Speed Street is in a state of celebration this week as Conor Daly brought home a podium finish at the Milwaukee Mile during race one of the IndyCar double header. He joins co-host Chase Holden to chat about how after a disastrous start to the weekend, including an engine change and a grid penalty, he and the Juncos Hollinger 78 team were able to turn things around come race time. Using some heroics on the outside lane at the start of the race, Conor was able to advance 11 spots in the opening laps putting himself into contention. After a lucky yellow, he was able to pit with the leaders and make his final three passes to nestle into third place. From there he, Will Power and eventual race winner Pato O’Ward would break away from the rest of the pack.
Pato joins the show to discuss the environment in Milwaukee over the weekend and how the racing action surprised him after an underwhelming test earlier in the year. He explains that the low lane worked best for him and it wasn’t until he got into heavy traffic that he was concerned about Will Power closing in. After negotiating around the slower cars, Pato was able to come home to his third victory of the season. However, both he and Conor’s weekend celebrations would be cut short by mechanical issues in race two on Sunday.
Meanwhile while Pato and Conor were frustrated with being taken out of contention, Scott McLaughlin and the Thirsty Threes bounced back in a masterful way, parking the Team Penske 3 in victory lane and moving into third in the IndyCar season points battle. Scott credits watching film of Conor’s passing in race one that helped him rethink his approach for the second event at the Milwaukee Mile. After spirited battles with Colton Herta and holding off a fierce late race charge from Scott Dixon, Scotty Mac rolls into Nashville with a hot hand, eager to end the season on a high note.
