This week on Historic Hot Laps, we’re firing on all cylinders — from the roar of Formula 1 at COTA to the dirt-flinging chaos of sprint cars and the biggest driver shake-ups in NASCAR!

First, we kick things off with an adrenaline-packed recap of the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix — high drama, high strategy, and high stakes in Texas. Then, we dive into a triple-header at Talladega, break down the GT World Cup 8 Hours at Indy, and go full send with recaps from the High Limit Sprint Car Series, USAC National Sprints, and World of Outlaws weekends.

The news lane is just as hot — Apple TV’s blockbuster F1 broadcasting deal, Brenden “Butterbean” Queen joining Kaulig Racing, and in NASCAR’s silly-season bombshell, Daniel Suárez takes over the No. 7 Spire Motorsports ride from Justin Haley — we break down what it means for both drivers.

We wrap it all up with a history profile on one of the greatest Formula 1 drivers of his generation. A driver that experienced incredible heartbreak in his home race. 2008 Champion runner up Felipe Massa.

Whether you’re a dirt-track diehard, Formula 1 fanatic, or stock-car loyalist, this episode has something that’ll make your pulse spike.

Hit play, turn it up, and let’s relive a weekend where every corner had a story.
