MIXING NASCAR CUP WITH SHORT TRACK CHAMPIONSHIPS – TAKING A FORMULA 1 DETOUR- GETTING THE HANG OF THE NEXTGEN CAR

MIXING NASCAR CUP WITH SHORT TRACK CHAMPIONSHIPS – TAKING A FORMULA 1 DETOUR- GETTING THE HANG OF THE NEXTGEN CAR

This week’s Wind Tunnel features a trio of guests who will give you some insight into the passion of auto racing.

Tim Brown has called Bowman Gray Stadium ALL his life. From sitting in the grandstands watching Grandpa tackle that flat ¼ miler to his record setting 11 Advance Auto Parts Track Championships.

But Brown’s passion stretches beyond his own racing. He is a crucial member of Roush-Fenway-Keselowski Racing as well. I think you will discover after listening to him, that the key to racing success is the same regardless of the discipline.

Ryan Blaney grew up watching his dad Dave Blaney steer his way to the very top of NASCAR’s pyramid. And now, Ryan is there as well, driving the Team Penske Mustang number 12.

This weekend at Martinsville Blaney carries the colors of Advance Auto Parts for the first time this season and in addition to he and I talking about that, we also unpack his thoughts about the new NASCAR NextGen car.

One year ago, Dane driver Christian Lundgaard was immersed in a pursuit of a Formula One career. He was part of Alpine’s driver development program when he took a holiday in the US to try his hand in the IndyCar Harvest GP on the Indy Road Course, driving for Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing.

He impressed the entire IndyCar Paddock with his performance and earned a ride with RLL for this year’s IndyCar campaign. That meant that he had to add oval racing to his race craft and I visit with him after in his very first Oval Race, The Expel 375 at the mile and half Texas Motor Speedway. He shares his thoughts on that and we talk about his expectations this weekend in his very first Acura GP on the streets of Long Beach.
