The Covid19 shutdown still has race teams such as Meyer Shank Racing parked. But team owner Mike Shank is cautiously optimistic the IndyCar season can begin June 6 at Texas. He's raring to go, because as he recalls in this episode, racing has been his passion since he was 5 years old.

At Speed: Auto Racing with Michael Shank and Tim May

Ep 8: Exploring possibilities of racing soon

Welcome to At Speed with Michael Shank and Tim May presented by Rocky Fork Company. This is a podcast centering on the exploits of Meyer Shank Racing and branching into discussions about the IndyCar Series and IMSA sports car series in particular, and all auto racing in general. The Pataskala, Ohio-based MSR has full time entries in both IndyCar and IMSA this 2020 season. What makes this interesting is Shank, former driver turned full-time team owner in the late 1990s, has never shied from speaking his mind. And his relationship with May, who started covering motorsports in the early 1980s, goes back decades. What they talked about off the record from time to time through the year just might find itself on the audio now. And it promises to be a riveting season on track for MSR, co-owned by Sirius-XM Radio CEO Jim Meyer, so there should be plenty to discuss -- and with the hammer down -- on At Speed.
