The Couches That Made Us | Ep. 6 | Chris Wheeler

From The Couches That Made him... to HIS couch and guest room that helped make TLP. Chris Wheeler is a mover and a shaker in the world of big time IndyCar, dirt track and grass roots racing. He has been a crew guy, a spotter, an announcer, a promoter, a driver agent, and a whole lot more. By his own admission, Chris is an Indycar lifer who has not always taken the easiest route to get to a variety of high level opportunities in big time motorsport. He's learned many things from many people on his journey, and he's passed some of it down to the young racers - and even one not so young looking announcer - who he has put up on their own journeys. This and all other episodes of The Couches That Made Us are available on Youtube, and Apple Podcasts.

The Couches That Made Us | Ep. 5 | Conor Daly

Conor Daly is one of the most popular names and faces in Indycar, and American motorsport today. He has been a true journeyman in a world where that isn't the norm it used to be. Simply put, Conor goes anywhere and everywhere to drive race cars. Today that means bouncing from team to team, but not so long ago, it meant surfing couches and guest rooms of friends and even competitors.

The Couches That Made Us | Ep. 4 | Artie Carpenter

Artie Carpenter grew up racing go karts in the Pacific Northwest. But before he would graduate high school, the happy go lucky racer would suffer loss and heart break. Much more than a couch was afforded to the kid who just wanted to make things go fast and have fun with his friends, and he ended up becoming a member of a family that didn't share his last name. In this conversation Artie and host Tony LaPorta dive deep on the ties that bind them both together, and they celebrate the fact that they are both at the top of their games thanks to a family who invited them both out to come work at a go kart track hidden in the trees. Full episode available on Youtube and Apple Podcasts.

The Couches That Made Us | Ep. 3 | Logan Seavey - PART 2

In the second half of Logan Seavey's time on the couch, he finishes up talking about racing with, and for one of his best friends who he stayed with intermittently. Logan explains what it's like to live inside of a house attached to a race shop, and what flying to the other side of the world to meet your new roommate and his family ON CHRISTMAS can involve. ### Logan Seavey has scratched, clawed and fought his way to the top of the USAC world. And he's done it all while being one of the nicest, most unassuming racers. Coming from being paid to race as a teenager at Red Bluff Outlaws, to criss crossing the globe to race midgets and sprint cars, Logan has slept and woken up in the homes of friends and employers as he has become one of the best on dirt today.
