MP 267: Hurley Haywood, My Racing Life and Career

With the publication of his autobiography, American racing legend Hurley Haywood has opened chapters of his life that were largely kept private in a professional career that spanned 1969-2012.
In his return to the Marshall Pruett Podcast, Haywood brings us inside his fascinating midwestern upbringing, how being drafted into the Vietnam war halted his momentum as a sports car driver and altered his outlook on life, the role Peter Gregg and Brumos Racing played in his development, and Gregg’s battle with mental health issues that eventually led to suicide.
Outside of his well-known championships and successes at Daytona, Sebring, and Le Mans, Haywood’s unique forays into IndyCar, IROC, and Trans-Am are discussed, and the decision to speak publicly for the first about his sexuality in Hurley: From The Beginning closes the 90-minute conversation.

After Phoenix, Newgarden answers plenty of fan Q&A, starting with Josef's interest in F1, the pass he pulled on Team Penske teammate Simon Pagenaud at Gateway, and which driver(s) he'd like to have as a teammate in the future standing out among many great inquiries.
For Hampson, who serves as Sebastien Bourdais' engineer at Dale Coyne Racing, thoughts on engine development for 2018, the addition of Jimmy Vasser and James Sullivan to DCR, lingering feelings on Seb's big Indy crash, a great Paul Newman story from his time with Bourdais at Newman/Haas Racing, and his opinions on Kurt Busch's talent in an Indy car after running him at the 2014 Indy 500 for Andretti Autosport are part of the first episode for Year 2 of the Week In IndyCar podcast.
