122 - Roll Speed - Long Beach Winner Scott Dixon on Fuel Saving and Championship Prospects

Speed Street

Conor Daly returns from the streets of Long Beach to join co-host Chase Holden for another edition of Speed Street. The latest running of the historic IndyCar event saw fuel saving, strategy, controversy and tempers flare. Conor explains to listeners some of the strategies that came into play after Christian Rasmussen’s crash brought out a caution. Ultimately, Scott Dixon put on a fuel saving clinic, making the longest run of the race to bring home the victory. Conor and Chase also weigh in on Pato O’Ward’s penalty assessment for making unnecessary contact with teammate Alexander Rossi, as well as Colton Herta’s late race dust-up with Josef Newgarden.

After the break, the guys are joined by race winner Scott Dixon to chat about how he felt the new technical aspects of the IndyCar Dallara handled the Long Beach circuit this year. Conor asked when Scott’s strategy came into play and at which point in his career did his expertise in fuel saving develop. The conversation also looks ahead to Indianapolis and Scott weighs his expectations for the Ganassi team. They discuss this weekend in Barber and Scott fills listeners in on how Team Ganassi is faring with the addition of a fifth car in their paddock this season.
