Saying No to a $20 Million Porsche

We call this "Take Your Podshow to Work Day." It's three stories of weird days on the racing job—one story from each of our hosts.
Once, Sam had the chance to drive a 230-mph Le Mans prototype—a factory-owned Porsche 917K!—and he said no. Why? It’s complicated!
Once, Jeff won the 24 Hours of Daytona in 28 hours. The whole thing was such a big deal that Mario Andretti got kinda feathered up and tweeted out an opinion about it. Why? Also complicated!
And! Last but not least, we have Ross, the former IndyCar and pro sports-car driver, and the story of the time he went to Florida to live out a personal, glorious, and happily uncomplicated dream.
***
IN THIS EP: An air-cooled flat-twelve blows up — A journalist (not Sam) gets sued — Someone’s mom saves a race team’s day by retrieving $1000 from her bra at Daytona — Ross gets all hot and bothered over a shock-dyno graph — and more!

This show changes format weekly, because squirrel. The official name of this format is “MY WEIRD DAY AT WORK.”
This episode was produced by Sam Smith.

Ross Bentley is a former IndyCar driver, a bestselling author, and a world-renowned performance coach. Jeff Braun is a champion race engineer. Sam Smith is an award-winning writer and a former executive editor of Road & Track magazine.
We don’t love racing for the nuts and bolts—we love it for what it asks of the meatbag at the wheel.
