Same Page Ministries is Mark Donohue's ministry. Mark helps to guide CEO's, business owners, coaches, pastors, and more on a journey of becoming as successful in their family life as they are in their business life and/or ministry. Mark was responsible for leading 50 of his peers in high school to Jesus while being mentored in a student ministry by his youth pastor. When that happens in a small community, even the surrounding communities hear about it... and we heard about his reputation as a life changer through out our county! Now years later, Mark is a husband, a father, a business man, and a ministry leader. There is much to be learned in this episode by a humble man who just wants to be on the right path of life that leads to building the kingdom of God. _______________________________ Looking for a new student ministry resource?

“It will never have enough . . . until I can spin the wheels at the end of the straightaway in high gear.” A man named Mark said that. Mark engineered and drove race cars. In the early 1970s, he was handed a barely drivable, 700-hp Porsche. Because Mark had a brain the size of a planet, he made the car a blisteringly fast, 1500-horse dollbaby. It was so good, in fact, that it killed a prestigious international racing series deader than hell. What happened in between is utterly bonkers. This show's format rotates weekly, because squirrel. This episode is our monthly deep dive into an epic moment from racing history—in this case, Mark Donohue, Roger Penske, and the 230-mph Can-Am Porsche 917s of 1972–1973. Related Trivia: Jeff met Mark once, long ago, when he was a little Jeff. When Sam was a younger Sam, he went to Sears Point to drive a factory-owned 917K (not the Can-Am car) but got rained out and was sad. Ross was never younger or older and has always been an ageless sage; he's basically a Galápagos tortoise who really likes trail braking.

Mark Donohue never quite fit the look of a race car driver. But regardless of how he looked on the outside, his methodology not only changed the literal rules of racing but also the industry as a whole. So how did this All-American, Ivy League guy end up in a race car? How did he go from being nicknamed “Captain Nice” to “Dark Donohue?” And why did he pull that classic race driver stunt by coming out of retirement after only a year off? Today on Past Gas, we're talking about Captain Nice himself, Mark Donohue. Thanks to our sponsors: Start the Good Habit at https://tryfum.com/PAST to save 10% off the Journey Pack today.

If you've listened to or watched a NASCAR race in the past 50 years, there's a voice that is synonymous with some of the sport's biggest moments. Legendary broadcaster Mike Joy joins Dale Earnhardt Jr. and co-host Mike Davis to fill listeners in on his career, as well as talk shop about the broadcasting craft.After a meteoric rise from the PA booth of New England's finest short tracks, Joy has gone on to work for almost every major broadcasting network in motorsports over the past five decades. Growing up in Windsor, Connecticut, Joy enrolled at the University of Hartford pursuing a degree in engineering. It was here that he got his first on-air experience after taking a position at the university's radio station as a play-by-play commentator for sporting events. It was also during these years that he became involved in the world of motorsports. He had developed a love for sports cars as a teenager, thanks to an extensive collection of auto magazines and his father's acquisition of a two-seater that the two worked on. His admiration for the road racing experts of the day, such as Dan Gurney and Mark Donohue sparked an interest to join the driving ranks himself. But without proper funding or opportunity, he settled into the sport of autocross where competitors could use their street vehicles. His autocross club brought him to Riverside Park Speedway in Agawam, Massachusetts – a small pavement oval located in an amusement park. Thanks to his broadcasting experience, he was asked to hop on the microphone during an autocross meet one Sunday to help inform any park attendees who may have wandered into the track exactly what was happening in the competition. Before long, park owner Ed Carroll noticed that a few hundred people had gathered in the grandstands to watch a single car weaving around barrels, and invited Joy on board to become a fill-in PA announcer. Although he initially turned down the offer, citing a disinterest in the crude jalopies of the oval racing circuit, he attended a Saturday night show at the recommendation of the track's public relations specialist. After witnessing a mad dash to the finish between two drivers and the effect it had on the audience, Joy thought “I need to be a part of this.”Joy fills Dale and Mike in on how taking the position at Riverside introduced him to the legendary Ken Squier, and how that guided him to joining the Motor Racing Network. He talks about an opportunity he received to call some of the 1975 IROC race at Daytona, and how that moment made him realize that he could have a career in broadcasting. The conversation also dives into the art of commentating, and how different platforms require different approaches. Joy recounts a hilarious story of sneaking into the 1976 Daytona 500 and joining in on the Wood Brothers' victory lane celebration. He also shares the details of his final conversation with Dale Earnhardt Sr.Although known for his contributions to the sport from inside the broadcaster's booth, Joy still managed to have a career in road racing, and shares the details of his 1973 IMSA debut, as well as his experiences in the 1993 24 Hours of Daytona.In 2022, Joy celebrated his 22nd consecutive year as lead commentator for the Daytona 500. It also marked his 46th year of involvement with Daytona Speedweeks, a record that may never be eclipsed. DIRTY AIR presented by FiltertimeBefore Mike Joy joins the show, Dale, Mike and Matthew get real about: NASCAR's wild weekend at Pocono Denny Hamlin's pass for the lead considered retaliation against Ross Chastain? Ty Gibbs subbing in for Kurt Busch The future of Kyle Busch ASKJR presented by XfinityAlex Timms brings fan questions to Dale about: The advantage the NextGen rear view camera provides The upcoming modified opening races at North Wilkesboro Hanging with Noah Gragson in victory lane Collecting diecast cars To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Hello again Fellow Racing Ears,In this episode, Trent, Rick, and Jeff were all onboard to have a great discussion and with the 2021 Motorsport Hall Of Fame Of America Inductee, Judy Stropus. Judy Stropus was a pioneer in the development of timing and scoring in auto racing before racing transponders were invented. Judy became involved in auto racing back in the early 1960's when her boyfriend was road racing in SCCA events in a Jaguar XK120. Timing and scoring was an essential duty for a race team and Judy was able to develop her version of this necessary team duty. Her timing and scoring skills were quickly noticed by many teams throughout the pit lane. Later, her talents gained the attention of Roger Penske, who soon after hired her for Trans Am with Mark Donohue and later Can Am, and even later, the Indianapolis 500.It was a thrill and an honor to have Judy Stropus on The Racing Ear Podcast. Thank you for listening to The Racing Ear Podcast!@theracingearpodcast#judystropus@rickknoopracing#jeffoldham#motorsporthalloffameofamerica#rogerpenske#markdonohue

From 1966 to 1974, the unhinged Canadian American Challenge Cup (Can-Am) stirred innovation that has never been emulated. Can-Am's rulebook was thinner than a political party pamphlet, enticing manufacturers like McLaren, Lola and eventually Porsche, to build ever more outrageous machines. Porsche's assault on Can-Am was all-conquering. Partnered with Penske racing, Porsche unseated the undisputed Can-Am champions - McLaren. Driven by Mark Donohue and George Follmer, Penske's Porsches were envied by the paddock. Porsche's 917 Spyders won twelve of the seventeen events they entered. George Follmer became Can-Am champion in 1972 with the 917/10. Donohue followed in 1973 with the 917/30.
Host Bruce Martin takes NTT INDYCAR SERIES fans behind the scenes from the big Fourth of July Weekend race at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. Josef Newgarden's victory in the Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio on July 4 came on the 50thAnniversary of Team Penske's first Indy car win when Mark Donohue drove to victory in the 1971 Schaefer 500 at Pocono Raceway. Martin has an exclusive interview with INDYCAR and Indianapolis Motor Speedway Roger Penske, who also owns Team Penske, on this historic win. Newgarden finally broke his streak of bad luck that had kept him from winning the previous two races. He started on the pole and led 73 of the 80 laps in the race to score career victory No. 19. Martin interviews Newgarden after the race. Ohio's own Graham Rahal and seven-time NASCAR Cup Series champion and INDYCAR rookie Jimmie Johnson also drop in for quick interviews with Martin on this week's edition of Pit Pass Indy.

As the debut season of the surprisingly entertaining Tony Stewart/Ray Evernham-led Camping World SRX Series nears its conclusion next week, we dive deeper into the rabbit hole of one of its major influences - the legendary International Race of Champions (IROC) - with longtime automotive journalist and former Motor Trend magazine Executive Editor Matt Stone (“The IROC Porsches: The International Race of Champions, Porsche's 911 RSR & the Men Who Raced Them”). As table-set in our previous Episode 173 with former Indianapolis and Ontario Speedway exec Dave Lockton, IROC was envisioned as the American motorsports equivalent of a major “all-star” showcase - pitting twelve of the world's best professional drivers from racing's top competitive circuits in a series of races in identically prepared and maintained cars, in an effort to test participants' pure driving ability and determine the sport's true “champion.” Stone helps us with the backstory of IROC's operational formation - brought to life in late 1973 by racing executives Roger Penske, Les Richter and Mike Phelps in the form of an initial four-race roadcourse series across Riverside international Raceway (three qualifying races: 10/27-28, 1973) and Daytona International Speedway (final: 2/14, 1974) - all televised in tape-delayed glory on ABC's then-dominant sports anthology series Wide World of Sports. Inaugural invitees: NASCAR Winston Cup champions Bobby Allison, Richard Petty & David Pearson; SCCA Can-Am road-race standouts Mark Donohue, Peter Revson & George Folker; USAC Champ (Indy) Car winners Bobby Unser, A.J. Foyt, Gordon Johncock & Roger McCluskey; and Formula One stars Denis Hulme & Emerson Fittipaldi. And the now-iconic sports car initially selected to challenge them all: the purpose-built, virtually identical 1974 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.0 - all 16 originals of which are still alive, well, hugely revered, and highly sought-after today.
EPISODE FIVE we sit down with the Mark Donohue ower of LifeGuides, training Buddhist, focused on more conscious capital practices to "use business as a force for good." Mark has the vision to touch a BILLION people's lives over the next 15 years. Sometimes it is best to just "slow down" to take time to think and meet people where they are is key to building a great culture... "we must walk the talk."
Mobile banking usage is rising quicker than ever as a result of the pandemic. With close to 50% of consumers stating that mobile is a top-three factor that determines their choice of financial institutions (after fees), it is imperative that banks offer mobile features that consumers value most. However, it is not enough to just enable mobile banking capabilities. Banks must also remove friction and provide the user experience that consumers desire as well. The guest for the show is Mark Donohue, founder and CEO of Hong Kong-based iSky Research. In this episode, Mark discusses what makes a mobile banking leader, given the insight Mark has from monitoring hundreds of banks globally on functionality and user experience.

If a picture is worth a thousand words perhaps in Mitch Perry’s case, it’s a thousand notes. “There’s no doubt I’ve lived a circus life from the word go,” Mitch comments, perusing walls of photos that show him with legends from the worlds of racing, rock, and writing. Mitch’s library is astonishing. Thousands of books cascade down shelf-lined walls and he’s read every one. Pulling one of his favorites from its niche, he points to a picture of his father, a race car driver who competed against the likes of Mark Donohue and Dan Gurney in the 60’s and 70’s. For Mitch, life on the road began at birth. His nomadic parents dragged the family from race track to race track eventually landing them in London, England. It was there that Mitch’s first public performance took place at Westminster Abbey, singing with his school choir. “I never even considered a career in music,” he reminisces. “My heart was set on becoming a race driver like my dad.” Mitch’s passion for music was sparked at twelve by the passing nod of a cute classmate whose affections were turned towards a boy with a guitar. “I started to pick it up on my own at first, but then my mother got me an instructor. After one lesson, I told her if she ever wanted me to look at a guitar again, she’d let me learn it on my own, even though it was the pre-YouTube dark ages when we still had to learn by ear,” he laughs. At 16, after a near perfect score on the SAT’s, Mitch convinced his parents to let him take the GED and leave school behind. He moved into a band house with his new group The Kids. Their dedication eventually landed them a gig on one of the most visible stages in South Florida. In those days, if you were recording at Criteria Records or Quadradial chances are you frequented the Tight Squeeze Club. During his time there Mitch shared the stage with Bon Scott of AC/DC, Simon Kirke of Bad Company, Pat Travers, and a host of other celebrated performers. At 18, on Pat Thrall’s recommendation, Alfonso Johnson flew Mitch to L.A. to record an album. The rest is history. Mitch’s resume reads like a Who’s Who of music icons. His career has spanned decades playing with the best of the best. What is his recipe for success? “Stay teachable is one of the keys,” Mitch adds. After all these years, the man who is widely regarded as one of the top three rock guitarists in the world still practices four to six hours a day. “When I’m at home, I have a guitar in one hand and a piano in the other.” On being asked what inspires his writing, “It’s not something I push. It comes from anything at anytime. Saint Valentine was written on a plane, in my head. I often wake up at three a.m. with an idea that I have to write down.” While Mitch’s writing style may be organic, the sophistication and precision of his finished product clearly illustrates a craft that has been honed over decades. In the following years Mitch played with everyone from Graham Nash and Heaven to Michael Schenker, Edgar Winter, Lita Ford and countless others. He is featured on more than 60 albums, including Aerosmith’s Classics Live, where he actually plays keyboards. Mitch has toured with superstars such as Cher and Yazawa and played monumental venues including the Montreux Jazz Festival, Wembley and Buddakan. His prolific career has taken him to iconic recording studios, concert venues and television studios around the world. “All of these experiences and relationships with such extraordinary musicians has brought me to where I am today and you can find its DNA in every track on this new record.”

Strangest Cars I've Raced, the first in a new series on the Marshall Pruett Podcast, kicks off with legendary driver David Hobbs and the hilarious tales of the 1972 Lola T310 Can-Am car that did everything other than perform as expected.
