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
