About this episode
The episode features interviews with this year's champions in IndyCar and Indy NXT, discussing their titles and future prospects.
It’s the champions edition of The Race IndyCar Podcast, as we speak to this year’s overall and rookie title winners, plus the victor in the Indy NXT support series. Alex Palou returns to discuss Will Power leaving Team Penske (the interview was done before Power’s Andretti switch was confirmed), his most likely future contenders, how he intends to repeat his near-perfect season and what his focuses are to improve on next year. Louis Foster - IndyCar’s rookie of the year - joins to discuss the breathtaking drama which helped him to his title in the dying minutes at Nashville, his incredible qualifying performances and why there’s positivity over the future at Rahal Letterman Lanigan. And finally, Dennis Hauger of Andretti appears to discuss his monstrous title-winning Indy NXT season, and what’s next for him in the future. Hosted on Acast.
