Michael Young or, “The Track Dude” joins JMV to talk all about the Indianapolis 500 and what it was like broadcasting such a thrilling race. Michael also breaks down the intense battle between Pagenaud and Rossi.
On broadcasting the Indy 500:
“It was a real out of body experience. I know I was doing it, it was happening, but it wasn’t like I was really…I don’t know if that makes sense. It’s just so neat. I get goosebumps listening to us. Even though I was doing it, I got goosebumps. It was insanely fun and so cool. It was such an honor.”
On the showdown between Pagenaud and Rossi:
“The cat and mouse between Rossi and Simon Pagenaud — hats off to SImon. He drove a hell of a race. And Alexander Rossi — I thougt he was going to win. The Chevy engines down that straight away were so much better than the Hondas. Rossi is a star and how can you not like Simon Pagenaud? That ranks right up there in the top five for me.”
