Behind the Indianapolis 500 With Bridgestone’s Lisa Boggs

The Indianapolis 500 is one of the most recognizable events in all of motorsports. But in the Indianapolis 500, behind the scenes, is someone away from all that spotlight, preparing and coordinating events with a well-oiled team. That person is Lisa Boggs.

Lisa serves as director of motorsports programs for Bridgestone. That means she helps oversee the company’s involvement in some of the biggest racing events in the country, including the Indianapolis 500. But Boggs didn’t set out with a lifelong plan to work in racing.

In this episode of Johnny g & Friends, we get an Indianapolis 500 behind-the-scenes look as we talk to Lisa about how she found her way into the racing world, what it takes to support one of the most historic events in motorsports, and why the relationships built along the way remain the most important part of the job.
