Dover Double and Indy 500

The Dover Double saw this season’s top 2 drivers solidify their position as the drivers to beat for the championship, with 1 week left in the NASCAR regular season. Denny Hamlin won all 3 stages, including Saturday’s race and Kevin Harvick won all 3 stages, including Sunday’s race. Albeit delayed for 3 months - this Sunday was the biggest day in racing, with the 104th running of the Indianapolis 500 - won by Takuma Sato. The Let’s Go Racing Family interviews IndyCar and Indianapolis 500 fan, Sarah - as she describes her family’s connection to one of the most historic races in the world.

About the Podcast

Let's Go Racing Family Podcast
A family podcast dedicated to our view of life through the lens of racing and NASCAR.
The Let's Go Racing Family Podcast is about our love of NASCAR, travel, and just being a family. Our family includes Mom, Dad, and our three boys (Sebastian, Gio, and Johann).

We thought a podcast would be cool way for us to share our own opinions and tell our own stories.

We have different show formats that will alternate throughout the season (Race Recaps and Let's Go Racing Family Xtras). Race Recap episodes will feature our family discussing story lines from previous races. The Xtra episodes, will feature more variety segments, such as "6 Degrees of NASCAR - connecting pop-culture to NASCAR in less than 6 degrees of separation" or "Racing Through Life." Every weekly episode, regardless of format, will include Race Picks - where our family make our picks for who we think will win the Cup Series race that weekend.

Join us on our family adventure into the worlds of racing, family, and podcasting.
