James Davison has experienced every range of emotion after crashing on Friday, clawing his way into the field with the 33rd-fastest speed on Bump Day, and rocketing up 14 positions to qualify for the 102nd Indy 500 in 19th place. The A.J. Foyt with Byrd/Hollinger/Belardi Racing Chevy driver is as scrappy as they come and joins Marshall Pruett to discuss his crazy month of May, the life of an Indy-only driver, and what's ahead in the run up to the race.

Dreyer & Reinbold Racing Chevy driver Sage Karam joins the Marshall Pruett Podcast's short-form, end-of-day recap following Wednesday's practice run in preparation for the Indy 500. The former Indy Lights champion is a bit older, calmer, and more grounded than we've ever seen, and with his top 10 speed shown so far, the young American appears to be on the right path towards a positive month of May. Karam's technical insights on the handling differences with IndyCar's new 2018 bodywork are especially valuable as the Pennsylvanian dives into some of the issues many of the fast drivers have noted this week.

MP 294: The Week In IndyCar, April 17, with Bretzman & Bourdais
Tuesday Apr 17, 2018
Tuesday Apr 17, 2018
How much does Long Beach winner Alexander Rossi remind Andretti Autosport technical director Eric Bretzman of his former driver, four-time IndyCar champion Scott Dixon?
“Shocking similarity,” he said during his co-hosting visit to Marshall Pruett's 'Week In IndyCar' podcast. “I see Alex developing into nearly the same guy on track. It’s crazy how they, in a lot of cases, say the same thing [and] are looking for the same things a lot of time.”
Bretzman adds further insight during his one-hour visit fielding listener questions on what he’d change if given the keys to the technical regulations and how and increase in engine power will require immediate development of a new brake package to deal with the extra speed. And as Fernando Alonso’s race engineer during the Spaniard’s unforgettable run at the Indy 500 in 2017, Bretzman shares a closing tale about the two-time Formula 1 world champion’s amazing car control while drafting that is simply insane.
Four-time Champ Car champion Sebastien Bourdais closes the episode with a half-hour visit where he and Pruett resume their 'Hamburger and French Fry' show discussing the Frenchman’s crazy pass of Scott Dixon and Matheus Leist into Turn 1, the penalty he received as a result of crossing over the pit exit lane, his pointed comments and the heat he’s caught for calling some drivers ’idiots’ and whether he cares.
“If you don’t want to be called an idiot, don’t behave like an idiot,” the Dale Coyne Racing with Vasser-Sullivan driver said. “It’s not acceptable, and I don’t mind saying it. If they don’t want to hear it, they don’t have to read it. Honestly, I don’t care. We can all agree to disagree.”
Bourdais continues the thread on Ed Carpenter Racing rookie Jordan King and the dive bomb passing attempt on James Hinchcliffe into the hairpin that spun the Frenchman’s car which, as you might suspect, remains a hot topic between the two drivers.
Closing the show, listen in to Bourdais’ fan Q&A on everything from what he plans to do after he hangs up his helmet to whether the new 2018 IndyCar bodywork makes the current chassis perform in ways that are similar to the 2007 Panoz DP01 Champ Car.

Friday Apr 13, 2018
After discovering an audio recording I made of the 1995 CART IndyCar Series round at Long Beach that had been missing for more than 20 years, I converted it to podcast form for your 2.65-liter turbocharged V8 listening delight. After hearing the screaming Ford XBs, Ilmor Mercedes-Benzs and Hondas powering the likes of Al Unser Jr, Michael Andretti, Bobby Rahal, Emerson and Christian Fittipaldi, Paul Tracy, Jimmy Vasser, Bryan Herta, and more of the iconic drivers from CART's golden era, you might come to appreciate why so many miss the best-sounding engine formula the series has produced.
