Remembering Ontario Motor Speedway & Gateway Race Recap

This week on The Pits Are Open, host Will Marotti dives deep into the legacy of the legendary Ontario Motor Speedway with Mike Allen, a retired U.S. Air Force officer and the foremost historian on the track. Mike shares insights from his upcoming book, backed by over 5,000 historical documents and interviews with icons like Mario Andretti, Bobby Unser, and Robin Miller.

We also reflect on an electrifying Gateway race weekend where Kyle Kirkwood, David Malukas, and Santino Ferrucci made headlines—and Joseph Newgarden took a wild ride in a dramatic crash. Plus, a storm-interrupted live segment with Mike Lashmett from Vintage Indy spotlights the iconic Mystery Eagle—the first car to top 200 mph in a closed course.
