181 - The Iceman Rises - Scott Dixon Breaks Through to Win at Mid-Ohio

It was quite an eventful day at Mid-Ohio for Conor Daly, and he's back on Speed Street to give us the lowdown. He joins co-host Chase Holden to recap his on-track incident with Santino Ferrucci and the rest of his weekend with the Juncos Hollinger Race Team. Conor reports that he had his best road course qualifying effort of the year and felt incredibly optimistic about the team’s progress before the contact with Ferrucci caused him to lose 11-seconds in track position and took him out of contention for a good finish. Conor also gives listeners some insight to his recent test at Iowa and what can be expected at this weekend’s double header.

Mid-Ohio race winner Scott Dixon joins the show to chat about his ability to capitalize on Alex Palou’s late race mistake, which parked him in victory lane for the 59th time in his IndyCar career. Scott explains he was struggling with tire wear at different points in the race and wasn’t sure how the two main strategies would play out before he saw a dust cloud from Palou running off the track. From there, he deployed his hybrid boost and push to pass to gain a major run on the 10-car, which ended up being the winning move of the race. Scott also talks about celebrating with his son Kit at the track for the first time, his takeaways from the recent Iowa test and his expectations for the rest of the 2025 season.
