    Episode 13: The Last Four Races

    We exceed the Damaged Vehicle Policy clock on this one but we did have four entire races to cover...including the longest race in the history of racing. If you think its dragging on for too long, we suggest making some homemade butter to pass the time. During unlucky Episode #13, we cover the very confusing "Free Pizzagate" of 2022, which INDYCAR driver Sarah hates, and which NASCAR driver she would date. To make things more exciting, bets are made and Scott Dixon will owe one of us coffee by the end of next weekend. We're all for double screen Sundays and the 1-10 rating scale so be sure to leave us a good review! The Indianapolis 500, The Coca Cola 600, The Detroit GP on Belle Isle for one final time, and the Cup Series at World Wide Technology Raceway for the first time are all covered here!

    Episode 12: The All Star Race

    It’s the Ryan Blaney episode or, as normal podcasters might call it, episode 12! Blaney really did us a favor by finding victory lane on Sunday night at the All Star Race, making this recording very nice…so nice, he won it twice. And speaking off winners, shockingly enough, Sarah does not pick her favorite IndyCar driver, Colton Herta, to win this year’s Indianapolis 500. You should tune in to hear who she thinks will kiss those bricks on Sunday. If that’s not incentive enough to listen, the Thinking Straightly crew does some quality impersonations of impressionists impersonating drivers during this episode because that felt necessary to share with the public. Heather joins the show to voice her frustration with a specific driver’s merchandise provider in comparison to the fastest guy on track and with shipping, Alex Bowman. To tie up the episode like a window net, we discuss just how much produce could be bought with a million dollars and a non-points race happened. Enjoy!

    Episode 11: Kansas

    We could make a hundred excuses as to why our podcast went from weekly to monthly, but the real reason we’re so behind is because our tow truck got stuck in the grass. But don’t worry, we only mention that once or twice. We’re back! And more energized than ever to catch up and bring you our eleventh episode…even Ian was nice enough to return to the crew! During this episode, Sarah takes all of her bottled up anger towards racetrack security workers out on the mighty Midwest. Kansas listeners, this one’s for you but we apologize in advance. We recap our great Dover tailgate, Chase Elliott’s Monday win, Darlington throwback schemes, as well as the beef between Byron and Logano. And, well, you can’t have a racing podcast during the Month of May without mentioning IndyCars on track at IMS. One Thinking Straightly host correctly predicts the winner at Kansas and by the end of the episode, one thing is for certain: this group will never leave a track until we’ve received the official word from Bob that it is safe to do so. Tap your shoes together three times and give it a listen!

    Episode 10: Talladega

    Recorded live from wild and wonderful West Virginia, the Thinking Straightly Crew talk about "turning up, slowing down, and cars that go real fast" in this week's Talladega episode. However, maybe we should leave the singing to Eric Church. With the month of May right around the corner, an INDYCAR segment felt appropriate to add before catching up on the Cup Series. All of the preparation for this year's Indianapolis 500 have Becca and Sarah feeling very nostalgic and eager to get back to IMS one day. Is it too early to predict who will kiss the bricks? What will become of Alexander Rossi at the end of this year? During this episode an unannounced guest poses a challenging question to one of our hosts in regards to a particular points race on a dirt track...you know the one. Eventually we move on to discuss the main event, the "Big One" as they say. With Talladega delivering an unpredictable race to the finish, even submitting Clint's Stage 2 Contest picks as a group did not help us win the cash. With no such luck, it looks like we will have to charge admission to Sarah's Birthday Party. But don't worry, there will be plenty of watermelon to go around. We know a guy.

    Episode 9: The 22-Hours of Martinsville

    This is an episode of firsts! It's the breakdown of our first in-person race of 2022, the first episode where one of us correctly picks a race winner, and the first episode with a special guest...welcome Ian Lee! Fresh off of a 22-hour race day in Martinsville, the Thinking Straightly Crew dives right in with early morning wakeup calls, the woes of checking into a hotel early, the Pre-Race Experience, and the famous Martinsville hotdog. We also divulge more information about track bathrooms and proper paper towel etiquette than is necessary. But don't worry, even after all that and only a few hours of sleep, we still had time to talk about the race itself. INDYCAR as well! We experienced extreme levels of exhaustion and extreme levels of frigidness that you can't miss during the Chase Elliott episode! Episode #9-a night race at the Paperclip!

    Episode 8: Richmond

    Unfortunately, this will be the last episode of Thinking Straightly. After the heavy penalty assessed to Chase Elliott and the #9 Team this week, Michael and Sarah can simply take no more of Becca's dejected mood. APRIL FOOLS! It is no joke however that Michael, for the first time ever, does not choose Chase Elliott as his race winning pick on Sunday. Also during this episode, Sarah makes a very bold playoff prediction after taking a look at the points breakdown after Richmond. Speaking of Richmond, it was the first official short track race of the season and, let's just say, we are really looking forward to putting it behind us and heading to Martinsville! To keep things entertaining, "The Interview Game" is introduced and Sarah leaves us with her list of driver nicknames. They may or may not be as cringey as Fox's Pre-Race Show. Take notes...there will be a quiz!

    Episode 7: COTA

    It’s the longest recording yet but only because Michael felt the need to keep reminding everyone that he is the only Thinking Straightly host who has been to COTA and has smelled the track. Yes, you read that correctly. Fitting in with the duration of the episode, The Circuit of the Americas delivered what felt like the most prolonged 68 laps, consisting of both right and left turns, with a pretty exciting overtime finish. However, does an exciting finish qualify a race as a good one? Becca and Sarah have the answer and more as they breakdown the final results from COTA…not to be confused with CODA: the recipient of Best Picture at the this year’s Oscars which also took place on Sunday. We talk about those too…no wonder Michael disappears.

    Episode 6: New Atlanta and Old Texas

    It’s no coincidence that the 6th Episode of Thinking Straightly celebrates the 600th Team Penske win brought to you by Josef Newgarden. We totally planned it that way…and Josef, if you’re listening, we owe you one. None of our picks came out victorious over the weekend but Atlanta is a Super Speedway and Texas finally delivered a good INDYCAR race so there was much to unpack! During this episode, we discuss track conditions, forbidden formulas, and we ask a very important question about our trip to Martinsville. Halfway through the episode, Michael disappears but only after calling Denny Hamlin out for not Thinking Straightly. What else is new? Sarah and Becca hold their own to wrap up the show by breaking down the final laps from both races. It's safe to say that our hearts were racing almost as fast as the cars.
