Welcome in to another episode of The Racing Report. My name is Rob Peters. I’m so glad you’ve decided to tune in for this fabulous little half hour where we’re gonna talk all things motor sports because we’ve got a lot to break down from the past week, a lot of stuff going on in NASCAR, a lot of stuff going on in Formula One, a lot of stuff going on in IndyCar and supercars, all and all things in between. We’ve got to get you caught up on all of those plus we had a sizable amount of races from this past weekend that we’ve got to get you caught up for, and we had a lot of races there coming up. This weekend that we’ve got to get you caught up for, so keep it here right here for the next 30 minutes because we’re gonna talk about all of that, uh, coming up here. But remember also, if you like this show, please do, uh, give me a follow on social media. That really means a lot to me and that helps me know that you do indeed like this show.

Now let’s go ahead and get on into the Formula One news of the week because we’ve got a bit to talk about. First of all, let’s discuss, uh, Max Vers stop and Max Verstappen says he has fully committed to Red Bull racing for the in Formula One for at least the next year through 2026. So it looks like Red Max Verstappen is staying put, at least through 2026, kind of putting to bed some of those rumors that were discussed in previous weeks about maybe he could go to Mercedes, maybe he could be. things around, maybe he could have an exit clause going on in his contract that would allow him to seek employment elsewhere, but apparently, instead, he has quelled those rumors ahead of the Hungarian Grand Prix weekend and said, no, I, I’m staying at Red Bull for 2026. My, uh, the, the, the clauses, my exit clauses have passed, so I’m staying here. So, uh, at least for some Red Bull fans, for maybe the Dutch fans, that’s probably some good news, assuming that Red Bull continues to produce a, uh, a race winning race car, uh, in Formula One. Meanwhile, uh, Ferrari team principal Frederick Vassor was given a multi-year contract extension ahead of the Hungarian Grand Prix. So, uh, Formula One will not see any, uh, team principle changes, at least in the near future. Uh, finally, here in our excuse me, second to last year in Formula One, the defending Super Formula champion, that’s Sho Saboy, uh, he was given an F1 test in a, uh, racing car, F1 car. Uh, at Fuji Speedway over the past couple of days, the test reportedly is not a reward for winning last year’s Super Formula title, but instead it is an audition to see uh Savoy’s future potential in Formula One. Now Savoy currently holds the points lead in Super Formula by just 3 points over Kakanoshin Ota. Just 3 points, 3 points. I remember there’s another formula, uh, super formula race coming up this weekend. So, uh, I’m surehou boys probably run it riding high. Now it is a 2 year old Haas car, but still they are evaluating him and remember he is a Toyota affiliated driver over there in uh Super Formula and remember the uh large uh investment that Toyota has made into the Haas F1 team at least within the past year, so. I’d be very curious to see where this goes, if this is indeed, you know, this is a good solid audition. Now I believe Rio Hirokawa is also gonna be riding, going out there and testing the car as well. But Uh, very interesting to see that Shosa Boy is getting an actual audition for potential Formula One ride or maybe rides in in other forms of motor sport that Toyota participates in. Just, uh, very interesting there. We’ll have to see where that goes. And then the final piece of Formula One news we’re gonna talk about here before we move on is that, uh, the F1 movie has officially become Brad Pitt’s most successful film. I know this is. Probably like how much does this have to do with anything? What does it have to do with racing? Well, I just think it’s kind of a cool little piece of news to throw in here because uh the F1 movie has officially grossed about over $545 million worldwide. Now that eclipse Brad Pitt’s previously most successful film, which was World War Z. if you saw that movie, uh, you. I know how successful that was at the box office, but now the F1 movie has surpassed that. So congratulations to everybody involved in that production and kind of cool to see F1, the F1 movie get as much praise as I think that it probably deserved. Yes, I think there were some issues with it, but again, it is a movie, it’s not necessarily meant to be true to I mean, it’s supposed to be true to the product, but it’s also allowed to take some liberties here and there, and I think that’s what it did. Uh, granted, I think there were a couple of other issues with the film, but overall I think it was just a great film, uh, to watch a fun, a fun feature film if you’re a Formula One fan for sure. Maybe if you’re a race fan you might like it, but I know if you’re a Formula One fan you’ll definitely like it, that’s for sure. So that is it for the Formula One news this week. Let’s go ahead and move on into our next topic here, which is the IndyCar series because there was a big piece of IndyCar news that dropped just after we recorded last week’s show. So we didn’t get a chance to cover it on last week’s show, but now we’re getting a chance to cover it now, and that is that Fox Corporation has officially acquired a 33%, AKA a 13 stake in Penski Entertainment, which owns the IndyCar series. And the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Now this will reportedly keep uh the series on Fox and Fox Networks at least through the 2030 season, so that at least gives us about 5 more years with Fox to see where this goes. Um, this deal is according to the Wall Street Journal, this deal is valued between $125 to $135 million and, and, and I think a lot of the big questions now become is what does this mean for the series? Well, number one. I think a lot, it was very interesting reading some of the stories that came out from this, especially in the Indy Star Nathan Brown and the Indy Star put out a really, really good story talking about this where basically, you know, Zack Brown and Michael Andretti and some other team owners were criticizing Roger Pensky earlier for not earlier this year or late last year as well for not investing in the series and saying, well, if you’re not going to do it, then just sell an ownership stake of it. Sell. Part of the series to somebody who will invest that money into promotion and into things that are important in growing the IndyCar series because right now I think what we’ve seen since Pensky took over and this is half my opinion half based in some fact, but IndyCar’s level of popularity has stagnated. It’s not really growing like it was during the early part of the 2000s, uh, 2010s, I should say. You know, when Randy Bernard kinda came in and said, no, here we’re gonna do all these things different, we’re gonna go back to these tracks that we never should have left. We’re gonna put together this brand new race car we’re gonna do all of these things and and really shaped the future of IndyCar for at least the next 10 years. Uh, and now since then, I feel like it’s been very. Stagnated. It’s been, it hasn’t been growing. Obviously the Indianapolis 500 is growing, but the rest of the series is more or less just falling behind in the wayside. So my personal belief for this, and this is what I hope is, is that that extra investment from Fox will help allow the series to promote itself, hopefully add new events that won’t be just 3 year deals where by the end of the 3rd year. It’s barely hanging on by a thread. It’s just barely making even you’re lucky if you can even get a decent crowd size coming out there because that’s unfortunately what we’ve seen with a handful of IndyCar races over the past decade, maybe decade and a half really, where you have these. I, I don’t wanna I don’t know how to say this, but just ill timed or ill prepared street races, and, and I can go back and I can think of a lot of them obviously the two that just jump off my head first and foremost or that race in Boston that never happened that ended up being replaced with Watkins Glen and of course IndyCar couldn’t even capitalize on that to make people care about coming out to an IndyCar race at Watkins Glen and then at Baltimore, which obviously was a huge hit. A very popular event for the people of downtown Baltimore, but again you’re working with promoters who just don’t know what they’re doing and things fall through. Also races in Houston have fallen through around Reliant Park that fell through. We’ve had a handful of other races obviously look at what happened in Nashville. With that whole debacle, you thought you had a really successful street race down there, but it turns out the promoters didn’t know what they were doing, and they were bleeding money the entire time. And when Scott Borchetta came in and took over the promotership of the role, he realized, hey, you guys are operating on some sort of cloud that I’m not sure where how you got there, but the fact of the matter is this race is not gonna happen on the streets of downtown Nashville in 2024, and it probably won’t happen again until at least 2026, and I don’t even know if that’s gonna happen because I. I think the Nashville Super Speedway seems to care quite a bit and and there’s a substantial difference to that, not to get off topic here, but if you look at how much Iowa Speedway promoted the IndyCar race and then compare it to how much Nashville Superspeedway is promoting it, it’s a night and day difference. You go straight to Nashville Superspeedway’s website and the front page is all about the IndyCar race coming up here at the end of the month. Meanwhile, when the IndyCar series was coming to Iowa, it was all about the NASCAR race. It was barely even mentioned. These are things that I hope that Fox can help address in the future work with these promoters, get some of these things working a lot better now do I think it’s gonna lead to more oval races? I don’t know. Maybe, maybe you could find a promoter that isn’t completely incompetent at their job and will actually tell people that a race is in town. Um, so you avoid what we saw at Iowa a couple of weeks ago. Again, a lot of this is still we’re still kind of seeing what’s going on with this, but I feel like this is a very good move for IndyCar. I think this is something that they’ve needed to do for a long time is sell a small ownership stake. And give it to some sort of entertainment company like Fox who can actually who actually knows what to do with it and there was a quote by one of the Fox executives, uh, during when this was announced that I thought was very important and and and the Fox exec basically said they were mad when the UFC moved to ESPN because they felt that they had done all of this work to promote the UFC and build it into a legitimate sports property. Only to have it leave for ESPN. They don’t want the same thing to happen here for IndyCar, and I can kind of see where they’re coming from that because if you think about maybe a decade ago, maybe 12-ish years ago, right around the time when Fox Sports One took over from Speed, rest in peace, I miss Speed every day. I’m sure a lot of you guys do do as well. I’m not saying this is wind tunnel, but hey. It’s our little solace that makes it pretend like we’re watching Speed Channel, even though you’re watching a Tegna Street. I digress. Um, you’re, you’re looking at that and yeah, when you were watching a lot of that, Fox did promote the UFC. There were a lot of personalities in the UFC that I don’t think we would have known about had it not been for Fox’s heavy promotion, and what ended up happening. The UFC grew into the billion dollar company that it is today and, and so I think Fox has the right idea here with IndyCar. I just hope that they implement it, uh, the correct way and again we’ll have to see how that goes, uh, as the jury is still kind of out since it’s still a fresh uh fresh news release, but. I’m positive. I feel positive about it and we’ll, we’ll keep you updated on anything that might change or might happen with it and anything that’s new. Uh, now let’s move on into the supercars world of news because there’s some, there’s a bit to get to today, and I think that we need to discuss this here before we take our first break. Number one is that Supercars has decided to scrap the controversial rule that they implemented last year that required the primary driver to start all of the endurance races. So now teams will be allowed to choose between their primary. Driver or their co-driver to start the races at the Bend and at Bathurst coming up here in the next several weeks. This is great news. I’m glad that they finally amended this and fixed this. I didn’t like it when it was announced. I don’t think a lot of other people did either. Teams didn’t like it. I think this is a good move, so we’ll be able to see some of those co-drivers actually start these Euros. Uh, as opposed to having them for being forced to watch them on the sideline, and you’ll be, you’ll probably see a lot more driver strategy when when drivers get changed and when you do those things, just like a good old fashioned endurance race is supposed to supposed to be like, um, and then the next and final piece of supercars news here and this is really cool. I wanna, I’m, I’m glad I get to talk about this. It is heavily rumored, at least according to SpeedCcafe.com, that NASCAR. Series winner and former Xfinity Series champion Austin Siri could drive a 3rd Ford Mustang for Tickford Racing during the Adelaide Grand Final. Now this would finally put a NASCAR driver on the supercars grid, which is something that the series and teams have been trying to do, especially since you’ve got all these supercars drivers going over to NASCAR and running NASCAR races. Supercars once. Things to go about the other way sometimes here and there, uh, and they’ve tried, uh, with even attempts at getting Kyle Busch and also Kyle Larson to run, uh, some of those races, but those have fizzled out. But now it looks like Austin C Siric might be the guy that they’re finally gonna be able to get run that Supercars grand final. It will take place after the the NASCAR season has concluded. So it should work out scheduling wise, hopefully and, and here’s something else that’s important to note too is Cedric reportedly has a long standing desire to race in supercars, which is something that started when his father Tim was working with the Dick Johnson Racing DJR team Pensky team, uh, when that partnership was alive and well, uh, several years ago. And so I think this will be really cool. I think it gives a lot some American fans maybe another option, a reason to tune into supercars more often, not just. That it’s great racing, but I think seeing Austin C Siric is definitely a cool deal. I know it’s not Kyle Busch, it’s not Kyle Larson, it’s maybe not some of the more quote unquote successful drivers, but I think Austin C Siric has proven himself on road courses plenty of times in the past, not just in the Xfinity Series, but also in other forms of motor sports before, uh, he comes from primarily also a road racing background as well, so I think this might suit him just a little bit better and remember the current. Car and the Gen 3 supercar are pretty close to are pretty similar in how they operate. They’re not, it’s not a 1 to 1, but they’re pretty similar, so I’ll be curious to see how Cendric um does it if and when this gets formally announced. But uh, that is it for this first pet part of news. When we come back, we’re gonna talk about everything you need to know that happened in the world of NASCAR this past week. So do not go anywhere. Keep it right here on the racing report. And welcome back to the racing Report. My name is Rob Peters. Let’s get you caught up on all the racing news out of the world of NASCAR from the last couple of weeks from the last week, I should say, uh, some good news. Let’s start off on some good news. Stuart Freesson is finally going home after 9 days in the hospital. He now has a long road to recovery after his dirt modified crash, but on the bright side, he is going home, had successful surgeries. Very happy to see that. That is some great news. And we have some updates as well on the the status of his truck team and who’s gonna drive that going. Forward, so Christopher Bell is gonna drive the number 54 truck at Watkins Glen this upcoming weekend, and then after that, Cayden Honeycutt is gonna race that truck for the remainder of the season. Now why is this happening? Why Cayden Honeyutt? Well, it just so happened it worked out because Honey Cut earlier this week was released by Nice Motorsports because the team found out that he had signed a deal with a different manufacturer for next season, which again is, I think his his ability he’s. Fully in the right to do that. It’s his career if he is offered a chance to sign with a team, if he doesn’t have a deal in place for next year. I think he should be able to do that, but of course Nice Motorsports said no, no, we offered him a multi-year contract, and now they’re pulling him out of that truck, but he’s gonna race, I believe, for Young’s Motorsports this weekend at Watkins Glen and then take over the 52 for Halmar Freesen going forward. Now this is actually great because that 52 truck by virtue of its win earlier this season in Michigan is locked into the owners’ playoffs. Now Kayton Honeycutt as well is above the cut line in the playoffs. So even though he was just released from his ride, he’s still seeded 6th in points and 9th in the playoffs. So it’s entirely possible that if Cayden Honeycutt does well at Watkins Glen and then coming up here in the next couple of weeks and is able to stay in that playoff hunt. He’ll be able to race for the playoffs with that 52 truck, and so the 52 truck will be able to race for the owners’s championship and Honeycutt will be able to race for the driver’s championship. So but this all depends on Honeycutt staying above that cut line. I don’t know if he’s gonna win a race, but he’s got to stay above that cut line. I think that he might be able to do it, uh, but again, we’ll just have to see because again it’s the. Final 10 spots, he’s seeded 9th, so he cannot, he does not have a lot of room for error despite being 6th overall in the play in the point standings. He is seeded 9th in the playoff standings. So just some news there to keep that in mind, uh, going forward. Uh, speaking of truck series drivers, uh, Corey Haim is going to return to the Cup series coming up here in a cup. Weeks with 2311 driving the number 67 Toyota at Richmond, um, meanwhile, also a lower feeder series, I guess. I don’t know, um, Austin Hill has been granted a playoff waiver. We talked about last week. He was suspended for this week, this past weekend’s race at Iowa for intentionally wrecking Erio Almirola at Indianapolis, but he has been granted a playoff waiver, but as Per the new rules that were announced at the beginning of the year, because this is not a medical exempt playoff waiver, he now forfeits all of his playoff points through the rest of the regular season. So even so let’s say hypothetically he dominates at Daytona like he’s done before, it won’t matter. I mean the win will count, but he will not reap any of those benefits other than already winning. I mean, he’s already won a race this year. He’s already in the playoffs, so winning at Daytona doesn’t really even matter. What he’s gonna have to do is make it past the round of 12 and then win at Talladega, otherwise this season is basically done because he has 0 playoff points. He’s gonna be seeded probably 12th in the playoffs when. That that that cut line come when the playoffs start. It’s gonna be tough for him to to get out there unless he goes out there and has an incredible first round and is able to advance and then is able to hang in there and do what he does best, which is race on restrictor plate races, or excuse me, the Super Speedway races and win at Talladega. That’s what he’s unfortunately going to need to do, and I’m not sure if that everything’s gonna work out for him given the substantial, uh, the, the serious substantial setback he’s set now, uh, when it comes to the point standings, um. But, uh, also speaking of the Xfinity series, here’s something cool also stemming from the uh supercars, which we talked about before the break, uh, defending Supercars champion Will Brown is going to return to the NASCAR Xfinity series, uh, coming up in a couple of weeks’ time at Portland. He’ll drive that number 11 car for college racing, which, as we talked about last week, was vacated. When uh the team parted ways with Josh Williams, meanwhile coming up this weekend, Michael McDowell will pilot that number 11 car, and then at Daytona, Justin Haley will drive that number 11 car as he returns to Col racing for the first time since he left for Rickware Racing at the end of 2023. Uh, final piece of NASCAR news here before we take our final break of the show. ACA driver Brent Cruz has formed his own NASCAR Craftsman Trucks series team, and it is set to debut this weekend at Watkins Glen, uh, and Cruz will pilot the number 70 Toyota this weekend and in select races in the future, those have not yet been formally announced. So that is it for the NASCAR news so far this week. That’s it for really all of the news, but don’t go anywhere, just don’t go anywhere just yet, because we’ve got to get you caught up on all the races that happened this past weekend, and we gotta get you ready for all those races that are coming up this weekend because it’s a lot. There’s a lot of them. There’s a lot of racing series that were off last week that are back this week, so we gotta get you caught up on those. So do not go anywhere. You are watching the racing Report. And welcome back to the racing Report. My name is Rob Peters. I’m so glad you’ve stuck with us here as we’re gonna catch you up on all the races that happened this past weekend, the NASCAR Cup Series. And the Xfinity Series were both at Iowa Speedway over the past weekend and uh in the Cup Series it was William Byron finally winning out on a fuel mileage race after having lost fuel mileage races at both Michigan and at Indianapolis. It was very intense to say the least, but also I. I think a lot of people are rightfully criticizing the NASCAR next gen car again because again we had a short track race that was pretty much dominated by dirty air, making it very difficult to pass. Obviously William Byron running pretty much half throttle for the remainder of the final, at least 10 to 15 laps, kind of concerning that nobody was able to make up any ground on him, Ryan Blaney with more better tires, more fuel. Was not really able to make a charge like I think a lot of people would have expected to see. Definitely I think we had some problems there in the Cup Series side, but now Elton Sawyer has said something apparently on Sirius XM NASCAR radio where he is thinking about raising the horsepower at the very least on tracks less than 1 mile.5 in length. I hope it’s less tracks less than 1 mile and a half in length. I hope they don’t think, yeah, we’re gonna, we should increase horsepower at all these 1.5s where we’re actually having good racing. No, I think it needs to be at the tracks that we’re struggling to see good racing at right now, and that is unfortunately the short tracks like Iowa Speedway. Still an OK race. I’m OK with fuel mileage races. I can understand why some people might not be. I feel like for me after so long of just watching ridiculous overtime finishes that don’t really need to happen half the time, it’s nice to see a race actually play out and a fuel strategy play out even if I think maybe NBC Sports and TNT Sports before them or maybe hyping these up a little bit more than they actually are. I think maybe the drivers are a little bit better on fuel than Maybe some other, maybe the the television media is making it seem, but again, you look at some of that and you’re like, well, and this is how long the fuel the fuel window is supposed to be. Well, it looks like they hit it here and looks like they’re gonna run out, but it’s gonna be pretty close, you know, it makes sense to kind of hype that up and say, OK, well, I think somebody might run out. But then ultimately they just don’t and still have time to to do burnouts, so that is what it is. But uh at least in the Xfinity Series we saw one heck of a race, a lot of action overall in that Xfinity Series. Uh, Sam Mayer getting his first win of the season. That’s good for him. He’s locked himself into the playoffs as well, so that’s, that’s some pretty good. I thought it was a good race. The Arcas series was also in in action there, uh, at Iowa Speedway. So a lot of good fun races going on this weekend in Iowa, especially, well, maybe not so much in the Cup series, but definitely in the Xfinity and Arca series, I think you could say you had a lot of fun, uh, watching those races. Now, in Formula One though, you had also a fun one in the Hungarian Grand Prix, very close race there between, uh, Oscar Piatri and Lando Norris. Lando Norris obviously getting the victory, but it was close. It was very close. It’s not very often you see 2 F1 cars that are teammates finish as close as the McLarens did and not have some sort of team orders playing in. Like it’s very much Zack Brown is like, You guys race, you guys race, just don’t go do anything stupid, don’t wreck each other, don’t. The team damage, don’t cost the team time, but you know, if they have that, what did they win by like 15 seconds or something over George Russell? Yeah, go ahead and let him race and Lord have mercy. Piatri was gonna try, try, try as he might, but, uh, here’s the thing, here’s the thing, as we now go into this 3 week summer break. Oscar Piatri’s lead over his teammate Lando Norris is down to 9 points, just 9 points. And I’m very curious to see if who’s going to benefit the most in that McLaren camp from this summer break? Is it going to be Piaastri? Is it going to be Norris? Norris obviously riding the high of having won at Hung Hungary and having held off his teammate. But what’s Pietri’s mindset right now? I wonder what his mindset is. Is it one of, yeah, I could still win this title, or is it one of boy, Lando’s giving me more, more of a run for my money than maybe I expected. I’m, I’m very curious to see and I’ll be curious to see what happens when the Dutch Grand Prix rolls around here in about 3 weeks’ time. But that’s it for those races that happened this past weekend. We, let’s talk about some of the races that are happening this weekend, because there’s a lot of them. We’ve got a couple of series that are we’re off for a couple of weeks that are now back. Obviously NASCAR taking no breaks, as is normal, as typical. They race basically every week, uh, throughout the season, but the Cup Series, the Xfinity series, truck series. And the Arca series will all be in Watkins Glen this weekend for some road course racing. Who doesn’t love a good old race at Watkins Glen? I’m thrilled to see the truck series back at Watkins Glen. I think that’s gonna be a fun race to have to watch. It’s gonna be a Friday doubleheader between the Arca series and the truck series there on, uh, Friday, then the Xfinity Series races Saturday Cup series on Sunday, as is typical. Uh, meanwhile, the IndyCar Series is heading out west to Portland. They’ve got just 3 races left before they finish up their season coming up here on August 31st at Nashville. So we’ve got to go to Portland. That’ll be our final road course of the of the season. Then we go finish the season off with two straight ovals at Milwaukee and in Nashville. Very curious to see that. And again, I will be in that race at Nashville, not in. And I will be at that race in Nashville. I’m very looking forward to it. Went to the race last year, had a fantastic time. I think that’s one heck of a race. If you’re thinking about it, I just checked some some of the, uh, secondhand site prices, $64 for a fairly decent ticket. Now we’re not talking cheap seats down front where you can’t hardly see anything. We’re talking seats on right in front of the start finish lane that are about halfway. If not 3/4 of the way up to the top of the seats. So you might want to grab those if you can, if you can afford them. I highly recommend it. It’s gonna be a banger coming up here. But then, uh, this weekend also we got supercars there in Queensland this weekend, so looking forward to that. Supercars coming back after they were off for several weeks. Also a racing series that was off for several weeks is Super Formula, also another series we talked about earlier this week. If you want to see that. Like I said, we got that that’s a super close points battle as well. They’ve only got 3 events left, one race here this weekend at Sugo. Then they’ve got, uh, 4 more races after that, I believe, before they wrap up the season, uh, but 2 events really, uh, so it’s, you know, those double header events over there in Super Formula, but a very close championship panel, if you want to check that out, I highly recommend it, especially since Shosu Boy might be closer to Formula One than we all think. You might want to get to know him pretty well. So, but that is it for this week’s show. I really appreciate you all, uh, tuning in for this, this little program. I really appreciate it. It’s a lot of fun to do, uh, and I really appreciate all of you guys’ support. So again, make sure if you do like this show, follow me on social media.

I don’t know, just throw it out there if you want. It’s an option anyway, uh, that’s it for this week’s episode. We thank you so much again, we’ll be back next week for another episode of the racing report, but for right now for WTHR Plus, my name is Rob Peters, and this has been the racing Report.
