Friday May 19, 2023

The guys sit down for a long discussion about everything in the racing world this week on the Lap Zero Podcast. NASCAR at Darlington was a great race, but has Ross Chastain pushed too far? We discuss as we prepare for the All-Star Race this weekend. Norman gives us the breakdown of the Indy and IMSA races at the Indianapolis Road Course and Laguna Seca. We are so happy the month of May is here! Formula 1 was scheduled to race in Italy this weekend, but due to terrible flooding in the area, the Grand Prix at Imola was canceled. We found this out after we sat down for this chat but we all thought you might like to hear our takes and enjoy some F1 talk on this now quiet weekend.  So buckle up for this edition of the Lap Zero Podcast.

David, Norman, and Levi take the helm as Antonio works on his racecar this week on the Lap Zero Podcast. NASCAR at Kansas was... interesting. The look on Joey Logano's face when Ross clocked Noah was something I will remember forever. We are officially into the Month of May and we couldn't be more excited. We are rooting for you Romain! Formula 1 at Miami was something to behold. Whoever thought that intro was a good idea should DEFINITELY NOT be in charge in Vegas. God help us all if they are. We cover that and so much more on another edition of the Lap Zero Podcast.

This week on the Lap Zero Podcast, the Driver of the #3 HMD Motorsports Indy NXT Car, Josh Green, joins us after his weekend at Barber. All of our favorite series are back on track but not all of them panned out. NASCAR at Dover was a decent race and had a few controversial moments. The Formula 1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix was all but grand. Even with the media crew almost getting taken out in the pitlane at the end of the race, it was still one of the more boring races we have seen in a while. Norman was at Barber this weekend and takes us through Sunday from a "grandstand" point of view. All the while, Josh Green sticks around to discuss his career, experiences, future, and even offers some free sim-racing advice on another edition of the Lap Zero Podcast.

This week on the Lap Zero Podcast, the guys talk safety! NASCAR ran at Martinsville this last weekend. Between Chase Elliot's comeback and Kevin Harvick's stage win, it was overall a pretty good race. Our iRacing league, League Zero, just wrapped up the season. We cover some results and expectations for the future. Indy car gave us a thriller at Long Beach, but raised some safety concerns. Should marshals be allowed on track under a yellow? Formula 1 has taken their stance, but the AMR Safety team showed us that they seem to think it's ok. Also, are safety rules across all categories getting too strict? What should our expectations be as fans, and what expectations should the drivers have moving forward? We answer all of this and more on the 12th edition of the Lap Zero Podcast.

Antonio had to go drive real race cars so David, Levi, and Norman take the helm for the 10th episode! It was a chaotic weekend of racing. Texas proved to be worth the price of admission between the HUGE wreck in the Craftsman Trucks Series race and the incredible spectacle that was Indy Cars. Kyle Larson put on an impressive performance at Richmond and we do our best to talk NASCAR without our resident stock car expert. Also, Formula 1 had a bit of a disaster of a race in Melbourne and left us all scratching our heads. We talk sim-racing, motorsport rules, and more on this weeks edition of the Lap Zero Podcast.

Friday Mar 31, 2023

The guys sit down for a NASCAR heavy episode on this week's edition of the Lap Zero Podcast. COTA proved to be both an entertaining and drama-filled race, but should we even be racing here? Should NASCAR kick the stage cautions for good? What's going on with Bubba Wallace? Was the "choose cone" a good move at road courses?  Plus, Formula 1 is back for the Australian Grand Prix in this week's "Bin it, In it, or Win it" segment. We cover some driver talk, some team drama, and more!

The guys sit down to cover another action packed week of racing! Formula 1 took to the streets of Jeddah for the second Grand Prix of the year and did not disappoint. Atlanta Motor Speedway played host to NASCAR, and the Xfinity Series race gave everyone something to talk about. (We love Josh Williams!) Both IMSA and WEC were at Sebring this past weekend for the 1000 miles of Sebring and the 12 Hours of Sebring. We cover all these races and so much more on another episode of the Lap Zero Podcast.

The guys sit down to talk a little bit of everything on this week's episode of the Lap Zero Podcast. Hendrick's continues to show their dominance on the oval but could the NASCAR officials throw a wrench in their path to the Championship? Both WEC and IMSA are at Sebring this week following an interesting Practice session that may be showing Peugeot's hand. On top of that, Meyer-Shank Racing was found guilty of cheating at the Rolex 24 hours of Daytona! And of course, Formula 1 is making the short trip to Saudi Arabia from Bahrain after a week off. Stick around for our weekly "In it, Bin it, or Win it" segment to find out our picks for this weekend's Grand Prix and so much more on another episode of your favorite motorsports podcast.
