Speed Street

We've had a couple of weeks off but it's finally race weekend again, and it's a crown jewel at that. The Long Beach Grand Prix is on tap, the final event before the month of May. Conor Daly and co-host Producer Bobby take a look at the historic street race, make some podium picks and ponder the crown jewel status it holds on the IndyCar schedule. Also, the race to a 33-car grid for this year's Indianapolis 500 has been in the news, and the guys update listeners on the latest developments and speculation.

For the first time in a couple of seasons, we're seeing Alex Palou be challenged for the IndyCar points championship. Beneath the surface of Palou's dominant 2025 campaign, a new crop of racers began to show glimpses of the year-long consistency needed to take down the monolithic Chip Ganassi Racing 10-team. One of those drivers, Christian Lundgaard, joins Speed Street this week to discuss his strong start to 2026, which currently finds him third in the standings. He and Conor Daly break down Arrow McLaren's strengths and areas for improvement, as well as look ahead to Long Beach and the Month of May.

You know the competition in IndyCar is tough when a race win comes down to a bad pitstop.

Conor Daly and Producer Bobby are back on Speed Street to break down the action of the race, and they're joined by podium finisher Graham Rahal to hear about his day and outlook on the 2026 season so far.

The IndyCar Series traveled into new territory this week as it embarked on the inaugural Arlington Grand Prix in Texas. Our resident open wheeler Conor Daly was on the scene, and he reports back to Speed Street with what he witnessed during his time in the Lone Star State. He and Producer Bobby discuss how the event made a great first impression and continued IndyCar's strong start to 2026. They also break down the action that saw Kyle Kirkwood continue his reign of supremacy on the street courses, beating out Alex Palou and taking over the point standings lead.

Kyle joins the show to talk about the excellent start Andretti Global has gotten this season and how Will Power joining the team has been an asset to their overall program. He also discusses taking the step to becoming a championship contender and what tracks he needs to improve at in order to be at the top of the podium at the end of the year.
