They mention the Rahalls’ dogs being stolen and safely returned, AJ Foyt finalizing drivers with Dennis Hauger and Pearson, Sting Ray Rob racing in the Asian Le Mans Series, multiple tests at Sebring and Barber (including Conor Daly), and staffing moves from Chip Ganassi Racing to Arrow McLaren, plus Julian Roberts’ retirement. They discuss the newly released 2027 schedule highlights such as three March races, a Milwaukee doubleheader, Barber in early April, and a new Barcelona race, alongside Nashville and the Freedom 250 not returning. The episode closes with IndyCar-themed Halloween costume ideas and pumpkin carving.
