  • Die hard Kevin Lee fan. Dump the AI intros/ outros.

    EDIT: I unsubscribed the moment I heard ChatGPT being used for slop race picks followed by Kevin pontificating “why would anyone be against me using this. Someone created this business [openai]” Kevin the fact you work hard to produce media and are fine with LLMs stealing your content is so ignorant. You lost me as a fan and listener for good today. Maybe Kevin should hang out with Townsend Bell and consume Fox News less? BARF.

  • Even better!

    I actually discovered this before TRACKSIDE and now I love both. This has even more behind the scenes insight and information. Kevin is a star and his love for this sport coincides with mine. I’m in and I hope he keeps it growing. I also love that he has some of the FOX broadcast crew in to contribute! A must listen every week. Let go!

    Sure, the world can always use another forecast!

    Seriously though, having an adjunct program to explore topics that don’t fit into the regular program ~ or just a deeper-dive into an

    Issue ~ is a good approach.

    I hope that this works out for you guys!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Trackside INDYCAR Extra #28 9-17
Q: Could Santino Ferrucci or other drivers still find seats in 2027, given budget realities?
The host suggests that Ferrucci's budget requirements have increased and that unless a driver can bring several million dollars, securing a full-time IndyCar seat becomes unlikely; there may still be opportunities in certain roles or for partial campaigns depending on sponsorships.
Trackside INDYCAR Extra #16 7/16/26
Q: What are the potential locations for future Nashville events and how might the NFL schedule impact them?
The host discusses the possibility of running at alternative venues (including near NFL stadiums) and balancing race timing with NFL game schedules to maximize viewership and attendance, suggesting late spring or early summer windows.
Trackside INDYCAR Extra #16 7/16/26
Q: Why do the pits close when a yellow is called?
Pits close primarily for safety to control racing conditions, but the host notes that teams may still attempt to pit if it doesn't mandate a full course caution, as long as safety vehicles are managed and the order remains clear.
Trackside INDYCAR Extra #10 6/4/26
Q: Should we expect to see greater turnover of drivers as the current crop can't match Alex Paloe?
The discussion suggests talent diversification and scouting from varied backgrounds, with Paloe still heads the field; teams are exploring external options but acknowledge Paloe's current dominance.
Trackside INDYCAR Extra 5-28 Post Indy 500
Q: Bill Romine asks about what would happen if Thro and David collide before the start and slide across the yard of bricks, who gets credit?
The host explains scoring implications using JR Hildebrand as a reference and discusses how penalties and the line-crossing rules can affect final finishing positions, noting the importance of where the car crosses the line.
