Oriol Servia has been an IndyCar driver for over 15 years, proving that a random guy from Catalonia can make it if he’s actually a good person… which this guy is. Topics covered include the movie Navy Seals vs. Zombies, the movie Oldboy, and extensive further discussions of pissing in race seats. Dinner was courtesy of Tsukiji Sushi Sen in Santa Monica, with the music of Citizen Cope sending us out. Thanks to Continental Tire for the continued support.

CJ Wilson is not only a bad-ass All-Star pitcher, but the Anaheim Angels star also owns a championship-winning race team, and the dude just loves cars. Random series of conversations include passenger-seat coaching, how baseball works, and an endless series of impressions. Lunch was served at Las Barcas in Huntington Beach, California, with the music of Stoney Spring sending us out. Thanks to Continental Tire for the continued support.

The “SpeedFreaks” are used to being the ones running the interview, so we decided to put them on the other side of the microphone for a change. Having run various iterations of their motorsport talkshow for over a decade, we learn that the fights between Kenny Sargent and co-host/wife Crash Gladys are real, Kenny loves discussing scabs and urine, and we’d be subpoenaed if Ralf Schumacher ever disappeared. Lunch was courtesy of the Hillside Spot in Phoenix, Arizona, with the music of Slightly Stoopid sending us out. Thanks to Continental Tire for being supporters of both shows!

Patrick Long is the lone American Works driver for Porsche, which is too bad considering they’ll likely drop him after hearing this. Great conversation including doing stupid stuff when you’re young (or in your 30’s), life as a new Dad, and proof that he’s a master impressionist. Brunch was courtesy of Deus Ex Machina in Venice, California, with the music of The Grouch & Eligh sending us out. Thanks to Continental Tire for their continued support.

Jeff Braun is one of the most experienced and respected engineers in all of motorsports, and now we know why. Not only does this guy have incredible stories, but the dude literally lives in his race shop in Ovalo, Texas (see: middle of nowhere). Dinner was served in his kitchen courtesy of Jeff and his wife, Diane, with the music of Double Naught Spycar playing us out. Thanks to Continental Tire for making this all possible.

Our first special edition! After Jeff Braun talked for nearly an hour on the various projects of Level 5 Motorsports, we decided this had to be a stand-alone piece. We won’t get in to the history of Level 5 here, but just imagine if you had a team owner who gave you a virtually unlimited budget to just go out and do things exactly as you’d always wanted to…. with music sending us out courtesy of The Aggrolites. Thanks to Continental Tire for making this all possible.

Dinner was served at Zuma Sushi in Atlanta, with the music of Citizen Cope (available on iTunes) sending us out. Thanks to Continental Tire for making this all possible

Driver Spencer Pumpelly and his father, Tom, a former driver himself, discuss vehicular manslaughter, flipping busses, being homeless, and the dynamic of a father and son in racing. While Tom was a star of IMSA racing in the ’80’s, the apple didn’t fall too far from the tree (on the track) with Spencer’s two wins at The Rolex 24 at Daytona. Lunch was served at Raging Burrit

Top Gear USA hosts Rutledge Wood and Tanner Foust ramble on for two hours about everything from arriving hung over on set, to dance pants, to witnessing a rat run across the floor mid-conversation. Dinner (pizza) was served at an undisclosed hotel in northern Los Angeles county, with music from I See Hawks in LA (available on iTunes) closing us out. Thanks to Continental Tire for making this all possible.
