Jackson Lambros – Outlap Media Talks Team Penske Scandal, Indy 500 Preview | Garage Talk
On this week’s episode of Garage Talk, we’re joined by the very talented Jackson Lambros, co-founder of Outlap Media and reporter for Dive Bomb about the latest Team Penske scandal at the Indianapolis 500, the fall out, D.J. apologizes to Robert Shwartzman, and more!
At the start of the show, we introduce you to Jackson Lambros, co-founder of Outlap Media, a reporter for Dive Bomb, and the next voice of Wednesday Night Dash! As mentioned previously, Trevor Kratzer will be stepping down after the truck series to head to college and we’re excited to have Jackson step in as the next voice! You may recognize his voice from the Bristol Season 12 Wednesday Night Dash race, and the first two season 5 Indy Racing World Series races.
D.J. and Erik missed badly by predicting Robert Shwartzman would be the one bumped from the Indy 500 field, but instead he is the first rookie to sit on the pole since 1983! We apologize to him and Prema for our bad prediction. Next, Jackson fills you in on the Team Penske scandal involving the illegal modification to the attenuator from what is the attenuator used for, why you can’t and shouldn’t perform any modifications to it (safety issue), and break down the fallout for top Penske management getting let go over for now their second scandal in two years.
In the second half of the show we preview the upcoming weekend of racing including F1 at Monaco, the Indy 500, and NASCAR at the Coca-Cola 600. Finally, we talk about the highlights from the All Star Race at North Wilkesboro, McLaren’s strategy call in Italy, and our caution filled iRacing event at Bristol.

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.
