We're back with episode 8 of F-R Racing's Garage Talk! In this episode, Erik and D.J. talk about Ferrari's rough day in France, the on-track (Hamlin vs Chastain) and off-track (Hamlin/Kyle Busch DQs, drama at Pocono, and Jimmie Johnson driving an IndyCar like a stock car at Iowa Speedway during our segment discussing real racing. We get into a brief discussion about NASCAR's marketing, angering fans, Camping World dropping their sponsorship of the Truck Series after this year, and IndyCar's lousy TV ratings. There's way too much to unpack so we'll have to dedicate an episode to talk about marketing in US auto racing and what we think they can do to change their bad luck.
We move into our iRacing discussion with a recap of Wednesday Night Dash and the strong performance from Colton Gardner, Kaden McAreavy clinching the season title, and the race for 2nd and 3rd place going into the final race at Phoenix. We also hype the upcoming new season after Labor Day.
