAR Championship finale, and how Joey Logano has won yet another championship. They also rack their brains to find ways to have IndyCar seasons last longer, but not be hindered by football. They also honor Bobby Allison and talk about Gabby Chavez returning for an IndyCar test.

Later, the two talk about Jacob Abel’s likelihood of stepping up to IndyCar after his Indy NXT career. They talk about which driver will take over the final seat at Ganassi for the Indy 500, and if Abel or Jamie Chadwick will make the race.

To round out the first hour, Kevin previews hour 2.

In the second hour of the show, Kevin and Curt talk about the surprise success NASCAR coverage on the CW has had. They talk about Penske’s best season overall, and Curt talks about some of the top seasons, including 1972, 1979, and 1994. They also talk about the likelihood of having an IndyCar playoff (not likely).

Later, Curt and Kevin talk about Michael Cannon leaving AJ Foyt Racing, and also talk about engineering changes at different teams across the series, and where Sting Ray Robb will go.

To end the show, they talk about Penske’s bid to acquire half the stake in the Long Beach Grand Prix acquired by Jerry Forsythe earlier in the year.
