Ep 23. Parker's Near Wins, Crafton Sanchez Fight Breakdown, Andretti F1 Bid Partially Approved

Landon and Parker return from a week hiatus, filled with all sorts of hijinks. Parker nearly wins two races in his off time, Producer Josh goes off and gets engaged to his lady, and who knows what Landon was up to in his free time! The team breakdown Parker's pace at Texas, deconstructing PK's moves into Turn 3 at Texas to figure out how he could have won the race. The attention then turns to Parker's Talladega Truck performance, in a new chassis built specifically for superspeedways. Next, the duo focuses on the good, the bad, and the ugly of the Matt Crafton and Nick Sanchez post race scuffle that resulted in fines and some facial bleeding. Xfinity driver moves are discussed, where the idea of Confidence as a Driver being one of the factors that can move a driver from being good to being great. The team takes a look into Harvick's DQ and the Cup series making a trek to Landon's home turf of Iowa for 2024. They then dive into another major move from Spire, as they purchased KBM for quite a bit of cash. They turn their attention to Andretti's F1 bid, which has finally been approved by the FIA. What does this mean for the next step as it faces it's biggest road block, the FOM and other F1 Teams. The attention is now on Formula E as it has made a rather bold claim as the 4th biggest motorsport in the world, surpassing NASCAR.
