The guys (minus Levi) go over another action packed week of racing on this episode of the Lap Zero Podcast. NASCAR had their first ever street-course race in the heart of Chicago this weekend and, honestly, we all thought it wasn't half bad! Antonio gives us the rundown. There was a lot to process in the world or racing, both good and bad. Unfortunately, we lost an F1 hopeful, Dilano van 't Hoff, at Spa this weekend which raises some questions about the viability of Spa going forward or what they could do to improve it. Also, we dive into the track limits confusion at the Red-Bull Ring and give our "In it, Bin it, and Win it" picks for Silverstone. Norman takes us into Indy Car at Mid-Ohio which opens some discussion about crash safety and other fun stuff. Check out Simon's crash here >>>>>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-al-6AITT0

In this Dave-less episode of the Lap Zero Podcast, Antonio, Norman, and Levi take a dive into all kinds of racing. Nashville was a good show and Ross Chastain proved that he could run with Denny Hamlin without bombs going off. Norman takes us into the 6 Hours of Watkins Glen and we talk some endurance racing. Red Bull Ring with a sprint race this week for Formula 1 should be good fun! We give our "In it, Bin it, Win it" picks for the weekend. All of this and more on another edition of the Lap Zero Podcast.

Our buddy "Caboose" joins us this week on the Lap Zero Podcast. We had a very eventful weekend of racing. NASCAR showed us that the shortest race of the year can be the longest. Indy Car at the new Detroit street circuit was insane to say the least, but are all these street tracks bringing good racing to the table? Formula 1 put on a good show in Barcelona and showed us Mercedes may be a force to be reckoned with for the rest of the year. Le Mans is this weekend! Norman and "Caboose" help pump us up. We dive into this and much more on another edition of the Lap Zero Podcast.

The guys sit down and chat about the biggest weekend in motorsport on this edition of the Lap Zero Podcast. Memorial Day weekend proved to be a memorable one kicking off with the Monaco Grand Prix. Formula 1 at Monaco is never crazy exciting but at least we got some rain to spice things up. The Indy 500 was great (except for Jules National Anthem lol) and reminded us all that being a race fan comes with some risks. The Coke 600 was delayed due to weather to Monday but still provided some interesting racing. Antonio takes us through the race and tells us more about some of the penalties that came from this weekend. Also, we get ready for the Barcelona Grand Prix with some "In it, Win it, and Bin it" so stick around for another feature filled episode of the Lap Zero Podcast.

The biggest weekend in racing is here folks. The guys sit down and prepare for the huge weekend ahead on this edition of the Lap Zero Podcast. The NASCAR All-Star Race was an awesome event but left much to be desired with the short-track package. The Coke 600 sold out for the second year in a row, but TV numbers are down. What can NASCAR do to keep TV viewers interested? The 107th running of the Indy 500 is this weekend and we couldn't be more excited! We cover some history, race facts, driver news, and other topics. Last but not least, the Monaco Grand Prix also runs this weekend after Imola was cancelled due to rain and flooding. We should be seeing some upgrades and maybe some wet weather so hold onto your hats and maybe grab an umbrella for one heck of a race weekend here with the Lap Zero Podcast.
