CRYPTO INDY – SAMMY SHORT TRACK - I DON’T NEED A RIDE, I NEED AMMO

JACK ARUTE'S WIND TUNNEL

This week’s episode features a story about how the newest and rapidly growing financial corner, Crypto currency saved the season for one of IndyCar’s most popular drivers, how a teen moves up the NASCAR ladder with the aid of Kyle Busch and TRD and how a comment made by Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky, ignited an effort by one of NASCAR’s top car owners to take action.

It looked like 2022’s NTT IndyCar Series would not include fan favorite and native Hoosier Conor Daly. The stepson of Indianapolis Motor Speedway President Doug Boles and son of F1 and Indy veteran Derrick Daly has been chasing his Indy dream for almost a decade.

But as the off-season drew to a close, he found himself without a steady ride and exploring other racing disciplines. That’s when Todd Ault and Bitnile stepped in and backed the Carmel Indiana native for a fulltime ride in the #20 Ed Carpenter Racing Chevy.

Jack and Conor unpack that story and drill into Conor’s passionate dedication to an IndyCar career.

For the last couple of years, teenager Sammy Smith has focused on the best way to fulfill his dream and earn a spot in the Cup Series.

Jack and he talk about the importance of his association with Kyle Busch Motorsports and TRD’s Driver Development program while honing his “race craft” behind the wheel of a Super Late Model and NASCAR’s Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series tracks.

We have all watched as Russia wages war on Ukraine. For NASCAR owner Richard Childress, watching was not an option. Especially after the Hall of Famer hear Ukrainian President tell the World the he “didn’t need a ride out his country. He needed AMMO”

Jack and RC discuss Childress’s efforts with Ammo Inc to meet that need.

In addition, they talk about how Childress went from a privateer NASCAR driver to one of the sport’s leading racing operations and a new sporting venture that Childress is set to launch.
