The Indycar Paddock Shifts Once Again | Théo Pourchaire Joins Us! Speed Street EP137 

Congrats on the new ride with Juncos! So happy for you. I'm now inspired to watch the Indy race this weekend along with all the practice sessions. My mom (fan of yours too) and I will be cheering for you! 🎉

17:09 yes we do, and Milwaukee is perfect for it! NASCAR has throwback weekend at Darlington, IndyCar at Milwaukee as a throwback race is a perfect idea and I’ve been saying this for a couple of years!

Big fan of your pod Conor. Been listening for a couple years now. Your authenticity keeps me coming back. Also been a fan of you as a driver since I saw ya on Amazing Race 30. Your attitude got me back watching Indy car after a 10 year break. Always yelling at the tv screen when you race for others to get out of your way. I'm always searching for what streaming service to watch your races on. Keep up the great work and I hope to see you back in Indy car. Hope it's before the next 500.

Somehow didn’t know Conor Daly was on RU-vid but instantly subbed

I've been a fan of Théo since 2021 and it was so great to hear he had a great experience in the US. I discovered indycar thanks to him and i understand why he loved it. Great to see he seems to be at least considered for a seat in a couple of teams in indy and hopefully it will work out because he truly deserves to show his talent to the world. Thanks for the interview, it was really interesting !

We've gotten used to calling him Teddy Porkchops. Love that guy.

Don't ever quit twitter replies 🤣 you're amazing this week

Awe yeah! Stoked for this one. Didn’t listen to the audio yesterday because I wanted to wait for the vid to drop. Great interview! We learned Teddy’s a big fan of The Lord’s Chicken, and Europe has a massive misunderstanding and lack of respect of IndyCar. Seems like a great guy, hope he has continued success.

Awesome to see this channel growing each week!

Looking forward to this one thanks Conor

Work, beer, and vod watched "good day" ;-) Will watch next weak hoping to hear how the car felt for you guys. Have a good night man.

I'll be rooting for you and Juncos from PIR tomorrow!!!

Great video and interview! :) Theo seems very nice & I wish him all the best.

go Conor go! take that 78 by the horns and make the most of it, brother. Learn from Grosjean. You guys are similar in your mindset. Joyful but serious when needed

To say the Pauls were controversial is an understatement.

strong work ethic, lack of ego, cool temper. this is the way

👽👽👽👽brickyard 400 crowd is from different time line👽👽👽👽

Another very interesting episode! Theo seems to be another passionate driver. John Paul, Jr was a great guy, always had time for his fans. He definitely had a raw deal at the hand of his disgusting father. I’m sure Derek can fill you in. 🙏🏻 for good news for an IndyCar ride.

Is it as simple that there is a financial element why hire Siegel over Theo? Does McLaren need a driver who has money behind him? Nolan has not shown nothing over TP so far. That being said I believe that Siegel could very well be a great driver in near future. Hopefully he will be given time to learn and gather experience in peace. All this McLaren driver rulette has been very fascinating ! Now they have young guns in Indycar and F1. Great to see how they do in upcoming seasons. Theo is cool. I hope he gets a seat and same as Nolan, gets time to prove himself🙏

Conor i know its hard to do but stop reading what online haters have to say, your an Indycar driver and a cool person and they're never going to be

90 was my 3rd 500. You should defiantly look into the whole JPJ story fans took both sides for sure. Stay busy guys.

The firestone tires have been too hard and unable to degrade since Gateway's 2017 return. They haven't bothered to make a softer tire the entire time. Now it's a problem at Iowa too, one of the best races with traffic is now a parade like Gateway. Restarts should NEVER be the only opportunity to pass, the leaders need to be able to get around the last driver on the lead lap.

The saddest thing about what Theo says is that he don’t even seems to be considered for the Sauber seat in Formula 1… they have nobody and he’s their young reserve driver wtf are they waiting for ????

Hold on... Is that why you picked Grosjean last time? Lol! Got my fingers crossed for you for whatever it is you can't say about no. 78. Re: The Olympics. Watched the park skateboarding yesterday, and I was most amused to see Andy Macdonald competing for Team GB!

the videos are a bit long sometimes. If I was in charge, which I'm clearly not, I'd make them no more than 30 minutes. . On a technical note, how do the tires in Indycar, F1,F2, F3 compare?I reallly like Theo, glad he was on your show. FYI I hope you get the call from Ricardo for the rest of the season

The amount of potential drivers for F1 in 2025 that are floating just shows that some drivers in those incumbent seats are staying around too long and past their best, namely Perez and Bottas, I think for the second Sauber (soon to be Audi) seat alongside Hulkenberg, it should be Theo in that seat, I think it's a shame that he hasn't been seriously considered for that seat by Sauber and that people aren't taking him seriously despite the fact that he's an F2 champion, I don't see Bottas staying next year, his time there is practically done, yes the car has been woeful but he hasn't done enough, and given the recent management changes with Binotto being brought in, I think Bottas is on the way out, that second Sauber seat should be Theo's, it would be a shame if he's not in F1 in the future, yes his currently brief career in IndyCar has been pretty good but there's still that lingering thing about another victim of becoming F2 champion and not getting an immediate graduation to F1 or not making it to F1 at all

I understand if my comment gets deleted but it would be kinda funny if Pourchaire replaces Canapino during this season (considering what happened after Detroit). Wouldn’t mind it being Conor in the seat. Regardless who it is, I hope they get embraced rather than harassed.

There are some wild stories about the shenanigans that JP Sr got into, and JPJ went to prison for a while in the 80s because he refused to testify against his father. He was supposed to get the Domino's ride instead of Little Al in 85 and had to give it up because of all the legal dramas going on. Then he also managed to bookend his Indycar career with wins in 83 at Michigan and 1998 at Texas. Then he stopped racing when his Huntington's disease started to affect his driving.

How is the Leader's Circle funded? Where does the money come from?

Unfortunately in today's F1 environment 3 years is too long. There are only 20 F1 teams, with MAYBE 1-2 new seats available per year. They do not want a champion that took 3 years to win the F2 championship - they want The Hot Shoe that Wow's Them, and Kills It in 1 or 2 years, Tops. And they don't care about any excuses...
