All right, everybody. Welcome back to the Untitled Jeff Buck podcast. I'm your host, Jeff

Gluck, and I'm here at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. I'm actually outside right now. You can

probably hear a lot of background noise. I'm recording this on Carb Day. So that was the final

practice for the Indy 500, where Tony Kahn was fastest. But is Tony

Kenan the favorite for the race? No, he's not, not necessarily, because a lot of the drivers

saying there are no favorites, it's kind of wide open. But I want you to hear it from them

themselves instead of me just saying it. So I'm going to play some clips here that I recorded during the Media Day on Thursday.

If you ask the odds makers, they think that Alexander Rossi is the person to beat.

At least that's what Bavada sent out to a bunch of reporters when they had their fullest of odds.

But I ask Alexander Rossi about that, and he thinks there's another reason.

Or they don't want anyone to bet a lot of money on it because I'm starting in the back.

That's probably smart for them.

I've been bet on sports before.

That makes sense.

So if it's not Alexander Rossi, who is the favorite?

Who is the favorite I mean this is this race has been won by many different people it seems to be

wide open at times seem to have a a Daytona Taladega quality at times with the

amount of passing that goes on especially the last few years who do some people

think it's a favorite how about about you, Sebastian Borde?

Yeah, I mean, there's always the usual suspects. I think Ilya's been showing strong,

you know, the whole week. You know, whether you disregard qualifying or not. I think, you know,

Elio always seems to be that guy who just, in the race dream, you know, seems to be when everybody's struggling, seems to be able to make moves stick and be on the move. So he says Elio Castronevis. Does Elio agree?
