52: The Streak Is Over
The first year of The Braking Point podcast wraps up with another solo effort by The Apex’s Executive Editor Ben Hinc with a roundup of sports car, Mazda Road to Indy and Verizon IndyCar Series headlines.
Sandwiched between all the news is a rundown of the six hours of IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship action at Watkins Glen from this past weekend where misfortune for Wayne Taylor Racing led to a streak being broken and enabled Action Express Racing to earn its first victory of the season.
Episode 52 wraps up with a brief in-depth topic on the value provided by The Braking Point and a fun blooper reel.
