Reviews

4.8 out of 5 stars from 490 ratings
  • A weekly must-listen

    As a long-time IndyCar and open-wheel race fan, this weekly program is a “must-listen” each week.

    Kevin and Curt provide a lot of insight and information in a clear and measured manner each week. All without the gossip and speculation that is prevalent on so many other sports-radio shows.

    As I live in New Hampshire ~ a long way from the center of the Indycar universe ~ this show and podcast (how I listen to it) is an excellent edition to my weekly media consumption.

    Great job!
