This week on The Fan Midday Show we’ll be talking with a number of drivers preparing for Sunday’s 107th Running of the Indianapolis 500. 

Wednesday on The Fan Midday Show featured two different driver perspectives; years of experience vs second time starter hungry to make an impact.

First we spoke with Indy’s own and Butler’s finest Ed Carpenter of Ed Carpenter Racing who will make his 20th Indy 500 start this weekend.

During our conversation Ed talked with us on:

  • how life has put things in perspective as he continues to chase his dream of winning the 500
  • if he ever thought as a child he could own his own IndyCar team
  • what he’s learned the most in throughout his career
  • where he can best attack on Sunday to finally capture the Borg-Warner Trophy
  • the difference in his day to day work as a driver and as an owner

Then, we caught up with Kyle Kirkwood of Andretti Autosport who is preparing to make his second ever start in the greatest spectacle in racing.

Over the course of our chat Kyle discussed:

  • the differences driving for Andretti Autosport compared to driving with AJ Foyt Racing last year
  • how important earning his first career win was last month in the Grand Prix of Long Beach
  • what he likes most about his car
  • what he learned in his Indy 500 debut last year that will most help him on Sunday
  • why people should pick him to win the 107th Running of the Indianapolis 500
