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.

Brought to you by

We're Back
Sorry for the long delay in episodes, we had a thing at the place, you understand. Besides some technical issues from James and Alex, we're back! And, as we're wont to do, we talk about peeing WAY too much. We also catch up on everything that has happened in the IndyCar world in our absence, but the episode is way more about peeing than it should be. What do you think about the troughs going away at IMS? Thim promises to teach the guys how to use microphones by the next episode.+++Follow us on Twitter at @askofftrack.

Thanksgiving
It's been a while since we've done one of these, but given that it's Thanksgiving (in America, at least), we thought we should take a minute to reflect on everything we're thankful for this year.+++Follow us on Twitter at @askofftrack.

Breakfast, Unread Texts, and a Season's End
Hinch and Rossi are in the same place, because -well- they're kind of roommates at the moment. The guys talk about one of the most controversial topics of our time, breakfast food. Then, after a long break, we have a grinds my gears again, and shocker, it's about twitter... again. Lastly, the guys talk about Laguna Seca, and the end of the 2019 series.+++Follow us on Twitter at @askofftrack.

The Un-Luck-y Episode
The guys are back! Hinch has lost his mic again (he suspects foul play). After Pocono and St. Louis, it's easy to see why the guys might not be feeling too lucky. They talk about where they both are in the season, and what they're looking forward to. Then, they wrap up the episode with their opinions on the news of Andrew Luck's retirement, and the blow back from the fans.+++Follow us on Twitter at @askofftrack.

The One About the Wedding
Nice gear, cool mics, and the best software can all -sometimes- fail. So, this episode is brought to you by our back-up recording equipment. The guys talk about where they are in the season, then James talks about this biggest news facing him at this point in the year. Not the McLaren news, his wedding.

Mid-Ohio, Adam Rippon, and the IndyCar Wedding Crashers

The Very Canadian Episode (With Wickens)
The guys are all together again! They talk about where they are in the season, then welcome the very special guest, Robert Wickens. They talk about Robbie's return to a racetrack, before Alex and Thim definitively win the argument about the absurdity of Canadian money (in a non-controversial way). Then James and Robbie talk about the importance of the Toronto race to them.+++Follow us on Twitter at @askofftrack.

Philosophy and Racing with Dr Hinchcliffe
Rossi's enjoying a well earned break, but Hinch and Thim recap Road America, and talk about where the season stands, now. Then, author (and brother of Hinch), Christopher Hinchcliffe joins the show to talk about the application of rules in F1, and dives in a discussion about what the role of the stewards should be, and how rules should be applied. We dive into the weeds a bit on this one, so we hope the real racing fans will enjoy it!+++Follow us on Twitter at @askofftrack.

Jim Leo and Some Race Recaps
Hinch is taking a much needed, mid-season, vacation, so Alex and Thim check in from Indianapolis. A lot has happened since we last talked, so we recap the Indy 500, both Detroit races, and Texas. A lot of people are curious about what it takes for a driver to stay in shape to race in IndyCar, so we sat down with PitFit's own, Jim Leo to go into the methods behind the madness.
