The finales of the Indy ladder system at Laguna Seca was very anemic. It left me with little to no hope for the series.
Ed had a take on his relationship with Karam in the last Dinner With Racers podcast. You’ll hear if you haven’t binge listened to them in order.
So pleased for Servia and hopefully he puts together more money. I really like the dude.
