00:00:33.445 --> 00:00:36.525
I, you know, I assume you just regularly listen to Off Track
17
00:00:36.525 --> 00:00:37.765
with in Generosity. Oh,
18
00:00:37.765 --> 00:00:38.765
Yes.
19
00:00:38.765 --> 00:00:40.045
I wake up every day longing for a new episode.
20
00:00:40.145 --> 00:00:41.525
Yes. He would be
21
00:00:41.525 --> 00:00:44.125
The only one of the three of us that does Correct,
22
00:00:44.125 --> 00:00:45.125
Correct.
23
00:00:45.125 --> 00:00:47.205
Or any fan or any, any listener whatsoever.
24
00:00:47.745 --> 00:00:48.965
Uh, before we started, I,
25
00:00:49.085 --> 00:00:51.245
I was just commenting on your helmet collection behind you,
26
00:00:51.265 --> 00:00:52.325
and I said, I really like the one
27
00:00:52.325 --> 00:00:54.005
that's directly behind your head.
28
00:00:54.275 --> 00:00:55.565
Yeah. That one there. Yes.
29
00:00:56.435 --> 00:00:58.245
Yeah.
And you said that my national helmet
30
00:00:58.245 --> 00:00:59.405
said was, yeah, your national helmet.
31
00:00:59.445 --> 00:01:02.645
I love that. Prize possession. I'm my helmet
32
00:01:02.655 --> 00:01:04.245
Short, but I put the brackets up,
33
00:01:04.245 --> 00:01:05.445
so I might as well put that on.
34
00:01:05.625 --> 00:01:07.445
You gotta put something up there. Yes.
35
00:01:07.545 --> 00:01:09.125
Is that, like, is that not the one
36
00:01:09.125 --> 00:01:11.405
that you wore when you did your little spin?
37
00:01:11.665 --> 00:01:14.045
Did you, did you wear a cowboy hat when you did your famous
38
00:01:14.395 --> 00:01:16.565
spin intro at the Indy 500?
39
00:01:16.945 --> 00:01:18.885
Not at the 500, but I did it a few times
40
00:01:19.105 --> 00:01:20.405
in Nashville, Texas.
41
00:01:21.085 --> 00:01:22.405
I actually bought it in Nashville.
42
00:01:23.225 --> 00:01:24.405
Uh, it's real Stetson,
43
00:01:25.845 --> 00:01:28.225
but, uh, I only found out when my card
44
00:01:28.225 --> 00:01:29.745
was in the reader that it was real. So
45
00:01:30.695 --> 00:01:32.105
From the cost then I take it?
46
00:01:32.805 --> 00:01:34.625
Yes, it was a bit too expensive. Is James
47
00:01:34.625 --> 00:01:35.705
Frozen up a little bit?
48
00:01:36.565 --> 00:01:38.985
Yes, he might be shook. All
Right. You're back, James.
49
00:01:39.375 --> 00:01:40.825
Alright. You look better this
50
00:01:40.825 --> 00:01:41.825
time.
,
51
00:01:44.445 --> 00:01:46.345
I'm gonna take that as a compliment. Yes. Um,
52
00:01:46.655 --> 00:01:47.825
Well, quality wise,
53
00:01:48.135 --> 00:01:50.585
Yeah, that's Oh, oh, so not, I don't physically.
54
00:01:50.585 --> 00:01:52.145
Okay. No. Yeah, no, yeah, I knew,
55
00:01:52.425 --> 00:01:53.745
I knew such meant, knew touch meant.
56
00:01:53.895 --> 00:01:55.225
Yeah, it's fine. It's fine.
57
00:01:57.045 --> 00:01:59.065
uh, well, yeah, sorry for that little interruption,
58
00:01:59.605 --> 00:02:01.225
but s obviously, you know,
59
00:02:01.445 --> 00:02:05.105
you're coming off an incredible weekend in Toronto.
60
00:02:05.485 --> 00:02:07.345
I'm still up in Canada. I can see you're back home.
61
00:02:07.765 --> 00:02:09.345
Jim didn't bother making it out for the trip,
62
00:02:09.805 --> 00:02:12.865
but just, just talk to me man about the feelings
63
00:02:13.045 --> 00:02:16.185
of getting your first podium of the year, first podium
64
00:02:16.185 --> 00:02:18.345
with Dale Coin Racing last week in Toronto.
65
00:02:18.375 --> 00:02:21.545
Yeah, it was awesome. It was, it was just, uh, it,
66
00:02:21.565 --> 00:02:22.625
it was waiting to happen.
67
00:02:22.925 --> 00:02:26.385
Uh, we had all these races back to back coming, you know,
68
00:02:26.385 --> 00:02:28.065
being a hard charger coming from the back
69
00:02:28.085 --> 00:02:30.585
and really moving forward on strategy into the top 10.
70
00:02:31.205 --> 00:02:33.385
But we never really started up front, so
71
00:02:33.815 --> 00:02:34.945
that was gonna be my focus.
72
00:02:35.525 --> 00:02:39.035
We just need to build a car that's gonna be, you know,
73
00:02:39.035 --> 00:02:40.235
good enough from the get go
74
00:02:40.655 --> 00:02:42.515
and, you know, something we can roll off quick
75
00:02:42.575 --> 00:02:43.755
and, and qualify well with.
76
00:02:43.755 --> 00:02:45.475
So we qualified ninth. Pretty good. Good.
77
00:02:45.775 --> 00:02:48.115
Way better than, you know, the best of 18
78
00:02:48.115 --> 00:02:49.195
to had in the last five.
79
00:02:49.375 --> 00:02:53.195
So, uh, then going to, uh, coming into the race,
80
00:02:53.335 --> 00:02:54.995
we just maximized strategy
81
00:02:55.215 --> 00:02:59.445
and uh, we got it right once again, which, uh, you know,
82
00:02:59.685 --> 00:03:01.285
Del Coin Racing is known, known for.
83
00:03:01.785 --> 00:03:05.245
And, um, yeah, I mean, this is my first podium in 60 races,
84
00:03:05.385 --> 00:03:06.675
so Wow.
85
00:03:06.675 --> 00:03:08.515
Pretty big. It feels, feels good
86
00:03:08.515 --> 00:03:09.675
to be back on on the podium.
87
00:03:10.265 --> 00:03:12.435
Yeah, no doubt. So, I mean, I kind
88
00:03:12.435 --> 00:03:14.075
of wanna talk about a couple of things you touched on there.
89
00:03:14.335 --> 00:03:17.795
Um, you know, you've had this incredible run of,
90
00:03:17.815 --> 00:03:19.995
of top 10 finishes this year,
91
00:03:20.935 --> 00:03:23.515
and normally, as you kind of alluded to,
92
00:03:23.665 --> 00:03:27.395
they've been coming from further back starting positions
93
00:03:27.465 --> 00:03:29.035
than you'd like, certainly starting positions
94
00:03:29.035 --> 00:03:30.035
outside the top 10.
95
00:03:30.735 --> 00:03:33.515
So when you find yourself starting inside the top 10,
96
00:03:33.515 --> 00:03:35.355
you've got this great qualifying position in ninth,
97
00:03:35.355 --> 00:03:37.475
like you said, is it,
98
00:03:37.575 --> 00:03:40.715
are you more worried about maintaining that position?
99
00:03:41.135 --> 00:03:43.795
Or are you thinking, Hey, if I can move up from
100
00:03:44.595 --> 00:03:47.235
20th into the top 10 now that I'm starting in the top 10,
101
00:03:47.675 --> 00:03:50.315
I mean, top five is a realistic goal? Um,
102
00:03:50.945 --> 00:03:52.875
Both, I would say yes.
103
00:03:53.415 --> 00:03:56.515
Um, if you look at the, our stats,
104
00:03:56.515 --> 00:04:01.335
we should be moving forward, but also it's, it's, you know,
105
00:04:01.335 --> 00:04:02.895
you're, you're starting in the back kind
106
00:04:02.895 --> 00:04:04.015
of no pressure at all
107
00:04:04.015 --> 00:04:07.415
before the raise, kind of, well, whatever happens, happens,
108
00:04:07.465 --> 00:04:09.295
we'll, we'll, we'll we'll see, we'll see out there,
109
00:04:09.715 --> 00:04:11.615
and now you're starting in nine
110
00:04:11.615 --> 00:04:13.855
and see, just have a bit more pressure
111
00:04:13.855 --> 00:04:15.375
and you, you gotta move forward.
112
00:04:15.595 --> 00:04:18.855
So, um, I knew we were gonna be on that kind
113
00:04:18.855 --> 00:04:20.935
of weird strategy to start
114
00:04:20.935 --> 00:04:22.375
with going along on the alternates.
115
00:04:22.915 --> 00:04:24.895
Uh, but I had a lot of faith in it.
116
00:04:24.975 --> 00:04:26.615
I, I knew exactly what we needed to do
117
00:04:26.635 --> 00:04:27.895
to make that, make that work.
118
00:04:28.555 --> 00:04:31.255
So, uh, even though we were struggling in the beginning,
119
00:04:31.325 --> 00:04:33.735
keeping them under underneath, you know,
120
00:04:33.735 --> 00:04:35.495
we had one less stop to go at the end.
121
00:04:35.955 --> 00:04:38.655
So when you, when you talk about, uh, the kind
122
00:04:38.655 --> 00:04:39.855
of strategy play,
123
00:04:39.855 --> 00:04:41.975
because this was a, this was very much a,
124
00:04:42.095 --> 00:04:43.135
a strategy race, right?
125
00:04:43.215 --> 00:04:46.335
I mean, there were a few different times when the field
126
00:04:46.465 --> 00:04:49.935
split under caution kind of Road America esque in
127
00:04:49.935 --> 00:04:53.055
that sense, Dale Coin racing and,
128
00:04:53.055 --> 00:04:55.975
and Dale as a strategist in particular, he is known
129
00:04:56.035 --> 00:04:57.815
for being able to roll the dice and,
130
00:04:57.815 --> 00:04:59.375
and kind of read the strategy Well,
131
00:05:00.275 --> 00:05:03.335
how much were you involved in those decisions
132
00:05:03.335 --> 00:05:05.815
that were being made when, I mean, obviously you were,
133
00:05:05.875 --> 00:05:08.375
you were involved in the very first decision, which was
134
00:05:08.375 --> 00:05:09.375
to start on the softs
135
00:05:09.475 --> 00:05:11.135
and try to do it a little bit differently.
136
00:05:11.595 --> 00:05:12.975
But then as the race evolved
137
00:05:13.315 --> 00:05:15.175
and we saw some of the cautions come out
138
00:05:15.475 --> 00:05:18.815
and we saw some of the wrong decisions made
139
00:05:18.835 --> 00:05:22.175
by some big teams, what's that process like between you
140
00:05:22.175 --> 00:05:23.575
and Dale, you know, on the racetrack
141
00:05:23.575 --> 00:05:25.255
making those strategy calls? Well,
142
00:05:25.295 --> 00:05:27.015
I have to say, actually this was exactly
143
00:05:27.155 --> 00:05:28.375
our plan, what we did.
144
00:05:28.915 --> 00:05:30.815
So before the race, kind of
145
00:05:30.815 --> 00:05:33.335
after to warm up, which wasn't really a warm up
146
00:05:33.335 --> 00:05:37.135
with a little bit of driving we did in the wet, um, we,
147
00:05:39.385 --> 00:05:41.675
yeah, we basically made the plan to go long
148
00:05:42.055 --> 00:05:44.315
and, you know, just kind of stick with it.
149
00:05:44.375 --> 00:05:45.555
So that's exactly what we did.
150
00:05:45.555 --> 00:05:48.255
And, um, yeah,
151
00:05:48.455 --> 00:05:50.575
I think it did, it worked for us.
152
00:05:50.675 --> 00:05:52.455
We didn't have to, to do any crazy
153
00:05:52.455 --> 00:05:53.895
things out there on track.
154
00:05:54.075 --> 00:05:55.895
We, we didn't have to make any crazy calls,
155
00:05:56.475 --> 00:05:59.485
but that's, I mean, that's how, how it went.
156
00:05:59.745 --> 00:06:01.405
Uh, we just kind of went with the plan.
157
00:06:01.825 --> 00:06:02.885
You stuck again, huh?
158
00:06:03.955 --> 00:06:05.865
Sorry man. We're we're getting you just fine.
159
00:06:05.965 --> 00:06:06.985
I'm up in the middle of nowhere,
160
00:06:07.165 --> 00:06:08.705
so my internet's terrible. I apologize.
161
00:06:08.925 --> 00:06:11.385
No, it's fine.
This would be better if I had any
162
00:06:11.385 --> 00:06:13.305
insightful questions and could pick up the slides ,
163
00:06:13.625 --> 00:06:15.865
but no, it was just awkward silence for
164
00:06:15.865 --> 00:06:16.865
me.
,
165
00:06:16.865 --> 00:06:17.985
oh, the war. See Reina,
166
00:06:17.985 --> 00:06:19.985
this is why we're not even sure why we hire this guy,
167
00:06:20.165 --> 00:06:22.145
why we keep him around, but it's fine. Um,
168
00:06:22.165 --> 00:06:23.185
We all have these people our
169
00:06:23.185 --> 00:06:24.825
Lives, we have these people, we have these people. ,
170
00:06:25.225 --> 00:06:30.145
um, Sonas tell me, I mean, coming into this year,
171
00:06:30.485 --> 00:06:33.665
you know, you and I have talked obviously outside
172
00:06:33.665 --> 00:06:34.785
of this show,
173
00:06:35.045 --> 00:06:37.945
but about how the,
174
00:06:38.125 --> 00:06:40.825
the change from ECR came as a surprise.
175
00:06:42.105 --> 00:06:43.945
Dale jumped in pretty quick, you know,
176
00:06:43.945 --> 00:06:46.545
even though the deal wasn't announced until fairly close
177
00:06:46.565 --> 00:06:48.305
to the season, you guys did
178
00:06:48.305 --> 00:06:50.185
that test together in October at the Speedway.
179
00:06:50.645 --> 00:06:53.585
You were pretty confident, you know, from an early phase
180
00:06:53.585 --> 00:06:55.225
that it was going in the right direction.
181
00:06:55.285 --> 00:06:57.265
So you probably knew a bit more than the rest of us.
182
00:06:57.925 --> 00:06:59.385
But when you came into this year,
183
00:07:00.095 --> 00:07:03.425
what were realistic expectations for you in terms of,
184
00:07:04.045 --> 00:07:07.345
you know, how many top tens you guys thought you could get
185
00:07:07.725 --> 00:07:10.225
and, you know, what sort of position the championship you
186
00:07:10.225 --> 00:07:11.345
thought you'd be running it?
187
00:07:11.625 --> 00:07:14.665
I think a realistic goal for me was P 16
188
00:07:14.845 --> 00:07:16.425
or top 16 in the championship.
189
00:07:16.965 --> 00:07:20.085
Um, and I would say, you know, like three,
190
00:07:20.195 --> 00:07:23.445
four top tens would would've been, you know, pretty,
191
00:07:23.445 --> 00:07:26.165
pretty big after, after last season for them
192
00:07:26.315 --> 00:07:27.845
with no finished benefit, 13th.
193
00:07:27.845 --> 00:07:30.765
So that was, for me, a realistic goal.
194
00:07:31.185 --> 00:07:33.445
But, you know, you never really know what to expect.
195
00:07:33.605 --> 00:07:36.205
I, I hated setting goals to the beginning of the season
196
00:07:36.205 --> 00:07:37.605
because I didn't know how we,
197
00:07:37.705 --> 00:07:40.005
how we were gonna be every weekend. So
198
00:07:40.005 --> 00:07:42.285
With obviously having a little bit of a momentum now
199
00:07:42.285 --> 00:07:45.365
behind you guys, I mean, have the conversations changed?
200
00:07:45.545 --> 00:07:47.645
Are, are you starting to expect more outta the weekend?
201
00:07:47.645 --> 00:07:48.725
Does that come with more
202
00:07:48.725 --> 00:07:50.125
disappointment if you don't get that?
203
00:07:50.405 --> 00:07:53.565
I mean, we, we've been getting top tens most of the time.
204
00:07:53.865 --> 00:07:56.845
Uh, we've, we've been doing so well. Uh, yes.
205
00:07:56.965 --> 00:07:58.525
I mean, IO was a struggle.
206
00:07:58.825 --> 00:08:01.085
We, we didn't have any base in qualifying,
207
00:08:01.425 --> 00:08:03.925
but still finishing 12 to 16th was pretty big.
208
00:08:03.945 --> 00:08:07.165
So as long as we keep maximizing what we have, you know,
209
00:08:07.165 --> 00:08:08.285
strategies on our side,
210
00:08:08.435 --> 00:08:09.845
it's not gonna be like that every race.
211
00:08:09.985 --> 00:08:14.685
So if, if we get strategy to not go our way
212
00:08:14.705 --> 00:08:16.445
and we still maximize, that's all we could do.
213
00:08:16.985 --> 00:08:19.845
So, you know, I, I think we're at that this point
214
00:08:19.845 --> 00:08:24.565
of the season where we know what we need
215
00:08:24.565 --> 00:08:26.245
to show up with every race in, in,
216
00:08:26.265 --> 00:08:28.205
in the every race coming up.
217
00:08:28.305 --> 00:08:30.685
So we, we've got that experience at this point.
218
00:08:30.945 --> 00:08:35.245
So, Rena, with the success that you've had, uh, with Dale,
219
00:08:36.145 --> 00:08:37.885
and you know, obviously it was a,
220
00:08:37.885 --> 00:08:40.165
it was a tough last kinda year at ECR,
221
00:08:40.185 --> 00:08:42.165
but it's just been such a revelation here and,
222
00:08:42.165 --> 00:08:44.205
and you've talked about the sort of family atmosphere.
223
00:08:44.275 --> 00:08:45.925
It's, it's the people around you
224
00:08:45.925 --> 00:08:47.005
that are really helping you kind
225
00:08:47.005 --> 00:08:48.165
of get the best outta yourself.
226
00:08:48.175 --> 00:08:50.925
Again, you're putting up these incredible results.
227
00:08:52.205 --> 00:08:53.525
I don't know, are you allowed to tell us,
228
00:08:53.625 --> 00:08:56.965
are you on a multi-year deal with Dale Coin Racing?
229
00:08:57.345 --> 00:09:00.805
Or was it a, is it a one and, and then see what happens?
230
00:09:01.425 --> 00:09:03.565
Uh, yeah, it's just a one year deal for now
231
00:09:03.715 --> 00:09:05.645
because it all came together so late.
232
00:09:05.745 --> 00:09:07.285
You know, both of us.
233
00:09:07.435 --> 00:09:10.205
Yeah, we, we, I just took what, what Dale gave me ,
234
00:09:10.965 --> 00:09:13.125
Uh, point
As you do,
235
00:09:13.465 --> 00:09:15.685
As you do,
I needed to be IndyCar. We've,
236
00:09:15.685 --> 00:09:18.085
We've heard some things about, uh, about the,
237
00:09:18.105 --> 00:09:20.165
the agreements that Dale can coined driver
238
00:09:20.195 --> 00:09:21.365
skidder sometimes don't
239
00:09:21.365 --> 00:09:22.365
get ,
,
240
00:09:24.185 --> 00:09:26.645
Hey, I'm driving, I'm driving happy
241
00:09:26.645 --> 00:09:28.765
To be in the car, happy to be in the car and kicking ass.
242
00:09:29.225 --> 00:09:32.045
My stock has gone crazy since Dale hired me.
243
00:09:32.145 --> 00:09:33.965
So , he made a good investment.
244
00:09:34.545 --> 00:09:37.485
So that, that leads me to my next question is,
245
00:09:37.755 --> 00:09:40.885
with only a handful of races left in the season, you know,
246
00:09:40.885 --> 00:09:43.565
silly season starts a little bit earlier these days than it
247
00:09:43.565 --> 00:09:44.925
did five, 10 years ago.
248
00:09:45.865 --> 00:09:48.645
Has this led to conversations with other teams?
249
00:09:48.985 --> 00:09:52.485
Do you have any idea what 2026 looks like for you?
250
00:09:53.025 --> 00:09:55.685
Is it staying with Dale? Are you exploring other options?
251
00:09:55.715 --> 00:09:56.805
Kind of where, where are we at?
252
00:09:56.995 --> 00:10:00.085
He's got power seat, right?
? Well,
253
00:10:00.575 --> 00:10:01.885
We're not even sure what he,
254
00:10:01.915 --> 00:10:03.325
he's not even sure about his future.
255
00:10:03.905 --> 00:10:07.405
But I mean, for, for me, yes, I'm, I'm exploring every,
256
00:10:07.775 --> 00:10:10.925
every option I see around me right now, just, just seeing
257
00:10:10.925 --> 00:10:14.085
what is best for my, for my career in the long term.
258
00:10:14.745 --> 00:10:16.605
Um, there is some more chatter around me.
259
00:10:16.665 --> 00:10:18.725
Yes, there's some, you know, some,
260
00:10:18.725 --> 00:10:20.205
some pulling on my shirt going on,
261
00:10:20.305 --> 00:10:23.375
but I, things are still moving
262
00:10:23.375 --> 00:10:26.375
and it's still really dependent on other,
263
00:10:26.715 --> 00:10:28.295
on other pieces of the puzzle.
264
00:10:28.515 --> 00:10:32.335
So, um, best thing I can do right now is just be
265
00:10:32.335 --> 00:10:33.575
successful, keep doing this.
266
00:10:34.245 --> 00:10:36.735
It's gonna be good for me, good for Dale, good
267
00:10:36.795 --> 00:10:39.295
for whoever profits from it.
268
00:10:39.435 --> 00:10:42.415
So that's, that's basically what I'm, what my goal is
269
00:10:42.415 --> 00:10:44.215
for now is to just keep doing what we're doing
270
00:10:44.315 --> 00:10:46.895
and, uh, hopefully get a top 10 in the championship.
271
00:10:50.165 --> 00:10:51.215
Correct me if I'm wrong,
272
00:10:51.485 --> 00:10:53.655
Mike Cannon's engineering you at the moment, right?
273
00:10:53.875 --> 00:10:57.535
Yes, he is. And so, you know, Mike Cannon comes with,
274
00:10:58.575 --> 00:11:00.295
I don't even know how many years, decades
275
00:11:00.835 --> 00:11:02.255
of IndyCar experience
276
00:11:02.395 --> 00:11:04.815
and IndyCar success, not just experience.
277
00:11:04.935 --> 00:11:06.375
I mean, he's been winning at the highest
278
00:11:06.375 --> 00:11:07.495
level for a long time.
279
00:11:08.085 --> 00:11:11.175
Just kind of talk to me what it's like, you know, getting
280
00:11:11.235 --> 00:11:13.895
to work with somebody that's got that sort of track record
281
00:11:14.195 --> 00:11:17.615
and what has he kind of brought to your program, taught you
282
00:11:17.635 --> 00:11:19.855
as a driver, you know, what has his,
283
00:11:20.155 --> 00:11:21.415
how has his experience kind
284
00:11:21.415 --> 00:11:23.655
of helped you perform in this new environment? Yeah,
285
00:11:23.655 --> 00:11:26.215
So he, he brings a lot of consistency to our team.
286
00:11:26.695 --> 00:11:27.695
I think that's the biggest thing.
287
00:11:27.695 --> 00:11:28.935
You know, we, we had some success
288
00:11:28.935 --> 00:11:31.975
before he joined, uh, after the 500.
289
00:11:32.965 --> 00:11:35.545
But yeah, he just brings us consistency, like showing up
290
00:11:35.615 --> 00:11:37.145
with top 10 pace every weekend.
291
00:11:37.805 --> 00:11:41.025
And I think what he really brought to me as
292
00:11:41.295 --> 00:11:43.185
what he is teaching me is, you know, he worked
293
00:11:43.185 --> 00:11:46.025
with Scott Dixon, the, the Master of Fuel Saving.
294
00:11:46.725 --> 00:11:50.705
So my green, green mileage was great, it was fine.
295
00:11:51.085 --> 00:11:53.145
It was the yellow mileage, how to save fuel
296
00:11:53.315 --> 00:11:56.205
with the Honda engine under Pace car laps.
297
00:11:56.785 --> 00:11:58.525
Is that, that's where you make a big difference.
298
00:11:58.585 --> 00:12:00.685
So, uh, he's, he's been pushing me there.
299
00:12:00.755 --> 00:12:03.685
Like the first real race I did with him was Gateway.
300
00:12:04.425 --> 00:12:06.005
He is like, I'll give you this number for yellow.
301
00:12:06.185 --> 00:12:08.285
I'm like, what? How's that possible?
302
00:12:08.345 --> 00:12:09.885
So, but at the end of the race I made it.
303
00:12:09.905 --> 00:12:11.805
So it's just things like that,
304
00:12:11.805 --> 00:12:15.125
that open up strategy make things easier for, for, for Dale
305
00:12:15.265 --> 00:12:16.885
and, and the other guys Underst stand
306
00:12:16.945 --> 00:12:19.045
and, um, he also has,
307
00:12:19.115 --> 00:12:21.125
just has a good leadership role within the team,
308
00:12:21.125 --> 00:12:22.365
you know, to the tire guy.
309
00:12:22.795 --> 00:12:24.445
Just little things, you know,
310
00:12:24.445 --> 00:12:26.725
little management roles on the timing stand where he just,
311
00:12:26.865 --> 00:12:28.605
you know, takes that very well. Wait
312
00:12:28.645 --> 00:12:30.445
A year you're what now?
313
00:12:30.445 --> 00:12:33.485
24, 25, 24?
314
00:12:33.545 --> 00:12:36.645
Yes.
24. And you're in your sixth
315
00:12:36.645 --> 00:12:38.165
season of IndyCar. I'm
316
00:12:38.165 --> 00:12:39.565
Very, I just wanna
Say I'm very against people
317
00:12:39.565 --> 00:12:41.765
that much younger than me doing this. Well, yeah,
318
00:12:41.935 --> 00:12:42.645
Sorry. Yeah,
319
00:12:42.985 --> 00:12:43.985
I'm sorry.
320
00:12:43.985 --> 00:12:45.645
And, and Tim, I I maybe missed the, the second part.
321
00:12:45.675 --> 00:12:49.285
He's in his sixth season. No, I caught at the age of 20.
322
00:12:49.595 --> 00:12:51.365
Love it. Right? I just didn't like it. Right.
323
00:12:51.525 --> 00:12:54.685
I mean, is it weird person for you arenas
324
00:12:54.685 --> 00:12:58.045
to think about the fact that you are 24 years old
325
00:12:58.985 --> 00:13:02.765
and you already have this much experience in IndyCar racing.
326
00:13:02.885 --> 00:13:05.565
I mean, 18 year olds don't get opportunities like
327
00:13:05.565 --> 00:13:07.125
that and make it last.
328
00:13:07.485 --> 00:13:09.405
I mean, the few times I've seen it in my career
329
00:13:09.505 --> 00:13:12.005
before you, those drivers didn't end up having
330
00:13:12.005 --> 00:13:13.125
long careers in IndyCar.
331
00:13:13.325 --> 00:13:16.285
I mean, you are a bit of a phenom in that sense.
332
00:13:16.425 --> 00:13:18.325
Do you, do you appreciate that at this point?
333
00:13:18.545 --> 00:13:19.805
Oh, I really do. I really do.
334
00:13:19.865 --> 00:13:22.365
And, uh, I mean, for me, my goal is to be in IndyCar
335
00:13:22.365 --> 00:13:24.245
for the next 20 some odd years
336
00:13:24.345 --> 00:13:26.685
and turn into, you know, one of the big, some
337
00:13:26.685 --> 00:13:27.885
of the big guys you're
338
00:13:27.885 --> 00:13:29.125
Going after Dixon's record, aren't you?
339
00:13:29.125 --> 00:13:30.485
Oh yes. You're going after his star record.
340
00:13:31.185 --> 00:13:32.205
Oh, yes. Oh.
341
00:13:32.205 --> 00:13:34.485
And hopefully his win record too, but there you go.
342
00:13:34.585 --> 00:13:37.205
Um,
So yeah, for me, I mean,
343
00:13:38.245 --> 00:13:40.165
I was telling my manager Adrian Sussman,
344
00:13:40.165 --> 00:13:42.845
that I'm worried about getting too old at this point, .
345
00:13:45.105 --> 00:13:47.005
So, and I said, yeah, I want you to know something.
346
00:13:47.225 --> 00:13:48.445
Do something before it gets too old.
347
00:13:48.475 --> 00:13:50.485
He's like, old, you're 24. So I,
348
00:13:50.685 --> 00:13:52.165
I want you to appreciate something here.
349
00:13:53.085 --> 00:13:56.085
I got into IndyCar at 24,
350
00:13:56.545 --> 00:14:00.245
my rookie season was 24. So like, well that's
351
00:14:00.405 --> 00:14:01.405
'cause they had just invented
352
00:14:01.585 --> 00:14:03.045
the internal combustion engine.
353
00:14:03.345 --> 00:14:05.285
God, I hate you. So I'm not Hunter Ray. Calm down .
354
00:14:06.825 --> 00:14:08.645
But I mean, no, dude, it's, it's incredible
355
00:14:08.795 --> 00:14:11.365
that you've had not only this number of races,
356
00:14:11.385 --> 00:14:13.445
but the success that you've had at this age.
357
00:14:13.505 --> 00:14:15.325
And it's, I I, I'm, I was curious,
358
00:14:15.385 --> 00:14:17.325
and I'm interested to hear you say the fact that you are
359
00:14:18.315 --> 00:14:21.405
gunning for those records, you wanna be the guy
360
00:14:21.405 --> 00:14:23.245
that's racing here till you 45
361
00:14:23.385 --> 00:14:26.885
and has maybe the first guy to reach 500 IndyCar starts.
362
00:14:26.915 --> 00:14:29.085
Like is that ki is that the kind of thing you think about?
363
00:14:29.305 --> 00:14:33.005
Oh, yes, yes. And, uh, I just wanna be, I want my name
364
00:14:33.005 --> 00:14:34.645
to be synonymous with IndyCar.
365
00:14:35.185 --> 00:14:36.725
So, you know, when you think of IndyCar,
366
00:14:37.615 --> 00:14:39.445
Scott Dixon, it's willpower.
367
00:14:39.835 --> 00:14:42.125
It's, well, a few years ago, Ryan Hunter Ray,
368
00:14:42.795 --> 00:14:46.245
it's people like that, you know, that it is just,
369
00:14:46.315 --> 00:14:49.045
it's my goal to be, to be one of the legends in the sport.
370
00:14:49.045 --> 00:14:50.245
Like, like, like they are.
371
00:14:51.105 --> 00:14:55.035
And, um, yeah, I mean just, just
372
00:14:56.225 --> 00:14:59.395
IndyCar itself, like I have no, no,
373
00:15:00.865 --> 00:15:03.325
no interest in driving anything else than IndyCar.
374
00:15:03.325 --> 00:15:05.485
IndyCar is just the, the thing I live for at the moment.
375
00:15:05.785 --> 00:15:08.205
So tell me about how this sort of came about,
376
00:15:08.205 --> 00:15:10.805
because obviously, you know, growing up in the Netherlands,
377
00:15:11.315 --> 00:15:14.285
everybody in Europe's original dream is def one,
378
00:15:14.345 --> 00:15:15.885
but you always stood out to me
379
00:15:15.885 --> 00:15:17.285
because you were one of the guys
380
00:15:17.435 --> 00:15:19.845
that made the transition in North American
381
00:15:19.845 --> 00:15:21.205
racing very early.
382
00:15:21.825 --> 00:15:24.205
You came over, you know, on the road to Indy,
383
00:15:24.585 --> 00:15:27.725
you won championships, you kind of excelled through that,
384
00:15:27.835 --> 00:15:30.085
that c or that program.
385
00:15:31.075 --> 00:15:33.805
What was it for you that was so appealing to IndyCar
386
00:15:33.805 --> 00:15:36.645
that made you from such a young age want to come over,
387
00:15:36.825 --> 00:15:39.885
you know, stateside and, and try that on front for size?
388
00:15:39.965 --> 00:15:41.405
I think the first thing for me, the, the,
389
00:15:41.405 --> 00:15:44.485
the biggest thing when I first came over is the, at
390
00:15:44.485 --> 00:15:46.445
that point it was the master road to Indy,
391
00:15:46.445 --> 00:15:48.765
but just the latter system towards IndyCar
392
00:15:49.055 --> 00:15:52.045
where success actually gets you to the top.
393
00:15:52.615 --> 00:15:54.685
Where in Europe, you know, there's numerous
394
00:15:54.745 --> 00:15:57.085
of Formula three, formula two drivers
395
00:15:57.085 --> 00:15:58.125
that win championships,
396
00:15:58.905 --> 00:16:03.005
but just don't get the shots in, in F1.
397
00:16:03.185 --> 00:16:07.965
So it's just, uh, you know, for us, we didn't wanna be one
398
00:16:07.965 --> 00:16:11.885
of those guys where yeah, you're, you're winning stuff in,
399
00:16:11.945 --> 00:16:14.085
you know, on the way to F1, but then you get stuck
400
00:16:14.085 --> 00:16:15.365
because politically
401
00:16:15.465 --> 00:16:18.285
and financially it just can't,
402
00:16:18.495 --> 00:16:19.645
there there's no place for you.
403
00:16:20.105 --> 00:16:22.285
So for me, NICAR was the spot
404
00:16:22.345 --> 00:16:25.765
and I just, you know, when I first started racing in the US
405
00:16:25.785 --> 00:16:28.125
and, and, and the road to India was just, yeah, I mean, you,
406
00:16:28.125 --> 00:16:29.445
you race in the same weekends,
407
00:16:29.445 --> 00:16:30.725
you fall in love with it right away.
408
00:16:30.825 --> 00:16:32.045
So that, so that was really it.
409
00:16:32.245 --> 00:16:35.085
I mean, growing up was, was F1 what you watched
410
00:16:35.185 --> 00:16:37.765
and kind of what you originally aspired to, to get
411
00:16:37.765 --> 00:16:38.765
to when you were, you know,
412
00:16:38.765 --> 00:16:40.845
carting we say at, uh, a young age?
413
00:16:40.875 --> 00:16:44.285
Initially, yes. I would say when I was a little kid,
414
00:16:44.285 --> 00:16:46.125
you know, every Sunday races were on,
415
00:16:46.585 --> 00:16:48.885
and I mean, I rely on like,
416
00:16:48.945 --> 00:16:51.765
is not just a name in the Netherlands, you know, he's, he's,
417
00:16:51.765 --> 00:16:55.205
he's, he has a big identity, so I've always looked up
418
00:16:55.205 --> 00:16:56.325
to him, to IndyCar
419
00:16:56.785 --> 00:16:59.805
and you know, you just grow up with everything.
420
00:16:59.805 --> 00:17:00.925
You know, you're go-karting.
421
00:17:02.025 --> 00:17:04.565
If we're not practicing, we're watching F1, right?
422
00:17:04.565 --> 00:17:05.685
It's just on, on TVs.
423
00:17:06.145 --> 00:17:09.405
So that's kind of the, the, the local sport,
424
00:17:09.705 --> 00:17:10.765
the, the national sport.
425
00:17:10.825 --> 00:17:13.125
But then when you, when you look further is, you know,
426
00:17:13.515 --> 00:17:15.645
IndyCar is getting so much more popular right now
427
00:17:15.675 --> 00:17:17.445
also just because of me being in there. For sure,
428
00:17:17.945 --> 00:17:19.765
For sure. I get it. I believe
429
00:17:19.765 --> 00:17:20.765
It.
430
00:17:20.765 --> 00:17:21.485
That's why I started watching Finally ,
431
00:17:23.885 --> 00:17:26.085
I mean, in the Netherlands, I'm not making that much
432
00:17:26.085 --> 00:17:27.205
of a hit yet in the US .
433
00:17:28.185 --> 00:17:30.125
So we've got 17 million people.
434
00:17:30.425 --> 00:17:32.285
So we're, we're, we're getting here.
435
00:17:32.285 --> 00:17:33.885
Hey, I'm, I'm, I'm part Dutch.
436
00:17:33.955 --> 00:17:35.245
I'll, I'll, I'll claim some of that.
437
00:17:35.695 --> 00:17:37.125
Don't you speak some Dutch Tim?
438
00:17:38.465 --> 00:17:40.445
No, Hazel was trying to learn it
439
00:17:40.465 --> 00:17:43.045
and I, I, no offense, I don't know why like, we're,
440
00:17:43.045 --> 00:17:45.485
we're from a very big Dutch family, but I was just like,
441
00:17:45.545 --> 00:17:48.525
but like, when are you gonna use that in Los Angeles? ?
442
00:17:49.715 --> 00:17:50.715
Like,
443
00:17:51.075 --> 00:17:52.645
Well, she goes to the race lot.
444
00:17:52.645 --> 00:17:54.045
It could have been to communicate with Reus.
445
00:17:54.715 --> 00:17:56.765
Yeah, there you go. There you go. You can help her out.
446
00:17:56.815 --> 00:17:58.045
She's, uh, she'll, I'll get her
447
00:17:58.045 --> 00:18:00.245
to start her Duolingo again. Oh, yes.
448
00:18:00.815 --> 00:18:04.055
Those are weird sentences. That's
449
00:18:04.815 --> 00:18:07.415
Language has ever learned a language from Duolingo,
450
00:18:07.555 --> 00:18:10.535
Um, reus, you know, I've always admired the fact that,
451
00:18:10.755 --> 00:18:13.415
you know, family is obviously a really big part of your life
452
00:18:13.415 --> 00:18:14.495
and a big part of your career.
453
00:18:15.155 --> 00:18:16.775
You know, your parents, I think,
454
00:18:16.895 --> 00:18:19.735
I think I've seen them at every IndyCar race, you know, uh,
455
00:18:19.825 --> 00:18:22.415
maybe outside of COVID since you joined the series,
456
00:18:22.805 --> 00:18:24.895
your wife Carmen is there all the time as well.
457
00:18:25.515 --> 00:18:27.575
How important for you is it to kind of have that,
458
00:18:27.725 --> 00:18:30.535
that very close support system of your family
459
00:18:30.535 --> 00:18:32.895
with you seemingly all the time? Yeah,
460
00:18:32.895 --> 00:18:33.895
Yeah, it's just very important.
461
00:18:33.935 --> 00:18:38.385
I mean, especially, you know, uh, with my parents, they,
462
00:18:39.015 --> 00:18:40.505
they sacrificed a lot for me
463
00:18:40.505 --> 00:18:42.425
to get into a ncar, uh, just as a family.
464
00:18:42.445 --> 00:18:43.545
We did so did my sister.
465
00:18:44.005 --> 00:18:47.265
Uh, so for, for them to be at all the races, you know,
466
00:18:47.265 --> 00:18:49.945
being there in Toronto, being there for my first win,
467
00:18:50.095 --> 00:18:51.305
just all that support.
468
00:18:51.685 --> 00:18:54.305
Um, it's, it's very important to me
469
00:18:54.305 --> 00:18:56.745
because, you know, it, it, I I feel like that's my way to,
470
00:18:57.165 --> 00:19:00.345
uh, uh, like my, my way to repay them for,
471
00:19:00.405 --> 00:19:03.145
for everything I sacrificed, you know, success is just,
472
00:19:04.005 --> 00:19:06.225
you know, I feel like, like I'm, I'm,
473
00:19:06.225 --> 00:19:08.825
I'm doing the right thing there for them. Uh, and
474
00:19:08.965 --> 00:19:10.625
Why is it, is it hard for parents
475
00:19:10.625 --> 00:19:11.825
to have a kid that's into racing?
476
00:19:12.455 --> 00:19:13.825
I've never heard that. Terrible. I
477
00:19:13.825 --> 00:19:14.825
Would never do it.
.
478
00:19:15.005 --> 00:19:17.225
Oh my God, there's no chance. Absolutely.
479
00:19:17.335 --> 00:19:20.305
Like, I'm not having kids explicitly
480
00:19:20.305 --> 00:19:22.665
because I never want, I wouldn't want them
481
00:19:22.825 --> 00:19:24.065
to ever have an interest in racing.
482
00:19:24.125 --> 00:19:26.065
So I'm not even gonna have kids. I don't risk yet.
483
00:19:26.545 --> 00:19:29.625
I have, I have never met anyone in racing
484
00:19:29.965 --> 00:19:31.945
who says it's a good idea to get their kids into
485
00:19:31.945 --> 00:19:32.945
racing
.
486
00:19:33.015 --> 00:19:35.105
Yeah. And they still end up doing it too. Yeah.
487
00:19:35.335 --> 00:19:36.865
Dixon's kids in a car right now,
488
00:19:37.165 --> 00:19:39.345
all harder race kids love driving car.
489
00:19:39.345 --> 00:19:42.065
Like, I mean, they all say it, but they're all dumb
490
00:19:42.085 --> 00:19:43.705
and expose their kids to it and,
491
00:19:43.765 --> 00:19:45.305
and then they're gonna be, you know,
492
00:19:45.475 --> 00:19:46.745
wanna be drivers down the line.
493
00:19:46.745 --> 00:19:47.985
It's gonna be a whole thing. Yeah, true.
494
00:19:47.985 --> 00:19:49.145
I mean, worked out for
That's true.
495
00:19:49.145 --> 00:19:51.505
But then, you know, also my wife, this was her first podium
496
00:19:51.535 --> 00:19:53.625
that she was actually at in Toronto. Really?
497
00:19:54.005 --> 00:19:55.745
So
Yeah, that was pretty cool.
498
00:19:55.885 --> 00:19:59.185
So, uh oh, that's very cool. 360 races has been so long.
499
00:19:59.575 --> 00:20:02.745
Yeah. So, um, you know, it is, it is just awesome
500
00:20:02.765 --> 00:20:04.265
to be on there, have them around
501
00:20:04.485 --> 00:20:08.225
and, uh, yeah, it is, it, it is just like you said,
502
00:20:08.305 --> 00:20:10.505
a support system that really, you know, it, it,
503
00:20:10.505 --> 00:20:13.385
it ma makes me feel at home, even in the us. And
504
00:20:13.385 --> 00:20:15.745
Look, I mean, that support system is so crucial
505
00:20:16.095 --> 00:20:20.065
because a driver's career is up and down, right?
506
00:20:20.165 --> 00:20:21.945
You have good days, bad days,
507
00:20:22.005 --> 00:20:23.945
you have good years and bad years.
508
00:20:24.005 --> 00:20:25.625
And with what, you know, you went
509
00:20:25.625 --> 00:20:27.905
through in this off season, I bet having
510
00:20:27.905 --> 00:20:29.705
that support system there and
511
00:20:29.765 --> 00:20:32.345
and close to you was, was a huge boost
512
00:20:32.485 --> 00:20:35.505
and helped you kind of come back from that and,
513
00:20:35.605 --> 00:20:37.305
and find the success that you've had.
514
00:20:37.685 --> 00:20:40.805
So kind of on that same path,
515
00:20:42.575 --> 00:20:45.315
the success that you've had this year, like the podium,
516
00:20:45.345 --> 00:20:48.125
even aside, I mean, all the top tens, all the strong results
517
00:20:48.125 --> 00:20:50.325
that, that you've had, the super strong Sundays
518
00:20:50.325 --> 00:20:53.885
that you've had, how rewarding is it for you as a driver
519
00:20:54.145 --> 00:20:57.365
and how, you know, confidence inspiring?
520
00:20:57.505 --> 00:21:01.885
Is it for you coming off a year like 20, 24, you have
521
00:21:01.885 --> 00:21:03.365
what happens at the end of this season?
522
00:21:03.505 --> 00:21:04.565
You drop by the team
523
00:21:05.145 --> 00:21:07.845
and then to come back with the smallest team on the grid,
524
00:21:07.905 --> 00:21:09.925
the lowest funded team on the grid, all the things
525
00:21:09.925 --> 00:21:12.325
that people kind of associate with Dale Coin
526
00:21:13.065 --> 00:21:14.165
to come into this year
527
00:21:14.505 --> 00:21:17.125
and have hit the ground running, have all the results
528
00:21:17.125 --> 00:21:19.525
that you've had now, the podium to your name.
529
00:21:20.005 --> 00:21:22.085
I mean, how, how good does that feel?
530
00:21:22.145 --> 00:21:24.165
And kind of how important was it to you
531
00:21:24.625 --> 00:21:26.125
to really make a statement this year?
532
00:21:26.235 --> 00:21:28.045
Yeah, it was very important and it just feels,
533
00:21:28.305 --> 00:21:30.925
it feels super good, not just for me, but also for Dale.
534
00:21:30.975 --> 00:21:33.445
We're kind of in the same redemption kind of story.
535
00:21:33.985 --> 00:21:37.245
Um, different, you know, different ways we got there,
536
00:21:37.345 --> 00:21:39.165
but we, we both want the same thing.
537
00:21:39.185 --> 00:21:42.765
So, um, yeah, just the, the story makes,
538
00:21:42.975 --> 00:21:44.285
makes it just so much better.
539
00:21:44.355 --> 00:21:47.285
When I was the last guy to be signed, uh, right
540
00:21:47.285 --> 00:21:50.245
before the season now we've had seven top tens,
541
00:21:50.245 --> 00:21:53.765
which is my tide for best, with four races to go, really?
542
00:21:53.865 --> 00:21:56.565
And yeah, yeah, year best season you
543
00:21:56.565 --> 00:21:57.565
Had seven top tens.
544
00:21:58.085 --> 00:22:02.135
Yeah, so, so last year I had seven, which was my,
545
00:22:02.195 --> 00:22:03.815
my best in my incar career.
546
00:22:04.795 --> 00:22:05.895
And now we're at seven.
547
00:22:06.165 --> 00:22:08.775
Well, I hope we can get to 10 so that,
548
00:22:09.155 --> 00:22:10.575
you know, it is just so good.
549
00:22:10.575 --> 00:22:14.095
It feels so good. And, um, I mean, do coin racing too.
550
00:22:14.095 --> 00:22:15.895
They, they just, they make it all work
551
00:22:15.955 --> 00:22:18.775
and with the family too, you know, we suffer as a family
552
00:22:18.875 --> 00:22:22.175
and we, we, we celebrate succeed as a family.
553
00:22:22.355 --> 00:22:24.055
Family, yeah. Yeah, exactly.
554
00:22:24.515 --> 00:22:25.975
That's awesome. That's so cool.
555
00:22:25.975 --> 00:22:28.775
Well, hey man, uh, we were just so, so impressed
556
00:22:28.775 --> 00:22:30.015
with everything you've done all year,
557
00:22:30.035 --> 00:22:33.655
but especially that drive on Sunday in Toronto, uh, I know
558
00:22:33.655 --> 00:22:35.615
that that champagne probably tasted a little bit sweeter
559
00:22:35.615 --> 00:22:36.735
than any of the ones that you've had.
560
00:22:36.875 --> 00:22:38.775
So congrats on that. Oh yeah.
561
00:22:38.835 --> 00:22:41.415
We wish you all the best for the remaining four races.
562
00:22:41.715 --> 00:22:43.815
I'd love to see 10 top 10. Let's make it happen.
563
00:22:44.235 --> 00:22:45.775
I'd love to see a top 10 in the points.
564
00:22:45.865 --> 00:22:48.735
Let's make it happen. And then I'm super excited for you,
565
00:22:48.735 --> 00:22:50.375
man, for the off season because you know,
566
00:22:50.375 --> 00:22:52.575
we've got a longer off season than normal and, uh,
567
00:22:52.835 --> 00:22:54.895
and there's some movement happening in the driver's market
568
00:22:55.035 --> 00:22:56.615
and I know that your name has now kind
569
00:22:56.775 --> 00:22:59.175
of reached fever pitch, you know, it's, it's top
570
00:22:59.175 --> 00:23:01.095
of the pile in terms of, uh, of the drivers
571
00:23:01.095 --> 00:23:02.215
that people are talking about.
572
00:23:02.395 --> 00:23:04.175
So keep up the great work buddy.
573
00:23:04.275 --> 00:23:07.695
Always been a fan, uh, always impressed with what you do
574
00:23:07.715 --> 00:23:08.735
and can't wait to see what
575
00:23:08.735 --> 00:23:10.215
the last four have in store for you. Yeah,
576
00:23:10.215 --> 00:23:11.215
Yeah.
577
00:23:11.215 --> 00:23:11.895
Thank you very much. Thanks for everything on the show
578
00:23:11.915 --> 00:23:13.855
and, uh, well let's do another one.
579
00:23:13.855 --> 00:23:15.935
When I got 10 top tens and top 10 in the
580
00:23:15.935 --> 00:23:16.935
Championship, that's a deal.
581
00:23:16.995 --> 00:23:18.895
That's a deal. Okay, we'll see you at the end of the season.
582
00:23:18.895 --> 00:23:21.815
Celebrate the 10. Alright. Alright, buddy, take care.
