IndyCars are testing, rumors are flying and seats are swapping. Our resident open wheeler Conor Daly is back on Speed Street this week to join co-host Chase Holden in catching up on all the off season madness. The news broke Tuesday morning that Rinus VeeKay will be signing on with Juncos Hollinger Racing for the 2026 season, making Conor’s path back to the full-time grid a bit murkier. Conor gives listeners some insight to his perspective on the matter and what opportunities may still be open in the paddock. The guys also take a look at the test results from Mid-Ohio and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course, which saw IndyNXT stand-out Dennis Hauger top the speed charts and former Formula One pilot Mick Schumacher try his hand at an IndyCar for the first time. The fast driver of the week Dennis Hauger joins the show to give his first impressions of an IndyCar after making his test debut with Dale Coyne Racing. After running up the ladder as part of the Red Bull Racing development team in Europe, Hauger came to the United States last year to take part of the IndyNXT Series with Andretti Global. He turned heads with dominant results and will find himself on the IndyCar grid for the 2026 season, with DCR as part of their new technical alliance with Andretti. Dennis fills listeners in on what he’s observed so far from the partnership and what he’s looking forward to in the weeks to come. The guys also chat about Dennis’ first impressions of oval racing and what he anticipates from his Indianapolis 500 debut next year.
