It may be the first weekend after the IndyCar season finale, but the news cycle is in full swing. Conor Daly and co-host Chase Holden report in to Speed Street with all of the latest breaking IndyCar headlines, including the monumental charter agreement and the effect it will have on bigger teams in the paddock like Chip Ganassi Racing. Marcus Armstrong and Callum Ilott announce their homes for 2025 and Logan Sargeant looks to make the jump from Formula One with a test for Meyer Shank Racing at Thermal Club. The development that shocked the IndyCar world last week was that Rinus VeeKay has been let go by Ed Carpenter Racing. Also, the guys weigh in on the FBI raid of Rahal Letterman Lanigan.

2024 IndyCar Champion Alex Palou stops by the show to talk about how he clinched his third title in four years during the Nashville finale weekend. After a rough qualifying effort and a grid penalty, Alex knew he had the odds stacked against him to stay ahead of Will Power in the final points standings. Alex explains that he was relieved when he heard about Will’s seat belt failure and unplanned pit stop, but was disappointed that they did not get to race each other properly for the title. Alex and Conor relate over how the race at Nashville played out and what made it fun, but different from other oval races this season. Finally, Alex talks about his goal to win an oval race next season and what it will take to stay ahead of the competition.
