For this week’s episode of Bringing the Heat With Bryan Nolen, Frontstretch’s Michael Massie gets an exclusive interview with the newest Indianapolis 500 winner, Alex Palou.
Massie and Palou discuss the Spaniard’s historic win along with his hot start to the the 2025 NTT IndyCar Series season.
Alex Gintz also joins the program to discuss the latest happenings around the sport.
The soundbite of the week comes courtesy of William Byron. The driver of the No. 24 dominated a majority of the Coca-Cola 600 but fell short to Ross Chastain.
Byron talks about the racing around him and whether or not that played a factor in him not capturing the checkered flag.
