We are officially in a new calendar year and Speed Street is ready to kick things off with a bang. Conor Daly and co-host Chase Holden check in after the holidays to report on the paddock’s latest rumblings. They also weigh in on the recently announced 2025 IndyCar season start times and how no night races for this year might not necessarily be a bad thing, for now.
Longtime open wheeler and IndyCar pace car driver Oriol Servià joins the show to help give listeners a better idea of the progression of IndyCar over the last two decades. Conor asks Oriol to compare and contrast the path he took to IndyCar with the current Road to Indy ladder system in place. They also chat about the 2011 season and some of Oriol’s favorite cars he's driven in his career. Conor and Oriol find common ground in filling the role of substitute driver and competing with many different teams over the years. Oriol explains that without long term contracts in place, a driver constantly feels like he is auditioning for his ride and as a result, grows at a rapid pace due to always having to adapt quickly and perform.
