114 - Mind Over Matter - Indy NXT Driver Myles Rowe on Managing Expectations

Speed Street

IndyCars are on track testing at Sebring as Conor Daly and co-host Chase Holden break out another episode of Speed Street. Conor and Chase go over the test results and weigh in on what the data could possibly mean for the upcoming season. They also react to the thrilling three-wide finish in last weekend’s NASCAR Cup race at Atlanta. During a new, refreshed version of the “Podium” segment, Conor and Chase welcome motorsports social media personality Kevin Beck to the table to debate three current topics in the sport today. They discuss NASCAR vs. F1 online discourse, F1 and Liberty Media’s copyright infringement of the “Greatest Spectacle” slogan and IndyCar banning Josef Newgarden’s last lap snake maneuver at this year’s 500.

After the break, Force Indy/HMD Motorsports Indy NXT racer Myles Rowe joins the program to fill listeners in on his unconventional path through auto racing. Myles explains that one of his biggest challenges on the Road to Indy has been managing expectations, both inside and outside of the helmet. He also fills listeners in on the development of the Force Indy team, which he has been with since its inception in 2021. Myles talks about his entry into the racing world, which came through video games and a local indoor kart league. Miraculously, he has managed to turn this unusual approach into a promising career, as he carries the 2023 USF Pro 2000 Championship crown into this year’s Indy NXT season.
