After a minor summer break of our own, Nate and Christian are back and do their best to recap all the action that has happened this past month.

NASCAR was at Sonoma, Dover, and Indy these past three weeks. SVG solidifies his playoff presence with his 3rd win of the season at Sonoma. Nate gives us his on the ground report from Dover where Denny Hamlin took the win there. Last but not least, we touch on the Brickyard 400 where William Darrell "Bubba" Wallace Jr. comes out on top!

IMSA is going to Road America this weekend but we recap their previous race at Mosport which had plenty of action! AO Racing claims their first LMP2 win and DragonSpeed take the win in GTDPro.

Staying in the sportscar world, we also recap WEC's 6h of Interlagos. A race that went green for just about the entire way with only a couple VSCs or code 60s which was great to watch a race play out in its entirety that led to not only Cadillac's first win in Hypercar but their first 1-2 as well! Lexus takes their first LMGT3 win too!

IndyCar had 4 races in the past 3 weeks where two drivers split the wins - Pato and Palou. Impressive drives by Kyffin Simpson, Christian Lungaard, Rinus Veekay, and David Malukas over the course of these past few rounds as well. After all the racing that did happen, it's looking more and more likely that Palou will indefinitely take his 4th IndyCar championship. He could even clinch the title after this next race at Portland.

Formula 1 went to Spa this past weekend where once again we had rain. This time was not as severe as 2021 and we were able to go racing after a delay but the response after the race was one that drivers thought they could've gone racing a bit sooner. In the end, they played it safe and McLaren was able to secure a 1-2 with Piastri ahead of Norris. F1 heads to Hungary this weekend before they take their traditional summer break.

Coming up this weekend: NASCAR at Iowa, IMSA is at Road America, and F1 is at Hungary.

This one is for the older guys - Nico Hulkenburg, Scott Dixon, and Shane Van Gisbergen show the younger guys it can still be done!

Although both McLaren drivers dominated the British GP with Lando taking the win, it was Nico Hulkenberg who made the headlines as he scored his first career F1 podium finish after starting 19th on the grid! It was a wet and wild grand prix that tested the strategists to their limits. The experience and good timing from the Sauber pit wall helped launch Nico far up the grid to grab the team's first podium since Kamui Kobayashi at Suzuka in 2012.

Indycar went to Mid-Ohio where it was the Chip Ganassi show by the end of the race. Alex Palou leading within the final 10 laps and Scott Dixon behind after saving fuel to make a two stop strategy work from starting 9th on the grid. With the laps winding down, Palou makes a rare mistake by going wide and off the track slightly which slowed him up enough that Dixon was able to capitalize and get ahead of Palou for the eventual win! Dixon is the third race winner for this season but this win now makes it 21 consecutive seasons with a win for Scott Dixon!

NASCAR was at the park in the windy city of Chicago. SVG dominated the weekend in not just the Cup series but in Xfinity as well. This is two wins in the season for SVG now which moves him up in the standings for the playoff picture.

Coming up this weekend: NASCAR at Sonoma, IndyCar is at Iowa for a double header, IMSA is at Mosport, and WEC is at Interlagos.

Grasser Racing survived 24 hours to win at Spa overall. Max Verstappen's Verstappen.com Aston Martin won in Gold class notably as well.

McLaren dominate in Austria as they take a 1-2 finish while lapping the field up to 5th place. Impressive performance by them but also equally impressive drives from Liam Lawson and both Sauber drivers.

We wrap up this episode by giving our honest review of the new F1 Movie. The results may surprise you.

Coming up this weekend: NASCAR at Chicago, IndyCar is at Mid-Ohio, and F1 at Silverstone.

Nate has graced us with his return to the podcast! With that so has a more in depth coverage in the NASCAR races. Nate recaps Pocono and how Chase Briscoe got the win.

IndyCar went to Road America last weekend where after a slow start to the race with multiple cautions, one team rose to the top to come out with the best strategy and it was none other than Chip Ganassi Racing with Alex Palou taking his 6th win of the year! Alex's win was greatly helped by Scott Dixon where Scott gave Alex quite the tow around Road America to allow him to save enough fuel to go to the end.

IMSA visited the finger lakes of New York where they raced at Watkins Glen for 6 Hours. A race that had it all between mixed weather conditions, multiple cautions that flipped strategy on its head, a Lamborghini leading the race, and even a last lap pit stop that cost Cadillac the win to the #60 Meyer Shank Racing Acura GTP. The Paul Miller BMW took the win in GTD Pro after being able to fend off the rest of the class that was able to keep everyone honest more or less throughout the race.

Coming up this weekend: NASCAR at Atlanta, F1 in Austria, MotoGP at Assen, and the Spa 24 Hours.

IndyCar had the race of the weekend at Gateway with multiple drivers in for a shot to win but Kyle Kirkwood came out on top to get his third win of the season!

This past weekend didn't have much running but we recapped the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge, Moto GP, and NASCAR. IMSA IMPC had a really enjoyable 4 hour race from Mid Ohio. Plenty of support races as well that are all available on IMSA's Youtube channel if you'd like to go back and watch any of them. Moto GP was at Aragon which put on another show and Denny Hamlin eeked out a victory at Michigan in NASCAR.

It's a full plate of racing this weekend with F1 in Canada, IndyCar at Gateway, and the feature event of the weekend the 24 Hours du Le Mans for WEC. We give our picks and previews for the upcoming races as well as some news and notes surrounding each series.

Coming up this weekend: NASCAR is in Mexico, F1 in Canada, Indycar at Gateway, and WEC at Le Mans.

Maximum chaos happened this week and no it was not from NASCAR...well IMSA has a NASCAR tie now so I guess it still is. Anyways, a return to the streets of the very tight Detroit street circuit for IndyCar and IMSA where cautions certainly bred cautions. One incident took out the untouchable IndyCar and Indy 500 Champion, Alex Palou. The Indy 500 win curse continues at Detroit as another winner fails to go back to back the following race weekend. However, another repeat winner for the season as Kyle Kirkwood had the dominant pace this weekend.

Over in IMSA, a new BOP has been applied and even though the favored manufacturer won it was not easy. Last minute overtaking in the closing moments had to be done which gave an entertaining finish as Acura took the win in GTP. Ford won in GTD Pro.

Formula 1 went to Spain for their final race for now at Barcelona and it was spicy mainly due to the late Safety Car. We discuss the race in two parts and discuss the incident!

aaaaannnnndddd Blaney wins at Nashville for NASCAR.

Coming up this weekend: NASCAR is at Michigan, Supercars is at Perth, some of IMSA is at Mid Ohio, and MotoGP is at Aragon.

Lando wins Monaco after LeClerc and Ferrari give McLaren a good fight in qualifying. A mandatory two pit stop race didn't seem to change much except for the mid field a little bit. Otherwise, your fairly standard Monaco race and outcome. Onto Barcelona!

The Month of May has come to an end (almost) after the greatest spectacle in racing ended with none other than Alex Palou winning the Indy 500! This is not only Alex's first Indy 500 win but his first IndyCar win on any oval. This year is truly Palou's year and everyone is just along for the ride. Palou has won now 5 of 6 races with a 2nd place finish as his worst finish. A truly dominating performance so far this year and winning the Indy 500 is just a chef's kiss/cherry on top to what is coming to be Alex's 4th IndyCar Championship and 3rd in a row.

Chastain won in Charlotte for the Coke 600 and smashed another watermelon as he does after a win.

Coming up this weekend: NASCAR is at Nashville, IndyCar and IMSA head to Detroit, F1 is at Barcelona.

Franz Hermann, aka Max Verstappen, takes the win in Imola with a fantastic move around the outside of Oscar Piastri into T2 on lap 1 of the race! Max closes the gap to both McLaren drivers after Piastri had gone on a 3 race win streak. Although it was very controlled from the front, it was a good race with a few key moments for strategy to go good or bad for some. Two yellows (one VSC and the other a full SC) shook the field up and provided Ferrari an ample opportunity to make up some ground after a poor qualifying effort the day before.

IndyCar had it's qualifying days for the greatest spectacle in motorsports this past weekend where none other than Robert Shwartzman driving for Prema took the pole! This is the first time since 1983 that a rookie is starting on pole for the Indy 500. Congrats to Robert and Prema on a fantastic effort! Drama unfolded on the second day of qualifying where Penske was found to be in violation of the rules. They've subsequently had two of their three cars moved to the rear of the field and at the time of our recording of this episode we had not yet received the news that Penske has fired three top employees within the team to make a statement that this is being taken seriously after not just this incident but also from the Push to Pass incident last year as well. Too many mistakes costing the team valuable points in the championship and also leaving a poor stain on the organization.

Coming up this weekend: NASCAR is at Charlotte, IndyCar has the Indy 500, F1 is at Monaco.

Palou does it again! RLL puts up a great qualifying performance for the Sonsio Grand Prix but Palou and Chip Ganassi put together another masterclass to get the win. That's 4 wins out of the 5 races so far this season and Palou's worst finish on the year is a 2nd place....WOW! Amazing season for him so far. Looking ahead to this upcoming weekend, Indycar has its qualifying session for the Indy 500. One entry will be BUMPED from the field on Sunday. Who will be the 33 competing for this year's Borg-Warner trophy?

IMSA and WEC raced this weekend as well at Laguna Seca and Spa respectively. Porsche and Ferrari may have won their respective races in convincing fashion but it was action packed, in a good way, with plenty of on track battles! Really worth a watch if you haven't seen the races. Some great stuff up and down the field. IMSA's next race is on the streets of Detroit and then after that it's Le Mans for WEC and some IMSA teams that were invited.

Larson dominates in NASCAR at Kansas.

Coming up this weekend: NASCAR is at North Wilkesboro, IndyCar has the Indy 500 Qualifying, F1 is at Imola, and Super Formula is at Autopolis.

Piastri and Palou just keep winning in F1 and IndyCar. Dominant performances from the two of them in their respective races. Verstappen was able to put on a defensive show until the clock struck midnight as he was out of tires and then to make matters worse a Virtual Safety Car is deployed which put him back to 4th. Although Palou ran away at Barber, the rest of the field had an exciting race that was interesting to watch from a strategic point of view. When to pit, how quick could guys get their tires warmed up, who could defend with cold tires the best? It had some great lunges and passes that played into high risk, high reward scenarios.

Logano takes the win in NASCAR at Texas.

Coming up this weekend: NASCAR is at Kansas, IndyCar is racing at Barber, WEC at Spa, IMSA at Laguna Seca, MotoGP at Le Mans, and Supercars at Tasmania.
