I know it's not one of Pato's favorite memories, but one of mine will always be yelling Patoooooooooo!!! with 300,000+ other people on the 2nd to last lap. The sound of the crowd beating out the cars is burned in my brain.
SOme great stuff here! Pato quickly becoming one of my favorite drivers.. And my all time favorite.. Mr. Conor Daly.. Glad to see rides coming your way. Your an benefit to all forms of motorsports Conor!
I don't understand why you don't have a full time ride. I can't pretend to understand the money side of the sport, but you have a personality that makes me want to root for you.
“Rubber in your cup“ somebody with some marketing skills needs to jump on this one! Love the podcast, love your view on motorsports racing, and I love to hear the excitement in your voice, especially when you’re talking about getting a car again or a truck
Patos potential F1 seat story makes me dream what could have been if only Charlie were still with us may he rest in peace. But everything happens for a reason super happy for him. Good Luck in Xfinity and trucks Conor!
Hey Conor! I'm an intern working at the NHoF and I've really enjoyed listening to Speed Street while I process photo collections! This was such a fun interview and I hope you get Pato back on the pod soon
I’ve learned to not judge a race by the first stint. There is so much strategy unfolding I find it entertaining to try to understand what my favorites are up to.
Podium one Joe New, Lil Dave, and Alex P. Race 2 Scotty Mac, Scotty D, and Joe New. VIR is a great track enjoy, I make a couple track days up there a year. I hope you show out that world is tough to get into. Pato interview was a top three for sure.
Immediate thumbs up from me if for no other reason than the episode is up on UA-cam on Wednesday!!!👍 *also, congratulations on the Polkadot car running at IMS again in 2024! Good luck Conor!
@@ConorDaly22 I had just assumed the audio versions were released first and then the UA-cam version would post a day or so later. I’m not complaining at all. Great interview with Pato too. Looking forward to a follow-up conversation!
It was cool to hear his thought process during the last couple laps at Indy. Do I go for it now should I wait a little longer , will I still be able to pass if I wait a turn or two? All at 225-230 mph. 😮
I have a suggestion for past driver of the week. Denny Zimmerman , from the town I grew up in- Glastonbury CT..1971 or 2 rookie of the year at the 500. Maybe it's not all that exciting but for a 11 or 12 yo kid in Glastonbury, it was shocking and amazing as was his disappearance from racing afterward.
16:15 I hope I’m not the only McLaren fan that hated to see little Dave get released by the team. He has so much potential and I can’t wait to see what he will accomplish.
I think he's gonna be one of the guys that gets this hybrid figured out earlier than others. Pato, Palou, Malukas... Basically the younger guys I guess. The older guys (like me) grew up on Mario Kart, and you really only needed a couple buttons for that.
Hey man! I know this is probably meaningless coming from a random YT commenter but you have something here....I know your time in the drivers seat is far from over...but I think the impact you will have in media for all us fans and motorsports (no shit "MOTORSPORTS") is going to be massive...I know its kind of cliche and probably lame...but I cant be the only one who may see the parallels between the direction your career is going and the direction that Pat Mcafee's (another indy bro) career went...your passion for motorsports, technical knowledge, and your golden retriever energy is going to take indycar and motorsports in general to levels that we never thought we would see. Keep it up dude
Will the added tire degradation result in more marbles and a one groove track? Hopefully there’s a debri caution thrown to sweep the track if that’s the case.
As far as the iowa podium(s) go, id say pick 6 overall drivers cause theres 2 races. My dad and i generally pick 1 guy per race, in addition to our 2 championship picks. My 6 would be: Newgarden O'Ward McLaughlin Kirkwood Rosenquist Dixon
Nice podcast as usual, I always enjoy it. I saw Pato correcting as he passed Palou(not the best place to be loose) very Pato like. I'm really loving him too. Not thrilled with indycar mgt. Like you said, the race finishes are really sub par... All the drivers and teams, just like you, are gods to me. Started being a fan when your dad was in IC sponsored by Raynor and hate to see this. The biggest IC miss in my opinion is not to recognize ALL stakeholders. Marketing(not IC strong suit) after all is aimed at spectators, not owners.
@@ConorDaly22 RP etc has only focussed on owners and has not engaged in efforts for the fans, ie good podiums etc(marketing). Lack of visible plans are one of the things we fans and mfgrs like to see. Fans, Mfgs, drivers and teams etc. are also stakeholders. Keeping costs down is only one piece of the puzzle.
@@brucejankowitz4501 I think there have definitely been efforts made in those departments but maybe not the massive ones that we want. several podiums have been improved but definitely not all
1:40 Conor saying what many of us have thought, after attending a handful of races…it’s a better show on TV. THAT SAID, races are a social event, where people share in the sounds, the sights, the smells and the food that come with racing, and the outdoors. Conor seems to be the modern version of Robin Miller…different technology, but the same (maybe more) expertise/intuition. Would be cool to see the electric motor torque the car out of the pit box, then have the petrol engine engage after that…someday. I’ve said it before, the podium ceremony HAS to be on the front straight, on that portable podium/driver intro trailer. So the fans can participate.
Going to the event still is awesome but for someone who is trying to have all the info for a podcast it’s better for me to watch on tv hah Completely agree the podiums need to be much better!
That was a very good interview. Loved the insight into Helmut Marko's role at Red Bull. I get the impression you were expecting the hybrid system to create more overtaking. I know from F1 that it doesn't. It's real world purpose is fuel economy; i.e. harvest energy from braking to save on fuel. In racing it's 'free' extra performance, though I still haven't figured out whether it's actually worth lugging around an extra 100+lb of MGU and battery. Does the power boost overcome the disadvantage of the weight?
@@ConorDaly22 Thought so. Hybrid is a white elephant in racing terms. Hopefully, Seb Vettel's Race Without Trace initiative will get some traction. Stefano Domenicali at the FIA seems interested, but it'll be at least 2030 before they change the F1 regulations again.
Been thinking differently about tire degradation.. what if they design a tire that doesn’t degrade so much and came up with a car that didn’t make such a problem for passing and that combination allowed for multiple lines through a turn. Instead of one line through turns because of marbles and cars that can’t pass because the dirty air makes it impossible. Indycar must think outside the box!
"Sting Ray Robb...circulated better than he's ever circulated." Had me dying, lol. I know he brings a ton of money, but in my eyes, that's a guy that adds nothing to the series. Haven't really seen any big flashes from him...meanwhile, a guy like Sowery jumps in for a one-off for Robb's old team and lights it up. Dennis Vitolo of the modern era.
yeah i mean honestly, this sport should be for the best of the best for sure. And sadly there will always be money involved in racing but this situation is just getting annoying. That car is essentially a penske car with the information and equipment they get and even santino puts it in the top 10 every week.

Thank you!
Great interview Conor!!! Best of luck in the Xfinity series! I will be rooting for you!!!

Excited about the news you're going racing again this year! Always rooting for you to get a full-time seat somewhere tho too!
Thank you!
Never thought I'd listen to the entire podcasr. Very good episode indeed!

yeah thats a great way to view it honestly!
Spot on with the Cheesecake Factory example! Great inside info from Pato. Incredible drive to not allow the 10 to cruise away with an easy dub
haha thank you! was a great chat for sure!
Lovely chap.
That was a very Monterrey answer with his choice of food.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Such an interesting talk. Pato at Red Bull F1 is a "what if" I'm gonna think about for a while.

It’s all what you have to think about! We are processing things at a very high level
I have a suggestion for past driver of the week. Denny Zimmerman , from the town I grew up in- Glastonbury CT..1971 or 2 rookie of the year at the 500. Maybe it's not all that exciting but for a 11 or 12 yo kid in Glastonbury, it was shocking and amazing as was his disappearance from racing afterward.
Never know, we might pick him sometime!

It was very sad for sure but he’s found a good home it seems! A very good group at MSR
I think he's gonna be one of the guys that gets this hybrid figured out earlier than others. Pato, Palou, Malukas... Basically the younger guys I guess. The older guys (like me) grew up on Mario Kart, and you really only needed a couple buttons for that.

Hopefully there’s a debri caution thrown to sweep the track if that’s the case.
Honestly I think we still have a lot of questions. I hope there is deg, but still enough room to run 2 lanes
I about had a heart attack on that last corner, last lap twitch 😂
haha i know, same here
Been waiting for this one!
Hope you enjoy!
Crazy to think, I saw him at Handles that same day
Haha love it
As far as the iowa podium(s) go, id say pick 6 overall drivers cause theres 2 races. My dad and i generally pick 1 guy per race, in addition to our 2 championship picks.

did i do my reasearch about the new hybrids? yes but i also happily listened to Pato explain how things work now :D
He did a great job!
It was definitely NOT boring.
I mean everyone has an opinion but there really wasn’t anything happening the beginning part of the race haha. Definitely better at the end of course
