https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-5pyb6-1b6120e

IndyCar Season Finale at Laguna Seca, New Driver Signings, IR-28 Oval Test, Honda Leadership Change, and Parkside Cards Partnership Hosts Abby Meyer Proctor and Sarah recap the IndyCar season finale at Laguna Seca, noting Scott McLaughlin’s pole-to-win victory (his first in 36 races) and reviewing key finishers and season outcomes, including Alex Palou’s championship, Kyle Kirkwood second in points, Dennis Hauger as Rookie of the Year, and Scott Dixon’s pit crew winning the Pit Crew Performance Award. They discuss a “weekend of crashes,” including a violent Porsche crash at Laguna Seca practice with the driver hospitalized but alert, a fiery crash in China where another driver helped with the rescue, and Charles Leclerc’s Monza crash while praising 19-year-old Antonelli’s win. They cover Dreyer & Reinbold’s 2027 full-time entry signing Conor Daly and possibly switching to Honda, plus Mick Schumacher signing with Meyer Shank Racing (numbers 60 and 66). They also address IR-28 oval testing with Palou and Rossi, Honda leadership changes (David Salters stepping down; Kelvin Fu named HRC US president), a Parkside Cards partnership with giveaways, and a discussion of 9/11 memories and upcoming IMSA events at IMS.
