IndyCar season is underway.

The debut race of the 26th season taking place yesterday on the streets of St. Petersburg, it was Alex Palo.

Winning in pretty impressive fashion, running right behind him was the guy that was the poll sitter,

Scott McLaughlin, and in Scott McLaughlin's ear for the course of the race, a longtime staple within the paddock. And of course, the president at one time of Penske, Team Penske, and then a bit of a vacation, but he is back in the paddock and Tim Cynrick, who joins us now on the Java House. Cold brew coffee guest line. First off, Tim, how are you? It's a pleasure to have you.

Good, man.

How are you doing, Jake? You know what? I can't complain. And I'm curious from your standpoint, and I want to get into just kind of your emotions of all of it in a minute. But when you are a car that starts on pole, and really, McLaughlin, I thought, had a solid day running. It didn't look like you guys had any sort of an issue or he put the tire wrong anywhere

and then you finish in second uh still a solid

finish to be on the podium but do you take away from that um that it was a good weekend or a weekend

where you left something out there it was solid um yeah i think to start the season out that's what

you want to do you don't want to play catch up. But, yeah, certainly you want to win the race. You know, that's what we're there to do. But, you know, sit on the pole and, you know, run second to Alex. You know, right now I think everybody's racing for second until we get just a bit better. I think the speed is there.

Scott actually had more speed than he even showed on Saturday. But he drove a great race.

You know, he executed. He did everything he could do really to, you know, do what we did yesterday.
