http://www.1070thefan.com/trackside/Home.aspxKevin Lee provides program information for "Trackside", heard Thursday nights on 1070 The Fan.en-usCopyright 2010, WFNI2-AMFri, 10 Sep 2010 20:21:13 GMTThu, 15 Jul 2010 16:21:23 GMT1http://emmisinteractive.comTrackside is tonight (Thursday July 15) from 7-9 eastern.  Emails are welcome at kevin@1070TheFan.com.The plan for the next generation IZOD IndyCar has been announced and as with most ideas, it is receiving mixed reviews.  I've not yet looked at reaction on Track Forum and other message boards, but I've been told there is a significant amount of negativity surrounding the announcement.There was a great deal of hype, anticipation and build-up to this announcement which has been discussed for at least two years.  Many were hoping and expecting to see exactly what the next generation IndyCar would look like and instead were given a concept without guarantees.  Many were hoping not only to see the next car, but wanted to see the next cars with open competition among chassis makers and engine manufacturers.I mentioned several weeks ago on Trackside that the reaction would not be good if the ...http://www.1070thefan.com/trackside/BlogEntry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10125890kevin@1070thefan.com (Kevin Lee)http://www.1070thefan.com/trackside/BlogEntry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10125890Thu, 15 Jul 2010 16:21:23 GMT“Trackside” is on Wednesday from 8-10 pm eastern this week (Wednesday July 7th).  Only one guest is scheduled, so we’ll have time to address more emails and possibly some phone calls.  Our guest is Scott Roembke, the General Manager of Rahal Letterman Racing.  While we’ll ask if there is any update on a Rahal Letterman IndyCar effort for Graham Rahal, most of the focus will be getting an insider’s perspective on a variety of topics. There is once again much to discuss.  Topics include:-Watkins Glen IZOD IndyCar Series race-Is Will Power going to cruise to the championship?-Milka Duno (no explanation needed)-Ryan Hunter-Reay’s full season deal-Adam Carroll’s debut and future with Andretti Autosport-The future of Watkins Glen in IndyCar-The rest of the 2011 schedule and a likely shift in how races are promoted (co-promoted)-24 races in the near future?-Any new insight on ...http://www.1070thefan.com/trackside/BlogEntry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10124430kevin@1070thefan.com (Kevin Lee)http://www.1070thefan.com/trackside/BlogEntry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10124430Wed, 07 Jul 2010 15:40:11 GMT"Trackside" is tonight (Thursday, July 1st) from 7-9 Eastern on 1070 The Fan and 1070TheFan.com. Facts are great, but often speculation and educated guesses (we hope they're somewhat educated) are much more fun.  The latter will be much of the focus tonight. We'll learn details about the next generation IndyCar in two weeks and so far there's been no leak as to which path Randy Bernard and the ICONIC committee are headed.  So, we'll try to connect some dots and make some guesses.  We'll also review the different chassis options and what we've learned.  The engine package is also part of the discussion.Shortly after the new car is unveiled, the next story off track will be next year's schedule.  We'll spend a little more time on that tonight and visit with Jerry Gappens, the New Hampshire Motor Speedway GM.  EJ Viso, fresh off a 3rd place finish at Iowa, ...http://www.1070thefan.com/trackside/BlogEntry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10123599kevin@1070thefan.com (Kevin Lee)http://www.1070thefan.com/trackside/BlogEntry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10123599Thu, 01 Jul 2010 18:43:23 GMTTrackside returns to Thursday for this week (June 10th), but we’ll continue to bounce around throughout the summer and will be on Tuesday the next two weeks (June 15th and 22nd). Even without guests tonight, we still would have more than enough to discuss.  But, we need to find out what Tony Kanaan thought of driving on dirt and if there are any lingering effects from Texas regarding his teammate, Danica Patrick.  Also, Simona de Silvestro has been very open about discussing her frightful :30-:40 seconds in a burning car after it stopped, so we’ll get her thoughts on the ordeal.  And Rick Mears was offered up to us at the last moment and we don’t turn away four-time winners of the Indianapolis 500.The race at Texas is worthy of an entire program:-Ryan Briscoe’s much-needed win.-Danica Patrick’s strongest run ever in an IndyCar (including her win).-A ...http://www.1070thefan.com/trackside/BlogEntry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10117986kevin@1070thefan.com (Kevin Lee)http://www.1070thefan.com/trackside/BlogEntry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10117986Thu, 10 Jun 2010 20:30:23 GMTOur studio producer Matt Hicks, along with 1070 The Fan Executive Producer Michael Grady and Stacy Paetz from the Indiana Pacers, took a ride in the IndyCar 2-seater on Thursday morning.Look for Matt a little over a minute into this video. http://www.1070thefan.com/trackside/BlogEntry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10114289kevin@1070thefan.com (Kevin Lee)http://www.1070thefan.com/trackside/BlogEntry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10114289Thu, 20 May 2010 21:42:03 GMT"Trackside" is tonight (Thursday April 29th) from 7-9 eastern.  Starting on Monday, we'll be on every weeknight from 7-8 throughout the Month of May.  The show will air at 8pm (after Indy Live) on Tuesday May 18th and Thursday the 20th.  The Talk of Gasoline Alley with Donald Davidson (and me as the talking head) begins on Monday May 3rd at 6pm.  Both shows will be live at The Pit Stop Barbecue in Brownsburg on Wednesday May 12th (although not certain if Donald will be there or in studio).  Podcasts will be available for "Trackside" and "TOGA." We'll again go light on guests tonight so we can cover as much as possible.  Two-time 500 winner Arie Luyendyk will be on the show and also Firestone Indy Lights driver Joel Miller.  There is only one full-time American in Lights (Charlie Kimball) and Miller (from California) is hoping to join him, at ...http://www.1070thefan.com/trackside/BlogEntry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10110514kevin@1070thefan.com (Kevin Lee)http://www.1070thefan.com/trackside/BlogEntry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10110514Thu, 29 Apr 2010 16:42:19 GMT "Trackside" is tonight (Wednesday April 21st from 8-10 eastern) because of Thursday's NFL Draft. We will go very light on guests because of the amount of information to cover. I would go guest-free, but I like James Hinchcliffe and want to have him on to discuss his first Firestone Indy Lights win. I have maintained that he is the type of personality that can help IndyCar grow, so it's good to see him get to Victory Lane (he won twice in Atlantics). Also, after a week in Washington DC with his son, Curt Cavin is back with us in studio tonight. Otherwise, we have lots of room for questions and comments via email at kevin@1070TheFan.com and on Twitter at KevinLee23. I suspect questions will help us cover much of the news. But, here are some of the other stories: -Impact of Ryan Hunter-Reay's win on his full-season chances. -Is Andretti ...http://www.1070thefan.com/trackside/BlogEntry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10109040kevin@1070thefan.com (Kevin Lee)http://www.1070thefan.com/trackside/BlogEntry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10109040Wed, 21 Apr 2010 17:23:42 GMTTonight is the April Fools edition of Trackside, but I promise there will be no false information passed along - at least intentionally.  There is plenty of real news and racing to discuss.  The IZOD IndyCar Series is coming off of another entertaining street race.  We'll recap St. Pete and I'll continue to rethink my preseason predictions concerning Will Power.  Another good story is Justin Wilson and Dreyer & Reinbold.  Team co-owner and Versus analyst Robbie Buhl will be on the show. There have also been a couple of more confirmations for Indy.  John Andretti will join us tonight to talk about joining his cousin's team for Indy and Kansas. We also have self-serving news to report.  We'll make a show-related announcement tonight (no, we're not being canceled yet).  As to the Twitter post concerning potentially big news, here is a more detailed explanation of what I know, don't know ...http://www.1070thefan.com/trackside/BlogEntry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10105533kevin@1070thefan.com (Kevin Lee)http://www.1070thefan.com/trackside/BlogEntry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10105533Thu, 01 Apr 2010 18:40:00 GMTAs always, there will be plenty to discuss tonight concerning the IZOD IndyCar Series.  We've again been treated to news on the day of the show with the announcement of ABC's Robin Roberts as this year's pace car driver for the 500.  Also this week, Robin Miller reports Graham Rahal is likely to return to Newman Haas Lanigan for the rest of the season after his 2-race run with Sarah Fisher.  The Indy Racing League is also forming a committee, led by a former Air Force general, to help choose the next generation IndyCar.  And next year's schedule is reportedly close to taking some form with Baltimore taking another step towards securing a race.Guests tonight include former 500 runner-up Scott Goodyear, who will begin his 5-race schedule as ABC's analyst at St. Pete.  Also, Just Marketing International founder and CEO Zak Brown will talk sponsorships and appropriately - marketing. ...http://www.1070thefan.com/trackside/BlogEntry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10104262kevin@1070thefan.com (Kevin Lee)http://www.1070thefan.com/trackside/BlogEntry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10104262Thu, 25 Mar 2010 17:10:24 GMTWe now have a race to talk about in the IZOD IndyCar Series!  And there's plenty to discuss:  season opener outside of US, a new event and venue, cancellation of quals because of a poor racing surface and the solution for race day, a first-turn melee, a red flag because of a rain storm, and most importantly - multiple passes on track for the lead late in the race.  The winner of the Sau Paulo Indy 300, Will Power, is scheduled to join us.  We'll also celebrate, as Jeff at MyNameisIRL noted, the ended of another long national nightmare - the return of Versus to those of us with DirecTV.  Along with the other items that come up, we may revisit some of Randy Bernard and Brian Barnhart's comments from last week's show.  We're only scheduling one guest tonight so we can (hopefully) get through quite a few emails and ...http://www.1070thefan.com/trackside/BlogEntry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10103126kevin@1070thefan.com (Kevin Lee)http://www.1070thefan.com/trackside/BlogEntry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10103126Thu, 18 Mar 2010 18:10:10 GMT
