Summary

Although the kickoff to the first day of Indy 500 action got rained out, Conor Daly and Joey Mulinaro are back on Speed Street to discuss last weekend's GMR Grand Prix including Conor's potentially Denny Hamlin-like move, what drivers were saying about fighting the hot weather, and question why TV ratings fell flat despite the race's solid attendance numbers. Then, the guys talk with IMS President & Conor's step-dad Doug Boles about how IndyCar battles the track drying process, his favorite Indy 500 moments, future development plans for the track, whose idea it was to have Beth Boles ambush Conor's media day interview, and what IMS/IndyCar is doing to battle F1's trademark violation. Plus, the guys answer some Indy 500-related questions from the Door Bumper Clear gang. FOLLOW THE SHOW & GET OUR MERCH: https://linktr.ee/speedstreetpod
