And when you want to win and you 11 00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:32,400 Speaker 1: want to have greatness, why not have on your sideline 12 00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:34,519 Speaker 1: somebody that knows a little about both. He is the 13 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,520 Speaker 1: four time champion of the IndyCar Series, the reigning Indy 14 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:42,000 Speaker 1: five hundred champion, and he was wearing his Indiana Hoosiers 15 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:45,559 Speaker 1: jersey on the sidelines. Alex Polo is now an official 16 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,280 Speaker 1: Hoosier and he joins us on the Java House Peel 17 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:49,720 Speaker 1: and poor guest line, Alex, how are you? 18 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,159 Speaker 2: I'm great? I am the biggest Hoosier. 19 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 1: Now I'm listen. I want to get to this. There's 20 00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 1: a couple of things I want to talk to you about. 21 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 1: With this because I love you know, I'm here for it. 22 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 1: As the kids say, the first is and be honest, 23 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 1: you know you grew up just outside of Barcelona, Spain. 24 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 1: I would imagine that American football would not be amongst 25 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 1: the top sports of interest from a spectating standpoint during 26 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 1: your childhood. When did you become a football fan? Or 27 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:20,400 Speaker 1: is this still a work in progress? 28 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 2: You're right, I mean, honestly, I didn't even know it 29 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 2: existed when I was a kid. That's when I was 30 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 2: like a young kid in school. I only knew about 31 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,480 Speaker 2: basketball soccer. Soccer is the main ninety nine percent of 32 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 2: people in Spain play soccer. I found out obviously when 33 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 2: I was growing up and I had access to internet 34 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 2: and TV. But I did not understand the game, and 35 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 2: I did not understand the game for the first two 36 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 2: three years that I was here in the US, But 37 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 2: then started getting to the games at the Cold started 38 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 2: getting into it. Cold started to get really really good 39 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 2: and started to get fun, and I started getting interested. 40 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 2: So I would say the last three years I've been 41 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 2: following and learning, especially this year this year, it's it's 42 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 2: been amazing. 43 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,640 Speaker 1: Okay, so you have been to and I know you 44 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: were at a colts game because they did one time 45 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 1: the celebrity lookalike thing, and then they actually show you 46 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 1: in the crowd and everybody cheers, right. And then this 47 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 1: weekend you were at Indiana and you were there on 48 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 1: the sidelines for Indiana's really you know blowout. When of UCLA. 49 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 1: Do you have or have you noticed at all a 50 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 1: difference between the pro game and the college game, which 51 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: one you found yourself more liking. 52 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, So I had no idea that college football was 53 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 2: so big, So I'm not used to it. In Spain, college, well, 54 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,639 Speaker 2: college and sports, they don't go together like here in 55 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,520 Speaker 2: the US, which I think it's amazing that you have 56 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 2: that opportunity to do both at the same time. I 57 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 2: do both at the highest level. But so I went 58 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 2: to the game with expectations, basically because my neighbor got 59 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 2: me into watching you on Saturdays the past three weeks 60 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:20,799 Speaker 2: and he's a big, big fan, so I already knew 61 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 2: a little bit. But honestly, the experience, the event, the 62 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 2: atmosphere was ten times better than I thought that it 63 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 2: was going to be. I had so much fun. The 64 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 2: game was super fast. I just felt like there was 65 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 2: a lot more plays that I did not expect or 66 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 2: you would see. Yeah, just a lot more action than 67 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 2: at some CALLS games. So I really liked it. I 68 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 2: had the best time. I think I was at the 69 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 2: game that was probably one of the best, with the 70 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 2: margins that we won, with how good the team was playing, 71 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 2: and all the fans, how excited they were. But yeah, 72 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 2: I just had the best Saturday, honestly. 73 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: So here's it's funny. I was I was talking to 74 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 1: Buddy Mine that that was kind of your I don't 75 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: know if I would say your host, but but a 76 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: guy that I grew up around, Jeremy Gray is his name, 77 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: and he works for IU and his wife had lived 78 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: in Barcelona, and I think was maybe talking to your 79 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 1: wife a little bit, and Jeremy told me that at 80 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: one point during the game that you said, like, and 81 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 1: I'm paraphrasing here, but basically you said, you know, I 82 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 1: feel kind of bad for these UCLA guys. And Jeremy said, yeah, 83 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 1: but I mean, do you feel bad when you've led 84 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 1: the Let you know, if you're leading the field by 85 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: two laps And Jeremy said that you said, well, yeah, 86 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: but I mean I'm not hurting those guys like Indiana's 87 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:40,600 Speaker 1: hurting these guys, right, it's a collision sport, right. I 88 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,039 Speaker 1: mean you had to have like so up close and 89 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 1: up personal. Is that a true recount of what your 90 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 1: emotion was watching that? 91 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 2: Yeah? He was, he was, and it was it was 92 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:56,599 Speaker 2: very fun. And I mean when when they were playing 93 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,359 Speaker 2: so good, they just felt like we were able to 94 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,919 Speaker 2: move the ball wherever we wanted. We were able to 95 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:07,159 Speaker 2: get touchdowns almost every time, and UCLA wasn't able to. 96 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 2: So I just, yeah, I was laughing a little bit 97 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 2: and being a bit funny. But I mean these guys, 98 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 2: these guys are crazy, all of them. Like they have 99 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 2: a lot of contact, Like they get two hundred and 100 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 2: fifty pounds of people on top of them and they 101 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 2: stand out, stand up again in like two seconds and 102 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,479 Speaker 2: they are ready to go again. And I just feel 103 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 2: like it's so hard to do that. Like I would 104 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 2: not be able to do that if I get somebody 105 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 2: hitting me or trying to get me to the ground 106 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 2: that fast. 107 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,719 Speaker 1: So yeah, Alex, I don't know if anybody's told you 108 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:43,480 Speaker 1: this or not, but you drive two hundred and thirty 109 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 1: eight miles an hour eight inches from a concrete wall, 110 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: you know, Okay. 111 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 2: But that's not the same. I don't have somebody trying 112 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:56,039 Speaker 2: to kill me because I'm carrying a football. That yeah, 113 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 2: I mean, I find it fascinating. I think I am 114 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 2: very lucky to do what I do. I don't have 115 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,840 Speaker 2: I have people trying to chase me, or I'm trying 116 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,119 Speaker 2: to chase people, but when I get there, I pass 117 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:11,279 Speaker 2: them and on a polite way. And it's not like football. 118 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,720 Speaker 2: But honestly, it's amazing. It's amazing to see the game 119 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,839 Speaker 2: and once you understand it, once you're able to cheer 120 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,160 Speaker 2: for teams like the IU or the calls that I 121 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 2: are doing so amazing this year. It just makes it 122 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 2: so fun to be part of. 123 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,160 Speaker 1: Alex blows my guest on the Java House Peel and 124 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 1: poor guest line of course, Polo driving car number ten 125 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,239 Speaker 1: for Chip Ganassi Racing and the reigning Indy five hundred 126 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 1: winner and IndyCar Champion. Alex. You know, when you won 127 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 1: the five hundred, you came to the Pacer game. It 128 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 1: was pretty awesome. You know, you still had the wreath on, 129 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 1: some of the flowers were off of it. We talked, 130 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:48,039 Speaker 1: you know after shortly after that, but I'm curious of this. 131 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: You know, you grew up in one of the most 132 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 1: beautiful regions of the world, you know, outside of Barcelona, 133 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 1: and I've been there and it's it's absolutely gorgeous. The 134 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,839 Speaker 1: people are fascinating and awesome and fun. And yet you 135 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 1: come to Indianapolis and you have really, seemingly in the 136 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 1: last year, maybe even last six months, really dove into 137 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: the culture here, going to the games, being a part 138 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: of it, soaking in the Pacer Games, and really doing 139 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: anything that's asked in terms of going out and just 140 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 1: trying to grow the sport and grow you know, your 141 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,119 Speaker 1: name in general. Why is that? Why do you feel 142 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 1: the obligation to do all of those things and soak 143 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 1: it all in. 144 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say it's been before that, like it's 145 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 2: and it's not an obligation. I push for it, like 146 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 2: I pushed to try and get to the Pacer Games 147 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 2: or to the calls or to the IU. Honestly, it 148 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 2: was a yeah, they just told me if I wanted, 149 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 2: and I was like, absolutely, But it's not an obligation 150 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 2: for me. It's a privilege that I get to do 151 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 2: these things, like I've been going I would say at 152 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 2: least twice a year for the past years, but this 153 00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 2: year already been to like three CALS games too, like 154 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 2: one I you not to the Pacers yet for this season, 155 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 2: but I am. I love it. I feel that the 156 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 2: city has welcomed me and they give me the opportunity 157 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 2: to be part of And I love Barcelona.

So I don't know if 165 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 2: it's going to be for the next fifty years or 166 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 2: twenty five, but this is our home and I'm just 167 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 2: enjoying it as much as possible. And it's been super easy. 168 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 2: It's been super easy because the city has been welcoming, 169 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,840 Speaker 2: super happily. So yeah, it's been fun. 170 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: Okay, lastly, when you drive, I'm curious of this. You know. 171 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 1: I drive past the speedway fairly often. I mean sometimes 172 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:03,319 Speaker 1: buy intent and sometimes I just happen to be on 173 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 1: the west side and I drive past it, and you know, 174 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 1: every once in a while just stop and I look 175 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 1: at the size of the venue, and you know, you 176 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 1: can go past Lucas Oil Stadium, you can go past 177 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 1: Gambridge Field House, you can go past Memorial Stadium in 178 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:19,199 Speaker 1: Bloomington and see and think like wow, like big games 179 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 1: take place there. Does it really has it sunk into you? 180 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 1: Does it? Do you grasp it when you drive past 181 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and think to yourself, currently I 182 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:31,320 Speaker 1: own that place. 183 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 2: Maybe not in that phrase, but yeah, yeah, I every 184 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,320 Speaker 2: time I'm there, I'm like, man, I cannot wait for 185 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 2: may to have people because I think that's like all events, 186 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 2: but especially if the five hundred. What makes it feel 187 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 2: so big and so good. It's it's whenever you see 188 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 2: so many fans and the atmosphere they bring. So I 189 00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 2: cannot wait to be the winner. But once the people 190 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,440 Speaker 2: are in, and once you see people that they want 191 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 2: to take a picture with you, and they give you 192 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 2: all that good energy because you just won eleven or 193 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 2: twelve months ago. So I cannot wait for me, honestly, 194 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 2: and to celebrate my first may or rate, my first 195 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:20,080 Speaker 2: seventy five hundred as a winner. 196 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,199 Speaker 1: Now, what makes you nervous anything. 197 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,239 Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lot of stuff that makes me nervous, 198 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,559 Speaker 2: like what I'm gonna eat for dinner, my wife, if 199 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 2: I've done something wrong. 200 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:36,080 Speaker 1: There's a lot of stuff what I'm gonna eat for dinner, 201 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: the trials, and well, I hate to say trials, that's 202 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 1: probably the wrong word to say there, Alex. Right, we 203 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 1: know that there's that going on, and that seemingly you've 204 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,679 Speaker 1: been able to stay focused with all of that. And 205 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,680 Speaker 1: I guess lastly, I would be remiss if I didn't 206 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 1: ask in terms of the trial with the contract stuff 207 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 1: that has seemingly never bothered you. But and I don't 208 00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 1: even know, so my parton my ignorance on asking this. 209 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 1: Do we know when we get a resolution with all 210 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 1: of that? 211 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:07,959 Speaker 2: It's still ongoing, but I would say beginning of next year. 212 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,560 Speaker 2: I still don't really know. So I've spent some time 213 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 2: in the UK. I wouldn't say that it doesn't bother 214 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,960 Speaker 2: it does. I mean it's important, but I mean when 215 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 2: it comes to racing, at the end of the day, 216 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 2: my job is just to drive racing car as fast 217 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:28,320 Speaker 2: as they can and deliver results. So yeah, that's not 218 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 2: been taking Let's say a performance out of it. So yeah, 219 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 2: I mean, hopefully it's sold as soon as as possible 220 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 2: so we can get that behind But it's been good 221 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 2: now going into into trial and tell our story for 222 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,679 Speaker 2: the first time instead of always saying that I couldn't 223 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,079 Speaker 2: really comment, So yeah, I cannot really wait until it's 224 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 2: over and it's off and we can get that behind us. 225 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 1: So you are officially now a Hoosier. So and look 226 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,679 Speaker 1: there's around here, like people around here they're like, look, 227 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,840 Speaker 1: I you Purdue. It's a big rivalry. I'm just gonna 228 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 1: go ahead and say it. You loved your time at IU, 229 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:11,079 Speaker 1: but you're a Purdue fan as well, right, I. 230 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,439 Speaker 2: Am not really gonna comment on that because I've never 231 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 2: been to Purdue. 232 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 1: So well, well, I have to get your Prue next, right. 233 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 2: I guess I'll need to see uh and then I 234 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 2: can compare it. Yes, I would. I would say that, yes, absolutely. 235 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 1: Lots of engineers at Produce, so you probably can relate 236 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 1: to a lot of them. Alex. I'm glad you had 237 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: a good time down there, man, and you did a 238 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 1: great job representing the series and representing uh, just your 239 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 1: team and all of it. And it looked like you 240 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 1: had a lot of fun. So I'm certainly appreciative of 241 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,679 Speaker 1: your time today and and sharing in the fun, and 242 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:44,080 Speaker 1: we'll see if we can get you out do a 243 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:44,960 Speaker 1: Colts game as well. 244 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 2: Absolutely, thank you so much, guys. 245 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 1: All right, Alex Plow joining us on the Java House 246 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,720 Speaker 1: Peel and Poor Guest line. And for those that are unfamiliar, 247 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 1: the lawsuit of which I spoke is simply the fact 248 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:58,559 Speaker 1: that he had signed a contract with McLaren Racing and 249 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 1: then turns out the he still had time left on 250 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:05,479 Speaker 1: his contract with Ganassi Racing, and then there were contractual 251 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 1: legalities back and forth that has led him to court 252 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 1: over in England with McLaren and figuring out where all 253 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,080 Speaker 1: of that shakes out. And again he has been completely 254 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 1: unflappable in that regard and super nice guy, super nice guy, 255 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 1: and Indiana I think really enjoyed having him down there. I 256 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: do know that from the IU standpoint and then having 257 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 1: the milk chugging contest on Fox and everything that goes 258 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 1: into it, represented himself extremely extremely well.
