Dva mistři světa. Dva Američané. A jeden temný stín, který se nad jejich vítězstvími nikdy neztratil.Phil Hill – tichý perfekcionista, který se bál rychlosti, ale dokázal ovládnout svět Formule 1.Mario Andretti – emigrant z Itálie, který proměnil americký sen v realitu a stal se symbolem úspěchu.Jejich příběhy jsou jako den a noc – a přesto je spojuje osud, který v Monze zpečetil obě jejich vítězství tragédií.V americkém speciálu s Andreou se podíváme i na další, jako například Dana Gurneyho, muže, který vymyslel oslavy šampaňským nebo na Coltona Hertu – jméno, které může být budoucností americké Formule 1 s Cadillacem.

Send us a textFrom sleeping peacefully under loudspeakers at dirt tracks as a baby to witnessing Richard Petty's historic 200th victory with President Reagan in attendance, Deb Williams has lived and breathed motorsports her entire life. Now in her fourth decade as a motorsports journalist, Williams takes us on a captivating journey from her humble beginnings in a North Carolina mill town to becoming the first female to cover NASCAR for an international wire service.The passion that drove a 13-year-old girl to declare she would become a motorsports writer after spotting statistical errors in her local newspaper's racing coverage has never diminished. Williams shares colorful anecdotes from an era when racing coverage was built on personal relationships – times when journalists, drivers, and team members would gather at local restaurants after races, forging bonds that transcended professional obligations. Her stories of interviewing legends like Richard Petty (first as a starstruck fan, later as a professional) and dining with Mario Andretti and the Italian ambassador offer a glimpse into racing's rich human tapestry.As president of the National Motorsports Press Association and a contributing editor for AutoWeek.com, Williams continues to shape racing journalism while teaching the next generation at Appalachian State University. Her perspective on how the sport's coverage has evolved – from the days when "everybody knew somebody on every race team" to today's more structured media environment – highlights what's been gained and lost as racing has grown into a national phenomenon.Williams' story isn't just about motorsports; it's about perseverance, breaking barriers, and the power of community. In a world increasingly dominated by digital interactions, her emphasis on human connection and the racing family where "you know who's got your back" resonates more powerfully than ever. Whether you're a die-hard racing fan or simply appreciate stories of passion pursued against all odds, Williams' journey reminds us that behind every headline are the people who make the sport what it is.Join the conversation about how motorsports journalism has evolved by sharing your thoughts on what we've gained – and perhaps lost – in racing's transformation over these past four decades.Support the showFACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/womensmotorsportsnetworkandpodcast INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/womensmotorsportsnetwork/ LINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melindarussell/ TIKTOK: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melindarussell/ X: https://x.com/IWMANation FACEBOOK Personal Page: https://www.facebook.com/melinda.ann.russell

More than a legend of motorsport, Mario Andretti had been a friend of Freak Nation since its inception 25 years ago. In this two-parter, Scatt Mann first talks with Andretti about being a grandfather to Marco as he transitions into racing, then Kenny and Crash share a wholesome yet hilarious moment with the G.O.A.T at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
The legendary race car driver Mario Andretti is our guest on this episode. He spoke movingly of his late wife, Dee Ann, whose unwavering support was a constant throughout his illustrious career. Mario has 3 children and 7 grandchildren. During Mario's accomplished career he won many races and championships in various forms of auto racing. Mario talks about how he and his twin brother formed a love for car racing early in life. He lost a good friend who crashed in a race and Mario relied on God and the support of his wife during adversities. Mario won the Long Beach Grand Prix four times and proudly talks about his sons, Michael and Jeff, also competing in Long Beach, CA. Mario's uncle was a Catholic priest, and he affectionately attributes his safety in racing to “Uncle Priest” watching over him from heaven. Mario's good friend Fr. Phil de Rea celebrated Mass for his racing team before many races. Mario is looking forward to a new venture starting next year when he will be a consultant and board member with the new Cadillac Formula 1 team. For Mario, a relationship with God is not complicated, providing strength for him, and helping him avoid disasters throughout his racing career. #catholicsports, #marioandretti, #autoracing, #autoracinglegend #AcuraGrandPrixofLongBeach, #CadillacFormula1Team

Mario Andretti was 10 years old when the first ever Formula 1 World Championship Grand Prix took place at Silverstone, on the 13th of May 1950. The 1978 World Champion has seen everything the pinnacle of motorsport has to offer over the past 75 years, and is one of just 34 drivers to win the ultimate prize, so he's the perfect person to celebrate such a landmark anniversary. Speaking to Tom Clarkson, Mario charts the history of F1 through his eyes. He explains how different the cars felt to drive in different eras of technical innovations, what it was like to compete in a very dangerous period of racing, and how safety improved over time. Mario also talks about what made World Champions Alberto Ascari, Jim Clark, Sir Jackie Stewart, Ayrton Senna and Michael Schumacher so special. Plus, he looks to the future of F1 – telling Tom about his role in the new Cadillac F1 team that will join the grid in 2026 and what they need to hit the ground running.

Forget what you thought about Mick Schumacher's F1 career. 2026 might rewrite everything.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsIs Mick Schumacher on the verge of a sensational return to Formula 1 with Cadillac? After a rocky exit from Haas and two years in the shadows, the son of a legend is making serious waves again and GM's 2026 entry might just be the opportunity he's been waiting for. Backed by Mario Andretti and holding key meetings during the Miami Grand Prix weekend, Mick is now firmly on Cadillac's radar alongside big names like Sergio Perez and Valtteri Bottas. But with Colton Herta's superlicense woes and Cadillac insisting on merit over marketing, Schumacher's strong recent performances in the World Endurance Championship could be tipping the scales in his favor.This video breaks down everything! From Mick's rocky Haas days and lack of Ferrari backing to his rebranded image as a reliable, technically sharp grafter in WEC. We look at what Cadillac's team structure suggests, why Andretti might see Mick as a long-term asset, and whether pairing him with Checo could actually work. Plus, how his recent Spa podium and strong form in the 36 Alpine car might be the quiet turning point in one of motorsport's most compelling comeback stories.

In this week's fan-favorite, Mario Andretti shares a story of when he and his friend - who happened to be a Nevada Highway Patrol sergeant - took a Lamborghini out to try and hit 200 mph on the highway but got pulled over by another highway patrol trooper who clocked them going 183 mph.
America's new F1 team could be the platform for Checo Perez's REVENGE ARC against Red Bull in 2026? Did the Mexican take a leaf out of Carlos Sainz's Williams book?Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsCould Sergio "Checo" Perez finally get the Formula 1 redemption he's been seeking? Mario Andretti has dropped major hints that Perez might soon headline Cadillac's highly anticipated 2026 F1 entry. After facing intense drama at Red Bull, Perez's sabbatical may actually boost his appeal, positioning him as an ideal candidate for Cadillac's ambitious Formula 1 project. Andretti has openly praised Perez's resilience and valuable insight gained from navigating Red Bull's turbulent team dynamics, indicating that the Mexican driver's experience could be pivotal for Cadillac as they aim to make a powerful debut in Formula 1.Cadillac isn't just interested in Perez for his driving skill—his immense popularity, especially in the crucial Mexican market, makes him a strategic asset both on and off the track. Could we potentially see an all-Mexican dream team pairing Perez with IndyCar star Pato O'Ward or Colton Herta? Perez himself emphasizes he's looking for a team that truly values and believes in him, a sentiment aligning perfectly with Cadillac's philosophy. This video examines how Checo's complicated yet compelling journey could lead to an epic comeback, reshaping his legacy in Formula 1.#f1 #sergioperez #checoperez #formula1 #formulaone #f12025 #maxverstappen #verstappen #redbullracing #yukitsunoda #christianhorner #helmutmarko #f1news #f1latest #f1updates #f1rumors #f1drama #cadillacf1 #cadillac #generalmotors

Danny's promotional prowess was good and NASCAR Hall of Fame driver Jeff Gordon says he emulated him throughout his racing career. Danny was inducted into the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America in 2012 and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Hall of Fame in 2022. He remains active as a TV personality, producer, and entrepreneur, staying involved in many forms of racing and business.

A.J. Foyt: Survivor, Champion, Legend (Volume One, Octane Press, October 2024), an extensive and highly entertaining biography of one of America's most popular, colorful, and controversial sports heroes, is now available for order. Art Garner-an award-winning author and finalist for the prestigious PEN/ESPN award for literary sports writing for his bestselling book, Black Noon-has captured the action on and off the track that led many to consider Foyt to be one of the greatest race car drivers of all time-and one reporter to write that A.J. stood for "another jerk."Known for his fiery disposition and bare-knuckled approach, Foyt's driving career spanned five decades-six if you count an exhibition race when he was five years old. He was the first driver to win the Indianapolis 500 four times and still holds Indy car records for most victories and championships. He is the only driver ever to win the Indianapolis 500, 24 Hours of Le Mans, and the Daytona 500, one version of auto racing's triple crown. He also won the International Race of Champions in 1976 and 1977 and still holds the world closed-course speed record that he set in 1987. "Statistics tell only part of the story," Garner says. "Foyt likes to say, 'I'm just A.J., ain't no different than any other man,' but nothing could be further from the truth. He's one of the most complex and intricate personalities in the history of auto racing, perhaps all of sports." The biography also explores the unique relationship between Foyt and his "Daddy," Anthony Joseph "Tony" Foyt Sr. Although they often clashed-it was Tony who said working with his son could be like "dancing with a buzzsaw"-A.J. called him "the only man I can trust." It was Tony who instilled in his son an overwhelming drive to be the best, teaching him that victory was expected, excellence assumed. And it was Tony who told a crowd celebrating A.J.'s fourth Indy 500 victory that his son had "done fair."Through tireless research and hundreds of hours of new interviews with Foyt, his family, friends, and the biggest names in motorsports-including Mario Andretti, Roger Penske, Al Unser Sr., Johnny Rutherford, Jackie Stewart, Richard Petty, Cale Yarborough, and many others-Garner has compiled an unprecedented look at Foyt's life and career. At 656 pages it includes ninety-five photos, some from Foyt's family albums, and fifty-five pages of source notes and index.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. sets out to learn more about the world of open wheel motorsports as he sits down with the CEO of McLaren Racing Zak Brown. Big news brought the open wheel executive to town as McLaren joined Hendrick Motorsports in announcing that Kyle Larson will return to the Indianapolis 500 in 2025 for another attempt at the Memorial Day double. Zak explains how the partnership with Rick Hendrick came together through an adoration for his race team, which he views as a North American equivalent of McLaren. He also credits Larson's versatility with being reminiscent of yesteryear's drivers like A.J. Foyt and Mario Andretti. As McLaren continues to flourish open wheel racing, Zak says his sights are set on becoming a top-outfit in the sports car ranks, competing in both WEC and IMSA in the future.Zak's background in racing can be traced to the 1981 Long Beach Grand Prix, which he attended with his parents and brother. A successful appearance on Wheel of Fortune when he was 13 and advice from Mario himself led to a door opening in go-kart racing, which Zak entered and never looked back. After finding a knack for securing sponsorship, Zak realized he was better fit on the marketing end of the sport and started his own company, Just Marketing, Inc., which quickly rose to being one of the top businesses in racing. Zak would sell the company and find himself at a professional crossroads before being faced with the ultimate career decision: be in line to one day run Formula One or help direct McLaren Racing. Thanks to his love of competition, Zak took the position at the legendary race team and helped it return to its former glory at the forefront of the racing world.Dale and Zak share one strong common thread, through Dale Earnhardt Sr.'s 1980s Nova, which currently resides in the JR Motorsports garage. Zak was a longtime owner of the vehicle before Dale Jr. was able to acquire it through auction, and he shares an incredible story of how he was able to confirm its authenticity.
Tonight, on Trackside, we celebrate Gordon Johncock's birthday, and preview the remainder of the IndyCar season, as well as some Olympics talk, including Cole Hocker's gold medal run in the 1500. Hocker is from Indianapolis. They talk about the streaming power of Peacock, and how viewing numbers have been. They also briefly talk about the IMSA race last weekend. Kevin gives his insight on the Juncos Hollinger seat that has opened with Augustin Canapino departing from the team, and how Conor Daly drove his car at the test at World Wide Technology Raceway. Later, Kevin and Curt talk about a conversation Tony Stewart had with Jake Query, and his opinion that the Brickyard 400 should be run at night under the lights. The two debate about whether that would be good for in-person attendance, and if IMS would ever install lights. To round out the first hour, Kevin talks about baseball playing at Bristol Motor Speedway, and how something like that could happen at Indianapolis. In the second hour of the show, Kevin and Curt talk about some of the best NASCAR races, and how NASCAR succeeded through mainstream television. Kevin brings up the question as to why IndyCar teams don't have reserve drivers, and if we will see that change soon. They go over the history of reserve drivers in Indy, and when they were used most recently. They talk about the pricing of Venu Sports, and alternatives to paying for it, like buying an antenna. Later in the second hour, Kevin goes to the X Box to ask some listener questions. They answer a question about backup cars, and how most teams just opt to repair their primary car since backups do not have engines. They also answer a question about the Mario Andretti and AJ Foyt Trophies for the best oval and road course drivers, and why they went away. They bring up the possibility of racing at Richmond, and how fans have to show up for those races for them to return to the schedule. Kevin ends the show with what we missed. He brings up how Rossi has improved health wise after his surgery, and Kevin updates us on Jackson Lee's ride at IMS for the Michelin Pilot Challenge.

The great Mario Andretti was on the Dale Jr. Download this week, and he was asked about motorsports' Crown Jewel races. Not NASCAR's Crown Jewels, but the biggest races in motorsports collectively. That got us wondering, with Kyle Larson's recent cross-over into IndyCar, who is the single-most versatile, multi-disciplined race car driver in history that competed in the Crown Jewel races? Who should be considered the best? And who amongst us could take over that mantle someday? We have an all-star panel to help inform our discussion. Legendary FOX Sports broadcaster Mike Joy, Sirius XM & MRN personality Dave “The Godfather” Moody, and the Director of Historical Content at NASCAR, Ken Martin, all weigh in and help settle the debate once and for all.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. sits down for an incredible conversation with motorsports icon Mario Andretti. With a resume that includes wins in the Indy 500 and the Daytona 500, four IndyCar championships, and a Formula One championship, Mario is in rarified air in motorsports history, ranking among the best to ever sit behind the wheel. Mario reflects on his childhood in Italy and how his family migrated from a refugee camp to Nazareth, Pennsylvania when he was 15 years old. It was there that his twin brother Aldo and he discovered the nearby Nazareth Speedway and set out with the ambition to build a racecar to enter the local sportsman division. At the advice of his friends, the Andretti brother team settled on a 1948 Hudson Hornet for their initial foray into racing, thanks to the classic car's success on the dirt in early NASCAR competition. With a fabricated story of racing in the Formula Junior ranks in Italy and doctored driver's licenses in their pockets, the Andretti's set out with a full head of steam and found immediate success, helping to launch one of the greatest stories in auto racing. Mario explains that his decision to leave stock cars and venture into open wheel racing came through the ¾ midget ranks of the East Coast, and his time in the division helped land him USAC sprint and championship car rides. After getting his feet wet in the big cars in 1964, Mario had a tremendous rookie season, placing 3rd at the Indianapolis 500 and winning the national championship. Mario and Dale also chat about his journey into the NASCAR world, which resulted in a 1967 Daytona 500 victory with the Holman-Moody team. Mario admits that some on the team were pulling for his teammate Fred Lorenzen, but with the help of the legendary engine builder Waddell Wilson he was able to overcome adversity for his lone NASCAR win. The conversation also covers Mario's track record at the Indy 500, pursuing his childhood love of Formula One racing and how he came to win the 1978 World Championship and returning to the US to finish his career in the CART ranks, racing alongside his son Michael.
