As Americans have begun to make their mark in the Dakar Rally over recent years, few have more potential to become long-term icons of the event, or the sport of rally raid, than Seth Quintero. Dominant in American desert racing as a teenager, winning events from the Mint 400 to the UTV World Championship, Quintero earned the call from Red Bull to compete on a global stage for the first time in 2020, and he debuted at Dakar in 2021. In his first two Dakars, he won 18 combined stages in the Light Prototype class, including a record 12 in 2022, before finally scoring his first overall podium with a second place last year. For this year, he's been promoted to the T1 class with Toyota Gazoo Racing, where he replaces defending event winner Nasser Al-Attiyah.Listen Now: Check out this episode featuring Seth from August 2019!

If you were to split Brian Deegan's career into three pieces—motocross, short course, and rallycross—most top racers or riders in each category would be happy to settle for what he accomplished there. On two wheels, Deegan was a pioneer of freestyle motocross whose ghost ride across the finish line in Los Angeles birthed a whole new sport; in off-road trucks, he scored numerous wins and titles, including the Crandon World Championship; in rallycross, he was a regular title contender in Global Rallycross who added multiple medals there to his FMX haul, including gold in 2011. But Deegan's proudest accomplishment may be that three kids are following in his footsteps. Hailie has parlayed her off-road successes into multiple NASCAR rides, Haiden's prowess on a 250 earned him the inaugural SuperMotocross title, and Hudson continues to excel in youth motocross.Listen Now: Check out this episode featuring Brian from May 2019!

Few names in drag racing history can say that they've driven for both Don Prudhomme and Don Schumacher, but NHRA legend Ron Capps counts himself among the list. With experience in both Top Fuel and the Funny Car division where he's found his greatest success, Capps counts dozens of Wallys on his racing record—and he's one of fewer than 20 racers to have won in both classes. His third career Funny Car title in 2022 was extra sweet for multiple reasons: not only did it come in Capps' first year of team ownership, it also made him the first driver to win back-to-back titles in 20 years. Capps is also an avid sim racer and fan of anything he can race, making appearances in both the Prelude to the Dream and Superstar Racing Experience events at Eldora Speedway over the years.Listen Now: Check out this episode featuring Ron from April 2020!

If you've been missing James Hinchcliffe behind the wheel, rejoice: he'll be joining his fellow Canadians at Pfaff Motorsports for the endurance races in the 2024 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, starting with January's Rolex 24 at Daytona. It marks the first outings for the Mayor of Hinchtown since he traded in his NTT IndyCar Series helmet for a microphone at NBC Sports and on F1 TV for the past two years. The Ontario native won six times in his IndyCar career, where he drove for many of the biggest teams in the sport, but perhaps no triumph was bigger than his 2016 Indianapolis 500 pole—which came a year after a crash in practice for that race nearly killed him. Outside of racing, he was runner-up in Season 23 of Dancing with the Stars, and he continues to host Off Track, a podcast of his own with former Andretti Autosport teammate Alexander Rossi.Listen Now: Check out this episode featuring Hinch from April 2018!

Bryce Menzies capped off a dominant 2023 SCORE World Desert Championship over the weekend by earning the overall win in the 56th SCORE Baja 1000, teaming up with Tavo Vildosola and Andy McMillin to conquer more than 1300 miles up the Baja Peninsula from La Paz to Ensenada. The win made him the 2023 Trophy Truck class champion with three wins in four races, as well as just the 10th driver in history to have won the Baja 1000, Baja 500, and San Felipe 250. Menzies' accolades extend far beyond SCORE or even just the desert, though; from short course championships in multiple classes, to a pair of wins in the unique Red Bull Frozen Rush, to a 379-foot jump over a New Mexico ghost town to set a Guinness World Record, his name is a consistent presence in record books of all types.Listen Now: Check out this episode featuring Bryce from March 2018!

The General Tire Jim Beaver Show joins the off-road racing world in mourning the loss of Kyle LeDuc.The son of the legendary Curt LeDuc, Kyle carved his own impressive legacy over two decades of racing in short course's biggest events. He turned pro in 2002, won his first Crandon World Championship in Pro Lite in 2003, and his first season-long title the next year. After moving up to Pro 4 in 2008, he became one of the most dominant drivers of a generation, taking seven Lucas Oil Off-Road Racing Series titles in nine years between 2012 and 2020, hundreds of podiums, multiple Crandon Cup and LOORRS Challenge Cup wins alike, and three Crandon Pro 4 World Championships.Outside of short course, LeDuc joined Sara Price at Chip Ganassi Racing in Extreme E for that series' first two seasons. The duo converted a Crazy Race victory in the Island X-Prix into the team's first race win in July 2022, bringing the team to fourth place in points at year end.Listen Now: Check out Jim's first-ever interview with Kyle from November 2012, shortly after Kyle took his first LOORRS Pro 4 title with seven wins and 11 podiums.Be sure and find a General Tire for your ride here: General TireSubscribe here to the show: Apple PodcastsFollow us on YouTube here: Jim Beaver on YouTubeThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/1021001/advertisement

Compressing Travis Pastrana's career into a short blurb is an impossible task—but when you've had so much success in so many disciplines, you almost need no introduction. Maybe you know him from his feats on two wheels, from AMA Motocross and Supercross titles to X Games gold or even his stunts with Nitro Circus. Maybe it's his four-wheel feats, from numerous American stage rally titles to wins across multiple rallycross disciplines, including the series he founded, Nitrocross. He's won a Class 1 World Powerboat title, led laps in the Daytona 500, won his class at Pikes Peak, competed in Monster Jam and the World Rally Championship, jumped over fountains in Las Vegas… if you didn't know him, you'd think we were making this all up.

Antron Brown has been a mainstay of the NHRA's top levels since 1998, first in Pro Stock Motorcycle and since 2008 in the premier Top Fuel class. After finishing second in PSM points in 2001 and 2006, Brown became drag racing's first African-American champion when he took the 2012 Top Fuel title; he then added two more in 2015 and 2016. In 2022, the former Don Schumacher Racing driver took over full ownership of his team, which continues to this day as AB Motorsports. Brown and fellow Top Fuel champion Steve Torrence teamed up with Jim Beaver and Jolene Van Vugt to race the 2018 Mint 400. Outside of the cockpit, Brown's 100-meter dash time was good enough to qualify for the 1997 US Olympic Trials, and he also hosted Top Gear America with William Fichtner and Tom Ford in 2017.Listen Now: Check out this episode featuring Antron from April 2021!

Jean Shepherd was born on July 26th, 1921 on the South Side of Chicago to Jean and Anna Shepherd. He grew up in Hammond, Indiana, which according to Shep was a “tough and mean” industrial city. As an adolescent, Shepherd worked as a mail boy in a steel mill. He began his radio career at the age of sixteen, doing weekly sportscasts for WJOB in Hammond. That job led to juvenile roles on network radio in Chicago, including that of Billy Fairchild in the serial “Jack Armstrong, the All American Boy.” One of the programs that later came to symbolize Shepherd's childhood, thanks to his 1983 film A Christmas Story, was Red Ryder. During World War II, Shepherd served in the U.S. Army Signal Corps, installing radar equipment and furthering a lifelong dislike for authority figures. After the war, he studied acting in Chicago at the Goodman Theatre and briefly engineering and psychology at Indiana University. He left Indiana without a degree to take a radio gig in Cincinnati, which led him to a series of radio jobs, each better than the previous. After working at WTOD in Toledo, Ohio, Shepherd spent the early 1950s at WSAI and WLW in Cincinnati, and had a late-night broadcast on KYW in Philadelphia. He moved to New York for WOR and debuted on February 26th, 1955. WOR is a fifty-thousand watt clear-channel AM station and was the flagship affiliate of the Mutual Broadcasting System. Mutual Broadcasting had formed on September 28th, 1934 as a cooperative of stations WOR New York, WGN Chicago, WXYZ Detroit, and WLW Cincinnati. The members shared telephone-line transmission facilities and agreed to collectively enter into contracts with advertisers for their network shows. After a deal with Don Lee's chain of west coast networks, Mutual went coast-to-coast on December 29th, 1936. The other major networks, ABC, CBS, and NBC, were corporations. When World War II ended, domestic manufacturing restrictions were lifted. TV became a focal point as the other networks pumped their radio profits into the new medium. Mutual's cooperative status meant it never had the resources to move into TV, although affiliates like WOR did run a local TV station in New York. Mutual remained a cooperative until 1952 when General Tire became the parent company. By 1955 radio was changing. Drama, which had dominated the dial for more than two decades, was on its way out due to both its and TV production costs. More and more network programming was being turned over to local affiliates. These local affiliates employed a new generation of hosts that had grown up with Jack Benny, Fred Allen, and other observant humorists. Shepherd's peers were Johnny Carson, Jack Paar, Rod Serling, and Steve Allen. Shepherd was working an overnight slot for WOR in 1956. Facing a lack of sponsorship, he was about to be fired when he did an unauthorized commercial for Sweetheart Soap who didn't sponsor his program. WOR immediately canned him. But, listeners complained in droves and Sweetheart actually offered to sponsor him. WOR immediately brought him back. The overnight slot allowed him to riff with little need for the kind of corporate oversight that faced daytime and primetime hosts. That year, during a discussion on how easy it was to manipulate the best-seller lists, Shepherd suggested that his listeners visit bookstores and ask for a copy of a fictional novel called I, Libertine by a Frederick R. Ewing. Fans of the show planted references so widely that there were claims it made The New York Times Best Seller list. It led to an actual book deal with Ballantine. Theodore Sturgeon wrote most of it with Shepherd's outline guiding him. Betty Ballantine finished the novel when Sturgeon fell asleep during a marathon writing session to meet the deadline. Famed illustrator Frank Kelly Freas did the cover art. The book was published on September 13th, 1956 with all proceeds going to charity.

One of America's most successful open-wheel racers on a global stage, Alexander Rossi has carved out a career as one of IndyCar's most compelling drivers. After making five F1 race starts for Manor Marussia in 2015, he stepped back into a reserve role there for 2016 to race for Michael Andretti and Bryan Herta stateside; the partnership paid off with an Indianapolis 500 win in their first try. Giving up his F1 role for good the next year, Rossi spent seven seasons with Andretti, took eight wins, and finished second in points in 2018 before switching to Arrow McLaren for the 2023 season. Outside of IndyCar, he also won the 2021 24 Hours of Daytona alongside Filipe Albuquerque, Helio Castroneves, and Ricky Taylor for Wayne Taylor Racing.Listen Now: Check out this episode featuring Alexander from January 2021!

Employee rights. While investment managers tend to exercise most voting rights in corporations, bought with pension, life insurance and mutual fund money, employees also exercise voice through collective bargaining rules in labor law. Increasingly, corporate law has converged with labor law. The United States is in a minority of Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development countries that, as yet, has no law requiring employee voting rights in corporations, either in the general meeting or for representatives on the board of directors. On the other hand, the United States has the oldest voluntary codetermination statute for private corporations, in Massachusetts since 1919 passed under the Republican governor Calvin Coolidge, enabling manufacturing companies to have employee representatives on the board of directors, if corporate stockholders agreed. Also in 1919 both Procter & Gamble and the General Ice Delivery Company of Detroit had employee representation on boards. In the early 20th century, labor law theory split between those who advocated collective bargaining backed by strike action, those who advocated a greater role for binding arbitration, and proponents of codetermination as "industrial democracy". Today, these methods are seen as complements, not alternatives. A majority of countries in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development have laws requiring direct participation rights. In 1994, the Dunlop Commission on the Future of Worker-Management Relations: Final Report examined law reform to improve collective labor relations, and suggested minor amendments to encourage worker involvement. Congressional division prevented federal reform, but labor unions and state legislatures have experimented. Corporations are chartered under state law, the larger mostly in Delaware, but leave investors free to organize voting rights and board representation as they choose. Because of unequal bargaining power, but also historic caution of labor unions, shareholders monopolize voting rights in American corporations. From the 1970s employees and unions sought representation on company boards. This could happen through collective agreements, as it historically occurred in Germany or other countries, or through employees demanding further representation through employee stock ownership plans, but they aimed for a voice independent from capital risks that could not be diversified. Corporations where workers attempted to secure board representation included United Airlines, the General Tire and Rubber Company, and the Providence and Worcester Railroad. However, in 1974 the Securities and Exchange Commission, run by appointees of Richard Nixon, rejected that employees who held shares in AT&T were entitled to make proposals to include employee representatives on the board of directors. This position was eventually reversed expressly by the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010 §971, which subject to rules by the Securities and Exchange Commission entitles shareholders to put forward nominations for the board. Instead of pursuing board seats through shareholder resolutions, for example, the United Auto Workers successfully sought board representation by collective agreement at Chrysler in 1980, and the United SteelWorkers secured board representation in five corporations in 1993. However, it was clear that employee stock ownership plans were open to abuse, particularly after Enron collapsed in 2003. Workers had been enticed to invest an average of 62.5 percent of their retirement savings from 401(k) plans in Enron stock, against basic principles of prudent, diversified investment, and had no board representation. This meant, employees lost a majority of pension savings. For this reason, employees and unions have sought representation simply for investment of labor, without taking on undiversifiable capital risk. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/support

Fred Wallace Blanchard, 88, was received into the arms of Jesus on Monday, January 2, 2023. The family will be receiving visitors on Tuesday, January 10, from 6 – 8:00 p.m., at Pecan Grove Funeral Home, 3124 Robinson Drive,Waco. A service celebrating Fred's life will be held at Meadowbrook Baptist Church on Wednesday, January 11, at 10:00 a.m. There will be a private family burial at a later time.Fred was the seventh child of nine siblings born to SW "Dick" Blanchard and Bertha Anderson Blanchard on March 21, 1934, in Mound, Texas. He grew up attending Mound Schools and helping on the family farm until he enlisted in the Army in 1954. He served for two years and met the love of his life, Joy McCarver, when he was home on furlough in 1955. They corresponded through letter writing until his discharge in 1956. Fred and Joy married on September 22, 1956. Joy is convinced she wooed him with her ham sandwiches and sodas while working at the Gatesville Drug Store. Once married, they moved to Waco. Fred and Joy were blessed with two boys, Craig Wallace and Brad Dean. As the boys were growing up, the family joined other families and took many camping, fishing, and hunting trips. Fred taught the boys important lessons like how to drink black coffee and eat SPAM as well as respect for the wildlife and the natural Texas reserves. He also taught them the importance of a strong work ethic, how to serve others, how to treat others with dignity and respect, and how to be a man after God's heart. Fred worked at General Tire, advancing to a Supervisor position in the shipping department. He retired from General Tire after 32 years.During retirement, Fred worked at Clifton Upholstery for several years and then served many people by fixing their lawn care equipment from his home workshop. He really enjoyed people coming by the house to visit while dropping off and picking up their equipment. He could always be found "out back." Fred was an avid Texas Rangers baseball fan, watching the games as much as possible. He and Joy also attended the Lady Bears basketball games. They enjoyed travelling with friends across the United States, seeing sights and having fun. Fred was a longtime, dedicated member and Deacon of Beverly Hills Baptist Church. He was instrumental in starting a successful bus ministry through the 70's and 80's. He and Joy served faithfully at Beverly Hills Baptist Church through multiple ministries for over 50 years before joining Meadowbrook Baptist Church in 2008 and serving as an usher.Fred was preceded in death by 2 brothers and 4 sisters. He is survived by his wife of 66 years, Joy Blanchard of Waco; his son, Craig Blanchard (Diana) of Waco; his son, Brad Blanchard (Sharon) of Waco; grandchildren Matt Blanchard of Waco, Kristen (Blanchard) Holland of Waco, Taylor Blanchard (Heather) of McKinney, and Collin Blanchard of Waco; two great-grandchildren, Cohen and Reese Holland; sisters, Wyona Miller of Grand Lake, Colorado and Sue Magee of Gatesville, Texas; numerous nieces and nephews.Pall Bearers are Taylor Blanchard, Collin Blanchard, Frank Wallace, Mike Hardcastle, Tracey Patzke, and Mark McCarver. Matt Blanchard will serve as an Honorary Pall Bearer.In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in honor of Fred to Meadowbrook Baptist Church or Baylor Scott & White Hospice.
