Our first guest to open the month of May is Sage Karam, who had an impressive start with placing P4 in the No. 24 Dreyer & Reinbold Chevy. From recent thoughts of leaving racing behind to channeling a WWE superstar inside the car today, Karam had some great stories to tell during his visit.

0:00.0	Sage Karam, welcome to the first edition, the 2021 edition of the day at Indy.
0:09.5	You know, I love being reminded of how stupid I am and when it's good folks like you who can serve home that proof, even better doing our little predictions and expectations for
0:23.0	the Indy 500 your team was one of the two that I said boy based on past performances
0:29.4	you really do have to be worried about Sage and whether they might be one of the two entries
0:35.0	going home all I can tell you, my man, after rocketing,
0:40.9	rocketing to the top of the list here on day one of practice,
0:45.5	you got to be feeling really good about your chances.
