Oriol Servia's New Roles in Racing | Welcome to 2025! Speed Street EP156

[@birdhabitat]

I think this was the best interview ever on Speed Street. What an incredible man. I remember Oriol from the very beginning and loved him pushing the boundaries, to seeing him walking through the Portland paddock with a black shirt that read “Will drive for food.” Also bring back the DP01! It was crushing to have the best car in open wheel racing die a premature death at the hands of the IRL.

[@ConorDaly22]

love to hear that! I had a smile on my face the whole time during the interview. the DP01 was insane!

[@AlonsoDVJ]

That was one of the best interviews you've ever done. Fans love that kind of insight on the sport, and Oriol is great at telling these stories. I'd love to see him again in the show!

[@ConorDaly22]

glad you enjoyed it!

[@stevenkilsdonk2046]

That St Pete 2016 story sounds like the type where every couple of years, another bottle gets added to the number consumed prior to the call from Cindric, haha. Best of luck this year Conor!

[@ConorDaly22]

I wouldnt ever doubt the accuracy of that type of story when it comes to this paddock lol

[@John-jl9de]

Great interview, thanks. Have a great 2025. We love Indycar racing and hope they put together a marketing team to propel the the series up with Fox.

[@ConorDaly22]

thank you! let's hope for a great year for IndyCar!

[@John-jl9de]

[@SteveSutherland-k5k]

Set the bar high right out of the gate! Great interview! 2025 is going to be a great year for Indy car and Conor Daly!

[@ConorDaly22]

thank you! I really enjoyed this one so I'm glad you did as well

[@DuaneCampbell-p3o]

Great show to start the New Year. Oriol interview was great. Cheered for him back in the day. Ganassi should hire him for one race to complete his bingo ticket.

[@ConorDaly22]

haha i agree!

[@lindakliethermes4137]

22:50 - Another great one! Always love to hear Oriol speak - he’s a brilliant man and very nice to listen to 😉 Excited for this season to begin.

[@ConorDaly22]

he's very smart indeed! glad you enjoyed the conversation!

[@rocketmanbill9293]

Night Racing.... Wasn't the last Indycar race at Chicagoland a Night Race? Bring it Back!

[@ConorDaly22]

Many years ago now but yes Chicago was at night for the most part as long as I remember

[@peters5333]

Probably one of the best racing interviews I have ever watched. Was only going to watch for a minute or two but do remember Oriol Servia very well. A very very interesting man and some great questions. Normally I watch the dual airbags - Hinch and Rossi...wait, triple...Thim. But this was a good one Conor/Chase. Can you imagine driving for Penske hungover!

[@ConorDaly22]

we appreciate you watching! Hope you'll enjoy a few other interviews we've done as well!

[@maxcarlson3357]

Thank you so much Conor! So excited for this one! This is the first of my three episode suggestions, woo hoo!

[@ConorDaly22]

love to hear it!

[@InsideTheHeats]

Awesome interview! So cool to find out Oriol’s an engineer. Keep bringing on these legends! And hey, an episode on CART vs. IRL would be epic. That was such an interesting time in motorsports- people might’ve forgotten just how big CART was compared to IRL back then!

[@ConorDaly22]

Yeah I gotta try and figure out who would be the best guest for that type of talk. Would be fun!

[@sarahmorris3677]

Happy New Year Conor! Can't wait to see what the 2025 IndyCar season brings! This was an awesome video and awesome interview!! Also, I do have a question. Have you ever had an interview on the channel with Aaron Likens? If not, I think you should!

[@ConorDaly22]

Thank you! We have not interviewed Aaron.

[@DaveyKos]

All the best for 2025 for the show Conor and Chase and your season Conor. Can't wait to see that TrackHouse team in the Rolex by the way.

[@ConorDaly22]

thank you! yeah that will be a really good one.

[@MontañésUnidadHispana]

Vamoooos, grandísimo Oriol, glad to see him here.

[@ConorDaly22]

glad you enjoyed it!

[@joegangi6110]

Great interview. If I had a lot of cash to burn, I’d fund a three year guaranteed full time ride for Conor, a top tier Indy 500 ride for Oriol with Chip and a mustache trim for Chase.🏁

[@ConorDaly22]

haha now that sounds like a strong program!

[@birdhabitat]

Thanks!

[@ConorDaly22]

thank you so much! we appreciate the support!

[@rivaeast]

without a doubt one of the best interviews!

[@ConorDaly22]

i thought so too! Thank you!

[@smin-rg3yj]

Another great show guys, and yes you should have Servia back! Happy New Indy Car Year!

[@ConorDaly22]

thank you! glad you enjoyed it!

[@caseman799]

I still think it would be neat to have Sing Ray on. Especially after qualifying for Indy 500. It would help unite the two fan bases under the JHR banner

[@ConorDaly22]

lol we'll see

[@Dragan3312]

8:56 That would be cool

[@simply_leahd6971]

so I would LOVE for the NXT series to do more Ovals... I also think it needs to have some INDYCAR drivers come and do a NXT race or two... Like the Cup drivers do for Xfinity... And theres def some INDYCAR drivers who would benefit from more Oval time (Lundgaard, Armstrong, etc). Great show (as always)! Can't wait to see you at Barber!!!!

[@ConorDaly22]

I dont think we will ever see indycar drivers do NXT because there is no point for us. No one makes money doing that sadly. IndyCar is also so much physically harder than NASCAR, we dont want to add anymore work than we already have.

[@FormulaIndyOne]

Awesome video. Very nice guy Oriol. Keep going with the awesome guests interviews. Thanks guys!

[@ConorDaly22]

thanks for watching!

[@chadwickstephens4843]

Man I love when the old timers speak, thanks fellas, but, it makes me kinda sad to know that the days of cars like CART/CHAMP are gone forever and it seems as though the money will never be around again to run a championship like those, great job and thanks again

[@ConorDaly22]

just a totally different era now. If the FOX deal does the right thing for our sport and the leadership continues to strengthen what we have I think that will be helpful

[@Richard.Hybels]

Love hearing from Oriol. To hear a couple of drivers talk about a racing like Oriol and Conor are is do frickin cool. As a guy racing Formula F I can’t imagine being quick enough to feel “putting 1 click of rebound” in the dampers. When you are slow the car is always neutral LOL.

[@ConorDaly22]

things definitely change as you go a bit quicker! hah

[@F1Anything]

Happy New Year Conor!! Great video,excited for what's coming in 2025

[@ConorDaly22]

Thank you! Happy new year!

[@EdWolfram]

Any of you podcast watchers come on out to Twitch. I give subs out every time Conor is on. Maybe you can come out and get one .We are one rain shower from many of those races being night races. Great interview. Thanks for the content fellas.

[@ConorDaly22]

haha we appreciate you Ed

[@thomaspeterson7338]

Nice job great guest

[@ConorDaly22]

Thank you!

[@bofat6978]

Happy New Year!

[@ConorDaly22]

happy new year! gunna be a great one!

[@ericlopez7825]

2021 was great having the season finale here in Long Beach but having a night race here would be the best!!

[@ConorDaly22]

that would be pretty wild for sure haha

[@DanielPatrick35]

Well, I’m planning on going to Milwaukee (and dragging my entire family there) for the first time, so I think it’s a good sign. 👍

[@ConorDaly22]

love to hear that!

[@JD-bc2ls]

Hey all your points are valid. Just saying maybe it’s going on a bit long. We get it. I do like The Circulation Police. It’s funny. Along with Beef Watch. Should be your 2 new segments. As you can tell…I follow the podcast!

[@ConorDaly22]

well we appreciate you following along.

[@Bill7ist]

I have loved indy car my whole life. I am 58. I live in L.A. My first race i attended was 1985 LBGP. Mario dominated. I love Indy. I hope you have a great season and finish second to Colton

[@ConorDaly22]

love hearing that! haha thank you

[@mesoed]

Awesome interview!

[@ConorDaly22]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@nathanderover6929]

Oriol was always my favorite driver in ChampCar. He just seems like a really deep-thinking guy and a very calculated driver.

[@ConorDaly22]

He’s awesome. Such a great conversation. I could have asked so much more I feel like as well. Maybe we’ll have to have him on again!

[@austinmcmurtray6037]

It was nice to listen oriol servia this morning

[@ConorDaly22]

hes got a majestic voice! haha

[@austinmcmurtray6037]

@ConorDaly22 ya

[@kahlenestotts4933]

I loved this interview. I think fans, especially those of us who have been around a long time, would enjoy hearing from more drivers who no longer race. Fun to hear how things have changed for drivers. You said you don't understand why people hate Josef. Hate is a strong word but I have lost respect for and trust in him. His press conference after the disqualification started fine. He admitted they made a mistake and I thought that was a real class move. Then he said the team convinced themselves the rules had changed. I found it hard to believe that could happen with a team like Penske. Scott and Will both said they knew there was no rule change. Josef disrespected fans. Yes, he's doing good things for the visibility of Indycar but it will take time for me to forgive him.

[@ConorDaly22]

we will have to get some more drivers on from past eras for sure. i dont think josef disrespected fans at all i mean it's impossible for anyone to understand the situation he was in unless you're a competitor yourself. i think it was viewed a bit more aggressively than any other past situation where teams or drivers have been DQ'd. its not the first time something like this has happened and it wont be the last that's for sure! no one is justifying the actions. just trying to help people understand it wasnt some malicious act against certain people

[@kahlenestotts4933]

I appreciate your view. Thanks.

[@oldred9122]

Mike Joy in the IndyCar Fox booth? He needs to do the 500 at least once!

[@ConorDaly22]

Oh wow not sure we'll see that honestly! but i have faith they'll hire the right people

[@413TomaccoRoad]

Mike Joy was an IMSA broadcaster @ ESPN.before NASCAR.

[@ConorDaly22]

@@413TomaccoRoad oh I’m aware don’t worry haha. Just don’t think it would be the right fit quite yet

[@413TomaccoRoad]

​@@ConorDaly22I think he can be enough of a chameleon to make it good enough his first season and I'm sure he'll be immersing himself in all things Indy Car before his first Indy Car broadcast.

[@jordidm99]

Chip, give Oriol an Indy 500 ride!

[@ConorDaly22]

me and oriol as teammates there would be fun haha

[@IanTheMotorsportsMan_YT]

Since you got Oriol on the show, do you have any plans on the next retired drivers you want to interview? Happy 2025 btw, Conor!

[@ConorDaly22]

not sure who will be next honestly! I asked Oriol at 1am the night before we interviewed him hah

[@MattP-zt2uk]

44:08

[@ConorDaly22]

what a story haha

[@JD-bc2ls]

Conor love the show. Your interviews are great. One thing…uhhh…who appointed you The Circulation Police? It’s getting a little old. You’re not exactly setting the world on fire over a 10+ year career, either. And I know, I know…you haven’t always had the best equipment and there are stories behind the scenes that you can’t talk about, etc etc. But Sting Ray hasn’t had the best equipment. And Santino hasn’t had the best equipment…so you’re entering “who does this guy think he is” territory. Just say’in. A little less judgement of other drivers and not so much Circulation Police. Not a good look. Coming from a fan.

[@ConorDaly22]

i'm going to try and say this as respectfully as possible... the foyt cars were penske cars last year. and to compare me to sting ray is a wild one. both of our rookie years were with coyne... i'll let you go ahead and compare the results there. he's a great guy as i've said many times. and santino did a great job last year so not sure why you're bringing him into this. As a driver I know more than a fan, respectfully. so i'm trying to give you more information to maybe shape what you think more accurately. i'm not saying anything different to what most if not all others are thinking. saying i've had 10 years in indycar is also wildly inaccurate haha that's a bit off considering there were many years where i did just one or two races. but hey, hope this helps
