We’ve lost track of how many times we’ve had “Red Bull Drama” in either the title or description of one of our episodes. It never seems to end with that organization. In this week’s F-R Racing Insider we kick Garage Talk off with Yuki Tsunoda’s switch to Red Bull along with Liam Lawson’s “demotion” To Racing Bulls after only two races. A wild week of iRacing and an upcoming season finale of Wednesday Night Dash.

Red Bull Drama, Thermal Club Boredom, NASCAR at Homestead | Garage Talk
On this episode of F-R Racing’s Garage Talk we kick off discussing the big news out of Red Bull that Liam Lawson is being demoted to Racing Bulls and replaced with Yuki Tsunoda after only two races. How bad of a PR move is this for Red Bull?
Next, we discuss D.J.’s least favorite race on the IndyCar calendar, The Thermal Club. From the boring race to the power outage knocking the FOX broadcast offline, the poor ratings, and the Country Club race with limited attendance, why would they keep coming here?
A little bit of off topic discussion comes in from the concept of Paw Patrol, D.J. and Erik’s connection with Clifford The Big Red Dog’s author, and Kangaroo Jack?
Finally, we recap the Homestead NASCAR weekend and how Kyle Larson came so close to pulling off the three race sweep.

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.
