Tune in for technical discussions on car design and fuel strategy, as well as a behind-the-scenes look at the fast-paced world of racing.
On this episode of Lap 98, we break down the domination of Shane van Gisbergen at NASCAR Cup Series at Watkins Glen and discuss whether the FOX broadcast struggled to keep up with everything happening on track. From missed battles to confusing coverage moments, we get into what worked — and what didn’t — during the weekend at The Glen.
We also dive into the unbelievable weekend from Caden Honeycutt, who racks up FOUR wins across multiple series: ARCA, Trucks, and a double victory in the CARS Tour. Is this one of the biggest breakout weekends we’ve seen from a young driver in years?
Plus, we head to the IndyCar Grand Prix at Indianapolis Motor Speedway where controversy struck after Alexander Rossi climbed out of his car and crossed pit lane while the track was still green following a breakdown on the front stretch. Was Rossi simply trying to get to safety, or did IndyCar mishandle the situation entirely? We debate who was really at fault and what the series should do moving forward.
All of that and more on Lap 98.
Lap 97 has a little bit of everything. We break down the upcoming Formula One regulation changes for 2027 and what they could mean for the future of the sport before diving headfirst into the chaos of Miami. From the massive flip, to Kimi Antonelli getting the win, to Max Verstappen somehow pulling off a full 360 spin on the opening lap and carrying on like nothing happened, Miami gave us plenty to talk about… except maybe the rain that never really showed up.
Then it’s over to NASCAR at Texas Motor Speedway where Chase Elliott grabs the win, but the real debate starts after the checkered flag. We get into the intentional wrecking conversations involving Ty Gibbs and Ryan Preece, plus the incident between Kyle Busch and John Hunter Nemechek. And yes… we absolutely had to discuss the Joey Logano custard incident on pit road and what it could mean for the playoff standings moving forward.
Join Antonio & Norman for Lap 96 as they break down all the chaos and strategy from NASCAR’s wild race at Talladega. From big moves to even bigger wrecks, they cover the moments that defined the weekend. Then, they shift gears to preview the upcoming Formula 1 showdown in Miami, highlighting key storylines and drivers to watch. It’s a packed episode you won’t want to miss.
Antonio and Norman recap a packed weekend of motorsport headlined by Long Beach, where Acura and Meyer Shank Racing finally broke through for their first Long Beach victory in the modern IMSA era, before Alex Palou added to the drama on Sunday, claiming his first-ever IndyCar win on the streets of Long Beach ahead of Felix Rosenqvist and Scott Dixon. Over at Kansas Speedway, Tyler Reddick survived late-race chaos to beat Kyle Larson in overtime, becoming just the fourth driver in history to win five of the first nine Cup races in a season. The guys also take a moment to reflect on the tragic events at the Nürburgring, where driver Juha Miettinen lost his life following a seven-car crash during the ADAC 24h Nürburgring Qualifiers — a sobering reminder of the risks that come with the sport we love.
Lap 94 is a rollercoaster this week—Antonio dominates the Legend race weekend at the road course, going fastest in practice and qualifying… only to never take the green flag thanks to rain and no rain tires. From heartbreak to hard truths, we shift to NASCAR at Bristol and why the “old Bristol” might be gone for good thanks to modern car tech. Plus, Ty breaks through for his first win, and Blaney once again fights through pit crew struggles to stay strong in the points.
This week on Lap 93, we dive into the surprising rejection of Cletus McFarland from the upcoming O’Reilly’s race at Talladega—and what it says about the sport right now. We also break down Antonio’s run in the Legend race… where he didn’t just show up, he was the legend. Plus, we circle back to Formula One with more thoughts on what’s working, what’s not, and what’s starting to raise some eyebrows as the season unfolds.
This week on Lap 92, we kick things off at Barber Motorsports Park where Alex Palou absolutely put on a clinic… in a race so clean it almost felt suspicious—no cautions, no DNFs, just drivers vs. the track. We break down why Barber might just be the Augusta of motorsports and why that’s not a bad thing.
Then we jump into NASCAR, where things got… less polite. We dive into the final 80 laps at Martinsville Speedway, including the heated moment between Bubba Wallace and Carson Hocevar—and yeah, we’re not exactly buying Bubba’s post-race explanation. We also cover Denny Hamlin’s loose wheel drama (and the mystery of the missing penalty), plus Ryan Blaney’s day, before tipping the hat to Chase Elliott for grabbing the win.
Finally, we head to Suzuka Circuit for Formula 1, where the racing itself takes a backseat to bigger concerns. We get into the ongoing frustrations with the cars, the battery deployment issues, and how incidents like Oliver Bearman’s crash are starting to raise eyebrows. Oh—and when Max Verstappen is openly talking about walking away, you know something’s off.
Clean racing, messy drama, and a little bit of calling it like we see it—this one’s got everything.
This week on the podcast, we’re asking the big question after NASCAR this weekend…
Is it Reddick time to buy? Because Tyler Reddick showed up ready to go shopping while the rest of the field was still looking for the receipt. We break down the NASCAR race, the chaos, the strategy calls, and the moments that made us question if anyone actually had a plan.
Then we head over to endurance racing where the
12 Hours of Sebring
turned into another episode of Porsche Says No to Everyone Else.
Porsche came to Sebring like they owned the place, and honestly… they kinda did. We talk about the domination, the teams that survived, the teams that didn’t, and why Sebring is still one of the toughest races on the planet.
Expect laughs, hot takes, questionable opinions, and the usual race weekend chaos as we go full throttle through NASCAR and IMSA.
If you like stock cars, sports cars, and a little bit of nonsense in between… this episode is for you.

The NASCAR season comes to a close at Phoenix, where Denny Hamlin dominates, Ryan Blaney takes the win (somehow we didn’t even realize that at first), and Kyle Larson walks away with the championship. But despite all that action, it just… doesn’t feel right. We talk about the sour taste this finale left in our mouths and break down who’s to blame for it.

Our buddy "Caboose" joins us this week on the Lap Zero Podcast. We had a very eventful weekend of racing. NASCAR showed us that the shortest race of the year can be the longest. Indy Car at the new Detroit street circuit was insane to say the least, but are all these street tracks bringing good racing to the table? Formula 1 put on a good show in Barcelona and showed us Mercedes may be a force to be reckoned with for the rest of the year. Le Mans is this weekend! Norman and "Caboose" help pump us up.

The guys sit down and chat about the biggest weekend in motorsport on this edition of the Lap Zero Podcast. Memorial Day weekend proved to be a memorable one kicking off with the Monaco Grand Prix. Formula 1 at Monaco is never crazy exciting but at least we got some rain to spice things up. The Indy 500 was great (except for Jules National Anthem lol) and reminded us all that being a race fan comes with some risks. The Coke 600 was delayed due to weather to Monday but still provided some interesting racing. Antonio takes us through the race and tells us more about some of the penalties that came from this weekend. Also, we get ready for the Barcelona Grand Prix with some "In it, Win it, and Bin it" so stick around for another feature filled episode of the Lap Zero Podcast.

The biggest weekend in racing is here folks. The guys sit down and prepare for the huge weekend ahead on this edition of the Lap Zero Podcast. The NASCAR All-Star Race was an awesome event but left much to be desired with the short-track package. The Coke 600 sold out for the second year in a row, but TV numbers are down. What can NASCAR do to keep TV viewers interested? The 107th running of the Indy 500 is this weekend and we couldn't be more excited! We cover some history, race facts, driver news, and other topics. Last but not least, the Monaco Grand Prix also runs this weekend after Imola was cancelled due to rain and flooding. We should be seeing some upgrades and maybe some wet weather so hold onto your hats and maybe grab an umbrella for one heck of a race weekend here with the Lap Zero Podcast.

David, Norman, and Levi take the helm as Antonio works on his racecar this week on the Lap Zero Podcast. NASCAR at Kansas was... interesting.

Formula 1 at Miami was something to behold. Whoever thought that intro was a good idea should DEFINITELY NOT be in charge in Vegas. God help us all if they are.

This week on the Lap Zero Podcast, the Driver of the #3 HMD Motorsports Indy NXT Car, Josh Green, joins us after his weekend at Barber. All of our favorite series are back on track but not all of them panned out. NASCAR at Dover was a decent race and had a few controversial moments. The Formula 1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix was all but grand. Even with the media crew almost getting taken out in the pitlane at the end of the race, it was still one of the more boring races we have seen in a while. Norman was at Barber this weekend and takes us through Sunday from a "grandstand" point of view. All the while, Josh Green sticks around to discuss his career, experiences, future, and even offers some free sim-racing advice on another edition of the Lap Zero Podcast.

This week on the Lap Zero Podcast, the guys talk safety! NASCAR ran at Martinsville this last weekend. Between Chase Elliot's comeback and Kevin Harvick's stage win, it was overall a pretty good race. Our iRacing league, League Zero, just wrapped up the season. We cover some results and expectations for the future. Indy car gave us a thriller at Long Beach, but raised some safety concerns. Should marshals be allowed on track under a yellow? Formula 1 has taken their stance, but the AMR Safety team showed us that they seem to think it's ok. Also, are safety rules across all categories getting too strict? What should our expectations be as fans, and what expectations should the drivers have moving forward? We answer all of this and more on the 12th edition of the Lap Zero Podcast.

Also, we do our first ever "Bin it, In it, or Win it" where we make our picks for the big race!
Antonio, David, Levi, and Norman have a chat about the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona, the Bathurst 12 Hour, the Clash at the Coliseum, the upcoming Formula 1 season, NASCAR rule changes, League Zero sim racing, and so much more! Check out the league at www.leaguezero.net
