Oh my word, Max Verstappen DNF can happen! On this week’s F-R Racing’s Garage Talk, we talk about D.J. jinxing Max, the Thermal Club event, and NASCAR’s visit to COTA.
D.J. jinxed Max – Verstappen DNF, IndyCar at Thermal Club, NASCAR at COTA Recap
Did D.J. jinx Max Verstappen at the Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix? You decide and we discuss his first DNF since 2022. Also, check out our LIVE Raceway live stream from the event last week and judge for yourself! We recap the race, Carlos Sainz’s dominating win, the odd penalty given to Fernando Alonso after George Russell wrecked and more!
Next, we move on and discuss the Thermal Club $1 million dollar challenge (even though the winner got $500k and the top 3 purse was over $1 mil?). Was this event interesting? Should it happen again?
Finally, we move on to NASCAR’s trip to Circuit of the Americas. We had an exciting weekend of racing with Marco Andretti’s rear axle breaking off of his truck while driving, SVG getting into the back of Austin Hill on the last lap of the Xfinity race, and Kyle Busch upset at Christopher Bell in the Cup race.
