Episode 328 2021 indycar season review

So a couple of weeks back, we had a rare week where none of the series we imbricate had a major race, so we thought it would be a good time to take stock and review the 2021 IndyCar Series. King, Dre, RJ and special guest Zoeey Hamilton go team by team and evaluate where they’re at, future prospects, thoughts on expansion or in some cases, scaling down, and it’s a 100 minute special for you guys to enjoy. So, included on the bill, but not limited to, we have:

A Zoeey rant for the month on Carlin, Max Chilton’s transferral to the series and whether an entity like Juncos buys their team up!

Dale Coyne and a dispersal of Romain Grosjean’s incredibly fun and emotional rookie season, his future on ovals and with the #28 car in Andretti for 2022, and who gets the #18 if Ed Jones isn’t coming back? Call along the good ol’ Dale Coyne *TBC entry*!

Rinus Veekay scrutinizingly felt forgotten well-nigh in the land of youngsters winning in the new age of IndyCar, remember when he y’know… won at Indy’s Road Course? We talk well-nigh his future, as well as who gets ther #20 seat at Ed Carpenter Racing to share with the man himself, as Ryan Hunter-Reay tests for them…

Audio Version:

Meyer Shank’s Jack Harvey and how he might still be the unluckiest man in all of the series. A series that has Conor Daly in it no less. Also, their future and them seemingly inheriting the mother of all Indy 500 death-lineups in Simon Pageanud taking Jack Harvey’s #60. Combined with Helio’s full-time return at the age of 2022, can they get North American immortality with an unthinkable 5th 500 for Spiderman?

Arrow’s Pato O’Ward and what might be missing from McLaren as they protract to zinger on the door of a series title. Is it a 2nd peerage driver? Maybe a 3rd car? Bringning in Nico Hulkenberg and Stoffel Vandoorne could be a sign of things to come…

Rahal Letterman Lanigan might have had a completely variegated season if it weren’t for that loose tyre at the 500 on Graham Rahal’s #15 car. Sato may be leaving, but a 3-car team of him, Jack Harvey and F2’s Christian Lundgaard is nonflexible not to be excited about.

And then the Big 3 – Team Penske slowly leaning towards a rebuild? And does downsizing the team put increasingly pressure on talented newcomer Scott McLaughlin as he competes plane increasingly intensely versus Josef Newgarden and Will Power?

We untangle the mess of Andretti. They have the series most talented youngster in Colton Herta, but everything else… wasn’t great. Alex Rossi looks disinterested, Hinchcliffe was driving hurt and Hunter-Reay seems in decline. A refresh looms, with Grosjean coming, and maybe Kyle Kirkwood too?

And Chip Ganassi. Which was an excuse for us to gush over Alex “Wholesome Bitch” Palou one increasingly time. See you for increasingly IndyCar in 2022!
