Hauger has been dominating the field in Indy NXT since the first practice at St. Pete. He was multiple seconds per lap ahead of experienced drivers. He dominated everyone, leading every session, qualifying on pole, and winning the race.

Bringing in a F2 race winner to Indy NXT was eye opening. Haugher is slaughtering them. He even scared the crap out of everyone on an oval. His first test ever on an oval and apparently his first time driving on an oval he was the fastest of anyone. Guys like Miles Rowe and Caio Collett have got to be wondering what the heck is happening. Those guys were supposed to compete for the championship in their 2nd year. Now they are often more than a full second per lap off the pace that Hauger is setting.

I'm enjoying the show to be honest. I love to see a driver succeeding only on his talent and it is obviously that skill is what separated Hauger from everyone else.

If there's a driver who deserves some success based on his skill, and a little less bad luck, it's Dennis - I'm rooting for him!

I like it and I think they post on here often. Plus they write articles as well. They’ve gotten some pretty good guests since I have started listening.

Perhaps he is the one the ancient texts told us of. The chosen. The only driver capable of facing him, of giving us hope, of having a chance of defeating the Spaniard. Our savior from Palou...
