Taylor Ferns on Milestones, Law School & Driver Safety + Tony Donahue’s IndyCar Outlook

This week on The Pits Are Open, host Will Marotti and producer Alex Smith return to a “regular show” format after a run of PRI interviews — and they kick it off with a simple ask for the fans: visit thepitsareopen.com to sign up for the weekly newsletter (racing news + upcoming show preview), and if you watch on YouTube, subscribe to The Pits Are Open Podcast channel to help the show grow. First, Taylor Ferns joins the program for a wide-ranging conversation about one of the most unique careers in American open-wheel racing. Ferns breaks down her journey from Michigan to Indianapolis, her deep resume across midgets, sprint cars, and Silver Crown, and what it takes to build a racing career with real structure behind it. Off the track, she shares her academic path through business, an MBA, and law school — plus what it’s like studying for the bar while continuing to race and operate her own team. Taylor also highlights her mission-driven work supporting drivers who can’t afford adequate safety equipment, explaining how the initiative is built through donated product support from leading manufacturers. She reflects on how dirt and pavement open-wheel racing shapes racecraft, why sprint cars remain a core passion, and the long-term dream that still pulls many drivers toward the Indianapolis 500. Later, Indianapolis motorsports personality Tony Donahue returns to the show to talk IndyCar storylines heading into the season. The discussion covers the shifting driver market, rumors and realities around open seats, the sport’s continuing dependence on sponsorship funding, and what Tony believes it will take for certain teams and young drivers to break through in a high-pressure year. It’s a fast, honest look at where IndyCar stands — and what could define the months ahead.
