Off Track with Hinch and Rossi
SiriusXM
Updated 6 days agoA look into the lives of professional IndyCar drivers, reality television stars, and best friends James Hinchcliffe and Alexander Rossi. Though Hinch and Rossi have seen plenty of success on the track, the show is meant to highlight their off-the-track lives, including their unfiltered opinions on what’s trending in popular culture. Off Track is at its heart a sports show, but Hinch and Rossi are well-versed in popular culture and have experience relating to influential figures across a variety of disciplines. The interviews consist of athletes, artists, and entrepreneurs -- really anyone with a passion for what they do, regardless of what that is.

The Hot Dogiest One Yet
Honestly, at this point, we might be a Hot Dog podcast that occasionally talks about racing. Alex couldn't make it this week, so James and Thim talk about the latest racing news, then bring up a point of contention from a previous episode. The National Hot Dog and Sausage Council said that no one over the age of 18 should put ketchup on their hot dog. We took issue with this, and Eric Mittenthal, the president of that council called us out, saying we should hear him out. So, we did, and learned a lot about phallic meat. +++Follow us on Twitter at @askofftrack.
