Off Track with Hinch and Rossi

Alex and James are live from Hinchtown, for a mailbag episode, where they answer YOUR questions; brought to you be the incontestable CastBox (0:00 - 2:12). Alex had a bit of a week, going to the Colts training camp, where he was even able to ask Andrew Luck a question from the media scrum (02:13 - 05:52). James cues up the clip of Alex and Luck, in which Rossi asks if Uncle Rico inspired Andrew's new mustache, and Luck hits him right back (05:53 - 08:59). Before the mailbag, James asks Alex if he has any experience with hate mail, which he didn't until his on-track interactions with Wickens this season, but Rossi explains why he doesn't think being hated is always necessarily a bad thing, even if it's because of Hinch's ubiquitous Honda ads (09:00 - 13:21). Mailbag: Thim reads questions that we've gotten on twitter and email: questions about Smoke and Alonso, Lucy and Brunner, the guys' race routines, and more (13:22 - 26:17). Before they wrap it up, Hinch and Rossi discuss the Alonso news, and dive into what they would do in his place (26:18 - 33:02).
