why is the audio for the interview so low compared to the driving footage? I get freaked out when I turn up the vol to listen to the interview and all of a sudden the driving footage appears :\

[Foltz22]

Awesome. First video I liked with Leo, he's a good interviewer. Have him do that more often.

[vortexflier]

that was an important corner, that was the one with the bit of rubber that came off. that was were i was sitting, and before it came apart, i could see that when the cars ran over it, the rubber would jump nealy a foot in the air.

I would love to see the older design, I was surprised they didn't use it this because I would have thought they would want to promote the most passing out of the gate. As a resident of Michigan I can attest to the poor road work. In some places its a bit like Sebring for a street car.

Drive has come to replace Speed Channel for me (Besides watching the races themselves). I'm not a nascar fan. You guys are right on the money with the content. Also, the insight you guys give is not something you can find on network TV.

[LeoParente]

Sorry I missed you. Ignore that look the next time. Yea, DTWGP was an avoidable mess, even if the standard line now is that the rubber patching is how Michigan repairs their roads - THIS was to be a racetrack! But, RPenske event team will have it right next year + I hear the track config will be returned to an older design to create at least 1 more passing zone.

Really solid vid. Better than any other interviews you'll see from other media outfits, but racing is 6-ft under so traffic is hard to come by.

[LeoParente]

Think I can [at least a big part of it] and I'm not talking publically about it! That said, 1st test - Changed the vid Cover Image + Title 2 see how that drives [more] views in YT world. But as always, content matters, too [+ this vid is too short. Trust me there was more.]

Also, SD [I] need 2 work on networking distribution [eg; get more people 2 share the vids / more sites to embed SD]. So, SD Nation, if you like what we're doing, anything you can do 2 help, will help. Thanks, as always.

Leo your interviews are they only ones I feel like I learned something I think your experience racing makes all the difference vs the standard the car is really good, sponsor, sponsor, sponsor, hi to the family back home. Thank you !

I saw Leo walking at the Andretti / Penske end of the paddock that morning. I was thinking "Hey, was that just Leo?" Lol, I would have said hi but the man looked like he was on a mission. So yeah, guess that let's the cat out of the bag, I was at Belle Isle and really enjoyed myself. I thought it was all fantastic right up until the track problem. It pissed me off because it was the first Indy race I attended and was having great fun and badly wanted to see it run the remaining 1/3rd!
