David Malukas joins the show, Palou to F1 rumors, NASCAR controversy, and more!

Tonight, on Trackside, there is a lot of silly season news as IndyCar heads into their first race back from the Olympic break at Gateway. Kevin and Curt talk about David Malukas going to AJ Foyt Racing. The two run down some other seats that are open, and what Malukas going to Foyt means for their lineup. Who will Malukas’ teammates be? Who’s bringing the budget? They talk about Malukas being in four teams in less than a year. They talk about the lineup at Dale Coyne for next year, and where Santino Ferrucci will go.

Later, David Malukas joins the show to talk about his new deal with AJ Foyt Racing. He expresses his happiness to finally be solidified with a team, and how he will not let himself get injured again, including making some jokes with Curt and Kevin about going up stairs. He talks about how it will work with the Foyt team in Texas, but David wants to stay in Indy. He also talks about who his engineer may be.

To round out the first hour, Kevin and Curt talk about the interview with Malukas, and some of the things David talked about, and their thoughts on the whole deal. They also talk about the schedule for Gateway.

In the second hour of the show, Kevin and Curt talk about an auction of some racing items that will support victims of the FedEx shooting in Indianapolis. They talk about the Alex Palou F1 rumors, and if they hold any water. Kevin talks about how Palou could take a risk and go for the F1 career, and why Audi might want Palou on the team. They also bring up the nature of Palou’s legal issues.

Later in the second hour, Kevin and Curt talk about the controversial NASCAR finish involving Austin Dillon, and how NASCAR has seemingly allowed a driver to wreck someone else for the win, and how this is the only series that this could happen, and how NASCAR has no rules against what happened. Kevin talks about how people like chaos like that, and it encourages viral moments of the sport.

Kevin ends the show with what we missed.
