Off Track With Hinch And Rossi

The guys are all together again! They talk about where they are in the season, then welcome the very special guest, Robert Wickens. They talk about Robbie's return to a racetrack, before Alex and Thim definitively win the argument about the absurdity of Canadian money (in a non-controversial way). Then James and Robbie talk about the importance of the Toronto race to them.+++Follow us on Twitter at @askofftrack.

Rossi's enjoying a well earned break, but Hinch and Thim recap Road America, and talk about where the season stands, now. Then, author (and brother of Hinch), Christopher Hinchcliffe joins the show to talk about the application of rules in F1, and dives in a discussion about what the role of the stewards should be, and how rules should be applied. We dive into the weeds a bit on this one, so we hope the real racing fans will enjoy it!+++Follow us on Twitter at @askofftrack.

Hinch is taking a much needed, mid-season, vacation, so Alex and Thim check in from Indianapolis. A lot has happened since we last talked, so we recap the Indy 500, both Detroit races, and Texas. A lot of people are curious about what it takes for a driver to stay in shape to race in IndyCar, so we sat down with PitFit's own, Jim Leo to go into the methods behind the madness.

Our 2nd annual Carb Day Live Show! We sat down at the Honda Fan Zone, in the in-field at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway! First, Chris Perkins is in the medical field, and won the chance to join us on the podcast at Hinch's Stop and Go Foundation Charity Auction, which was great for us, because he's an awesome guest!

During the Kaiser interview, NBC jumped on stage, and broke in during their live "NASCAR America" live broadcast.

Bryan Herta comes on Off Track to talk about his sons surprising win at COTA, as well as his time coming up as a driver, including the front row view he got on Mario Andretti and Nigel Mansell's rivalry. Then the guys dive into Thim's absolute favorite flight ever.

Rossi is prepping for Sebring, but Hinch is on vacation with Marco Andretti and Robbie Wickens so Thim calls in for a chat with Robbie {Marco's napping}, and Thim is asking the important questions. (00:01 - 04:03). Not doing a breakdown of this conversation, Hinch and Robbie talk about the realities of Robbie's life post-injury, his recovery, his plans for the future, and what they can both relate to having gone through serious accidents, plus we do a shameless plug for Conor Daly and Jim Ayello's new podcast {link below ;-) } so listen without the cliffnotes (04:04 - 30:45). Thim plugs another podcast he went on about being a single father {Mother F***ers: A Parenting Podcast!} (30:46-31:24) Credits (31:25 - 32:12).+++Follow us on Twitter at @askofftrack.

The guys enjoy their breakfast, and a distinct lack of Thim, who is missing this week {spoiler alert, he's asleep/hungover} (00:01 - 02:40). The guys talk about Thim's unexpected skills at Monopoly, and other weird jobs you can get out there (02:41 - 10:00). Alex talks about how much he's been testing in Sebring lately, which leads to the guys discussing the highlights of their careers so far, and what they expect in the upcoming season (10:01 - 22:28). The guys talk about what's going on outside of racing, and James has some important wedding news for Alex (22:29 - 29:07). Outro and credits (29:08 - 29:58).+++Follow us on Twitter at @askofftrack.

Hinch, Rossi, and Thim are back, though all remotely from separate cities, so excuse some issues with the audio (00:01 - 01:10). Alex recaps his time at Dayton, Hinch talks about his time at the NHL All-Star game, and the guys discuss what an IndyCar All-Star event would comprise of (01:11 - 07:05).

Hinch wants Thim to fly to San Jose to join him at the Honda NHL All-Star Game, but Thim can't fly out with only a day's notice (00:01 - 01:11). Just kidding, Thim literally hopped on a plane the next day, and flew to San Jose (01:12 - 01:43). Rossi's racing in Daytona, so it's just James and Thim this week, as guests of Honda at the NHL All-Star Game, and they're interviewing people in a 2019 Honda Passport, inside the Fan Village (01:44 - 05:11). The first guest to jump in the car with James is Dan Rusanowsky, the voice of the San Jose Sharks, and occasional INDYCAR Radio commentator (05:12 - 19:44). Next is Thomas Chabot, an All-Star player from the Ottawa Senators (19:45 - 29:25). Last, but certainly not least, Hinch's new teammate, Marcus Ericsson, chats hockey, IndyCar, and even plays a fun game with James and Thim (29:26 - 43:32).

Hinch, Rossi, and Thim are back, and they're here to shoot the breeze about their holidays, the ROAR Before the 24, and Thim's unfortunate chest hair (00:01 - 18:04). Thim asks the guys if they ever have any racing specific recurring nightmares and Alex talks about oversleeping on the morning of a race (18:05 - 26:46).

We're back! Thanks for bearing with us through a short break (00:01 - 03:52). It's Thanksgiving, so rather than complain about things that grind our gears, we're talking about what we're thankful for (03:53 - 10:10). Thim and Alex also talk about their holiday traditions (10:11 - 13:00) Obviously, American Thanksgiving is better than Canadian Thanksgiving, plus World Wars, Super Bowls, and landing on the moon (13:01 - 15:10). Alex takes us through his experience at the Baja 1000, including his close call with a spectator's car, and why he loves the race/will any IndyCar driver ever be allowed to run it again? (15:11 - 31:05). We're all very happy and proud of Rob for taking his first steps this week, see you all soon (31:06 - 31:43) Outro and Credits (31:44 - 32:33)+++Follow us on Twitter at @askofftrack.To buy a #GetWellWickens sticker and or shirt, visit Toronto Motorsports, all proceeds go to Sam Schmidt's Conquer Paralysis Now Foundation.+++The music you heard in this episode comes from:Ryan Dann of Holla

Alex has the flu, but Thim is more than happy to fill in for him, even if James isn't happy about it all (00:01 - 04:44). Living legend, and father of a veritable litter of children, Tony Kanaan made his way to Hinchtown to sit down and chat (04:45 - 05:27). Tony tells James about his experiences doing Ironman races, and just how long he's been in IndyCar; hint, it's a weird feeling to race against former teammates' kids (05:28 - 08:08). TK talks about adjusting to moving from Miami to Indy full time (08:09 - 10:57). James and Tony talk about how TK got into racing in the first place {which is amazing, considering Tony was already a teenager before the automobile was even invented}, and how his father's passing played a huge role in his career (10:58 - 14:00). Tony credits Hinch with curing him of his superstitions (14:01 - 17:36). James asks Tony how he is off the track, in his life as a father, and if he has any plans for more kids {hint: Tony's nipping... er snipping it in the bud} (17:37 - 20:57). Tony ta

The guys are back to bring you an interview with Red Bull Tricker, Bailey Payne! Hinch couldn't stick around for the interview, but he's there for the segments, and Conor Daly subs in (00:01 - 02:33). Uber: driver etiquette, rider etiquette, Thim's weird thing about sitting in the front, and Alex's aversion to talking with anyone, ever! Catch it all on this Grinds My Gears! (02:34 - 10:03). Bailey Payne joins Alex, Thim, and Conor to walk them through what "Tricking" is, how he got linked up with Red Bull, and how far a human can fall from {don't try this at home!} (10:04 - 33:06).

The Season is over, but we're still going strong at Off Track (00:01 - 00:27). Alex and James talk about what they've done since Sonoma: some traveling, a Spartan race, just your standard everyday life of an IndyCar driver (00:28 - 09:09). Next, the guys go into what they have planned for the not-so-down-down-time (09:10 - 14:46). Have you rated Off Track, yet? Get on it! (14:47 - 15:35). Grinds my gears!

Alex and James are here to talk about the amazing products offered by Dollar Shave Club again (04:09 - 05:14).

What exactly do you owe people in a conversation? (05:15 - 13:20). Producer Thim tells you about another podcast you should be listening to, (13:21 - 14:05). Alex and James talk about the season they've had, and how Alex feels heading into the last race of the season, with a shot at the championship, plus COTA next year, am I right? (14:06 - 21:22). James has a message for his friend Robbie Wickens, we all love you Robbie, and wish you the best in your recovery (21:23 - 21:40) Outro and Credits (21:41 - 23:03)+++Off Track is brought to you by Dollar Shave Club.
