Ep 14. Big Bold Statements

Rev up your engines and join Parker and Landon for a thrilling ride through the latest in racing. They kick off the episode reminiscing about Parker's nail-biting near win at Road America, where he led the race for 15 tantalizing seconds with just two laps to go. They then shift gears to discuss Max's dominating 22-second win over Perez, debating the importance of having a teammate that complements but doesn't outpace you. The dynamic duo also reflect on their personal experiences of having teammates in similar equipment, and how this camaraderie and competition play out on the track. Next up, they tackle the issue of team principals' job security seeming to wobble as the F1's popularity grows. Richmond Raceway comes under scrutiny, as they agree its entertainment value has stalled, with the last good race dating back to the early 2000s. NASCAR's new splitter test for short tracks isn't earning high marks either, leading them to question whether it's achieving its intended effect. A concerning trend emerges as Xfinity drivers seem reluctant to move up to the cup, prompting a debate over whether this is the worst drivers' market ever. Finally, they give a shoutout to Formula E as the best upcoming series that's somehow still flying under the radar.
