Who would have thought that Erik’s home track of Indianapolis Motor Speedway would be one of his consistent worst performing tracks too? Erik digs out the Jeppson’s Malört to close out the 2024 iRacing Indy Racing World Series league season as we do an iRacing IndyCar review on this week’s episode of F-R Racing’s Garage Talk.
Erik’s Malört Journey, iRacing IRWS Season Recap, NASCAR Playoffs Shakeup
In this week’s episode, Erik brings out the bottle of Jeppson’s Malört as he deals with that notorious aftertaste after a bad performance during the iRacing Indy Racing World Series season finale from Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Next up, we get right into the recap of NASCAR’s visit to the newly redesigned Charlotte Roval. We discussed the design changes, whether the racing was any good, Parker Kligerman’s almost win, and the brutal way he missed out on his first career Xfinity Series win over a NASCAR scoring controversy that didn’t need to happen had they thrown the caution at the appropriate time (earlier). The big news is Alex Bowman was disqualified post-race for his car being underweight. Joey Logano who missed out on the group of eight will take his place.
Finally, we recap the iRacing Indy Racing World Series competition now that the season is over. What went well (not much) and what will we work on for next season when we return from break in January 2025.
