Rides & Drives Team Radio

IndyCar has a long history with the 24-hours of Daytona, or as it's now known, the Rolex 24. From A.J. Foyt and Mario Andretti, to Dixon, Tony Kanaan, Helio Castroneves, and Scott Dixon, Indy regulars have been coming to Florida and winning America's premier sports car race since the 1960s. With 13 IndyCar drivers in this year's field, how will they do? Will Alex Palou begin another ma...

Merry Christmas all. In the spirit of the season, we're sending our holiday wishlist to Indy Claus. What do you wish for in the upcoming IndyCar season? We've got quite a few!

It's the holiday's. It's time to count our blessings think about ways to help others. Most IndyCar drivers and teams are aligned with charities so one way to support your favorite drive and team is to support a cause that's important to them. With a little research it's easy to find out who they're working with. Andretti Global started CheckIt4Andretti after John Andretti p...

We love movies and we love racing. So how do we feel about racing movies? In this episode, we review three racing movies: the 1971 classic, Le Mans; Ron Howard's F1 biopic, Rush; and probably the worst racing movie ever made, Driven. In the immortal words of Meatloaf, two out of three ain't bad.

We discuss the recent updates that were tested on the Dallara DW12 chassis as well as the pros and cons of a single chassis series. Harvey longs for the days when multiple manufacturers were involved adding another layer of interest to the competition, while Carolyn argues that the single chassis makes for more competitive and interesting races. What's your take on this feature of IndyCar? Let...

It's that time of year, when the action off the track is as interesting as the racing. We look at which drivers have found new seats, who are still looking for rides, and the latest from the rumor mill. As an added bonus, you get a impromptu review of the Brad Pitt movie, F1.

We kick of a new series with a profile of IndyCar legend Bobby Rahal. Spend a few minutes with us to learn more about his amazing career as a driver and team owner through all the changes across his 40 year career.

From Mid-Ohio to Nashville and all the races in between, we saw some great action on the track and have a few take aways from a very competitive second half of the IndyCar season. What was your favorite race of the season? And based on the last 8 races, what do you expect to happen in 2026?

IndyCar released the 2026 Schedule today and we're already excited for the start of the season. We have two new venues, one classic track returning, and our least favorite track on the calendar last year goes away. We have 5 street circuits, 6 ovals, and 6 road courses and end the season on one of America's most iconic venues. Give this episode a listen to see why we're all in on IndyC...

The 2025 NTT IndyCar season was a tale of two halves. We take a look at the first nine races, from St. Pete to Road America and highlight some of the themes that began to emerge. And no, Alex Palou winning almost everything was not the only theme we discuss. This is a long one, so grab a beverage, settle into your favorite comfy chair, and enjoy the show.

Well, that didn't take long. Released from Penske on Tuesday, Will Power fills the vacancy at Andretti created by Colton Herta's move to Cadillac F1. We were planning on a Power/Penske retrospective but this news changes everything. We'll tell you what we think and how this will shake up the 2026 NTT IndyCar season.

What is Team Radio and who is Rides & Drives, we answer those questions and more in this for minute introduction of our podcast for IndyCar fans.

We were hoping for a cracker to close out the 2025 IndyCar season and we got one. The Music City Grand Prix in Nashville was a race for the ages. It had everything. 284 passes for position, 20 lead changes, an epic battle for third, and a great redemption story as Josef Newgarden raced to the front to win his first race of the season. It was so good, it took us 46 minutes to wrap it all up in a bo...

Some big surprises among the top slot of the grid for tomorrow's Music City Grand Prix thanks to a big showing by teams running Chevy engines. Is it a fluke or will the continue to run up front in the race tomorrow. We talk about that, who has the most to win in this final race, and we make our final predictions for podium, biggest mover, biggest loser, bad bad boy, and wildcard picks. Can you bea...

We're sad to see the season drawing to a close, but will savor every minute of the final weekend in Nashville. What did we learn this week leading up to the race? That Alex Palou won't be going to Red Bull. That the term superspeedway can apply to a wide variety of tracks, and that Chip Ganassi is the kind of boss we'd like to work for. All that and more as we get ready for the Borchetta Bourbon M...

It was a great race in Milwaukee with lots of passing, excellent wheel to wheel action, and a little weather just a few laps from the end that created the beautiful chaos that David Malukas predicted. We break it all down and tell you how we did with our pre-race predictions.
