The Autoweek Podcast show

Summary: On this episode of the “Autoweek Podcast,” host Rory Carroll and the usual suspects -- Jimmy Pelizzari, Mike Pryson and Wesley Wren -- talk about the upcoming Indianapolis 500. Ahead of any race talk, Autoweek’s Peter Hughes calls in to chat about his recent cover story that details the life of Mario Andretti. Mostly, Hughes talks about the stories that didn’t make the magazine and what it’s like to talk with a living legend.   Following Hughes, associate motorsports editor Matt Weaver calls in to give us a taste of what it’s like on the ground in Indianapolis. Weaver talks about the elephant in Indy: Fernando Alonso’s DNQ. Afterward, the gang all picks their winners.
