Short Tracks, Big News & Minardi Memories

This week on Historic Hot Laps, we’ve got a jam-packed slate of racing action and stories. We kick things off with a deep dive into the drama of NASCAR’s playoff cut-off weekend at Bristol, where tempers flared and dreams ended under the lights. Then we hit the dirt to recap the weekend’s battles from both the World of Outlaws and the Kubota High Limit Sprint series, breaking down the standout drives and rivalries heating up.


From there, it’s time for some big-picture news: the freshly released 2026 IndyCar schedule — new tracks, returning ovals, and the shake-ups fans are buzzing about. And to cap it all off, we head back in time for a fun, detailed look at the legendary underdog story of the Minardi Formula 1 team.


Short tracks, sprint cars, IndyCar’s future, and a trip through F1 history — all in one fast-paced episode.
