Podcast: The Day at Indy, May 18, with SPM GM Piers Phillips

Schmidt Peterson Motorsports' gentle giant, general manager Piers Phillips, joins the Marshall Pruett Podcast's Day at Indy at the conclusion of Fast Friday where teams made final preparations to try and qualify for the Indy 500.

With four cars spread across the spectrum of speeds, Phillips shares great insights on how his team and others will approach Saturday and Sunday at Indy, the lack of confidence many have in finding more speed if it's missing, how teams will employ strategy to help themselves leading into Bump Day and Pole Day, and working with rookie sensation Robert Wickens.
