This week on Historic Hot Laps, we’re blending the roar of the present with the echoes of racing history.

First, we break down the 2025 IndyCar Doubleheader at Iowa Speedway, where short-oval strategy and tire conservation defined the weekend. From bold passes in Turn 1 to championship shakeups, we’ve got all the insight on who dominated the cornfield bullring—and who left scratching their heads.

Then we shift gears to wine country and review the NASCAR Cup Series race at Sonoma Raceway. High-speed drama, fuel strategy, and the return of road-course ringers gave us another classic on the California hills. We’ll recap key moments, pit strategy gambles, and where this leaves the playoff picture.

And in our feature segment: a deep-dive biography of Patty Moise, one of NASCAR’s most overlooked trailblazers. From setting speed records at Talladega to running her own team in the Busch Series, Patty carved her place in motorsport history with sheer talent and grit. We explore her 133-race NASCAR career, her historic pole position, and the lasting legacy she left for women in racing.

Whether you’re here for the latest race recaps or stories that shaped the sport—this episode delivers the full field.
