IndyCar Preview, NASCAR Inconsistencies – Garage Talk
We’re back with another episode of Garage Talk! On this week’s episode, we kick it off discussing NASCAR continuing to be inconsistent with those last lap yellows, Carson Hocevar having a line of drivers wanting to talk to him post-race, and the upcoming IndyCar Season.
First off, we have to lead right into the show talking about the upcoming IndyCar season, FOX announcing the pit reporters for the broadcasts, and previewing the upcoming season. There just appears to be more hype and excitement leading into this season despite not many changes to the series itself.
Next, we move on NASCAR throwing a caution on the last lap with an accident behind and ruining another finish. They claim it was in the name of safety, but then again it’s the opposite of what they did at Daytona. Carson Hocevar’s aggressive driving continues to bring complaints from other drivers including two drivers who have been pretty aggressive early in their careers as well.
Finally, we sneak a little F1 talk in since their season will begin soon and D.J. questions Erik for why he scheduled the IRWS IndyCar race at Belle Isle for 45 laps. As always, thank you for listening and please hit that subscribe button!

Recent Race Results
Race: iRacing Daytona 24
Results: Erik Richardson, Hunter Hughes, Ian Miller, and Tyler Vickery ran in the GTP/Hypercar class for the first time in the Ferrari 499P. The real stars of the show was the rain and the new dynamic track debris system that created chaos all over the track. Numerous accidents led to a P9 in class (of 21) and P33 overall (of 58). We look to bounce back stronger at Sebring in March.
