This is Off Track with Hinchin Ross. Hey
1:08
guys, what's up? Welcome to the Tuesday episode
1:10
of Off Track. James is
1:12
in Singapore, f***ing off with
1:14
Formula One. So I'm taking over and
1:17
this is going to be an absolute train
1:19
wreck of an episode because let's be honest,
1:21
he carries this show. Special
1:24
guest. No,
1:26
you don't do anything. You make it even worse than I
1:28
do. Special guest is
1:31
former teammates. Good
1:34
friend of mine and most
1:36
recent race winner, Colton Hurda.
1:39
Thanks for coming on and wasting your time
1:41
with us. It's very appreciate. Thank you for
1:43
finally having me on. I don't know how
1:45
my girlfriend's dad was on before
1:47
me. It's a
1:50
really good point, actually. Oh
1:52
no. Yeah. I saw Colton after the race today. He's
1:54
like, I've never been on. I was like, that can't
1:56
be right. Like we've, with that has to, we've had
1:58
to have had a bond and no. I
2:00
just thought, I thought it was like a, you guys
2:03
just do, do it and never have anybody on. And
2:05
then I saw Jackie was on and
2:07
you were like, and I was like, Oh
2:09
wow. Okay. That's where you are. I
2:12
know they say they don't like me, but maybe
2:14
it might be true. No, I think it's, I
2:16
think it's just cause really James is so nervous
2:18
to talk to you considering his
2:20
performance when he was and ready with all of
2:22
us. So, um, okay. All
2:25
right. Going there. No, I mean, let's
2:30
talk about, let's talk about your
2:33
IndyCar career. I mean, I think everyone
2:35
that listens to the show knows it
2:37
pretty well. It's been very well documented,
2:39
but you, um, you obviously
2:42
grew up in the sport, your dad,
2:44
an icon of, of IndyCar racing. And
2:46
then, um, you made the
2:48
transition in 2019, right? Or was it 18? It was 19,
2:50
right? Yes. 2019 2019. Well, my
2:56
first, I did Sonoma in 2018. Okay.
2:58
But your first real, real racing was
3:00
2019 with Harding, um,
3:03
which was kind of the beginning
3:06
of, I think technical alliances in IndyCar racing
3:08
because they were the kind of offshoot of
3:11
Android, the auto support and got to work
3:13
with you. So tell us about, you
3:16
know, that first year and making the
3:18
impression and, and did it live up to
3:20
the hype and was it everything that you
3:22
always hoped it would be? Yeah. I mean,
3:24
it's, it was amazing. I think my favorite
3:26
part was beating Alex straight up in my
3:29
third race winning. And that's exactly what
3:31
happened. Yeah. I mean, other results
3:38
she would show that. Yes, that is
3:40
correct. No,
3:43
but it was amazing. Um, you
3:45
know, to be able to come into a
3:48
program that was very low key, but still
3:50
had amazing cars because they were built by
3:52
Andretti. Um, and then be able
3:54
to learn from guys like
3:57
yourself, um, you know, have
3:59
James there, Hunter. hollow
28:00
a few years ago, the crowds were insane. You know,
28:02
every time they went to the gold coast, the crowds
28:04
were insane racing at rocking them
28:07
in England or lousy string. The
28:09
places were always packed. And I understand that maybe
28:11
this is a few years ago in Indy cars
28:13
prime. But if, if
28:16
the British touring car championship can get 40,000 people
28:19
on race day at brands hatch,
28:21
I don't see why Indy car can't
28:23
at least match that in more likely
28:25
double it. Plus it could help,
28:27
could help launch the popularity of some of
28:29
the unknown guys like Pato. Yeah,
28:32
I think, I think that is
28:34
the perfect analogy and we'll end
28:36
on that. Like yeah, if BTCC
28:38
can get 40,000 people, there's no
28:41
scenario where Indy car can't go
28:43
somewhere and have a profitable event.
28:46
So, um, agree
28:48
very much. Thank you for
28:50
your time. Thank you for still
28:54
talking to us lesser people.
28:56
Now that you're a second
28:58
place, Indy car championship finisher.
29:01
And thanks for letting me way overstay
29:03
my welcome on Sunday night. That was,
29:05
that was nice. Did Tim, did Tim
29:07
absorb too much alcohol? That
29:09
was awesome. Not enough in my
29:12
eyes. I was
29:14
very much the last one to leave though. I was, yeah,
29:16
I did not take any of the hints. Yeah,
29:19
that was great. When the lights come on,
29:21
Tim's still there. That makes sense. All right,
29:23
dude. Appreciate it. Um, have a great off
29:25
season. Uh, if we don't see
29:27
you before then, which I'm sure
29:29
we will, um, take care of yourself, say hi
29:31
to the family and, uh, appreciate your time. Thanks
