About this episode

Conor Daly recaps his qualifying experience for the Indy 500 and discusses racing strategies.

The field of 33 is set, and our resident open wheeler Conor Daly is starting in the middle of row three. After a heroic run in the first round of qualifying, Conor rocketed himself into the Fast 12. Changing track temperatures throughout the day proved challenging for the drivers, and Conor would ultimate qualify eighth, failing to advance to the Fast 6. Conor unpacks the practice sessions of the week and what it was like qualifying on the edge. He and Producer Bobby also discuss tow/non-tow speeds and what techniques teams use to transition from qualifying setups to race trim before making some Indianapolis 500 podium picks.
