In hour 2 of Race Central with Kurt Hansen, Kurt shares a story on  Willy T Ribbs. We listen in to Kevin Harvick talk about his time at Atlanta. We have more audio from Daytona winner William Byron.  Does Byron deserve more credit? What did Jeff Gordon have to say after Byron's win. Joe Star joins the show. 

Willy T. Ribbs pulls up with J for a Performance Talk episode. We're going to dive into Willy's life journey in the motorsports world. The harsh racism he stood up against to breakdown barriers that cracked doors for Lewis Hamilton and others to be viewed as equals to more than when Willy was pioneering in motorsports. We discuss his championship in formula Ford and how his own country suppressed and fought against him every step of the way.

In a market dominated by cultural preferences, Black Americans have demonstrated a significant financial commitment to the beauty and haircare industry. According to the 2018 Nielsen report, African Americans spent $54 million on beauty and haircare products in 2017.Despite the substantial spending power, Black entrepreneurs often struggle to own beauty supply stores as more than 70% of stores in the United States are owned by Korean Americans.The hold Korean Americans have on this sector can be traced back to their control over the vast majority of the supply chain, from manufacturing to distribution and retail of hair extensions.While owning a beauty supply store may be difficult for African Americans, it's not impossible, especially for those who are familiar with breaking barriers. In 2002, George Mack became the second African American driver to participate in the Indianapolis 500—following in the footsteps of Willy T. Ribbs, the first African American to compete in the event in 1991.Eventually, Mack's desire to embrace his heritage led him to rebrand himself from George Mack to Baron Bey. Transitioning from racing to entrepreneurship, he founded Coast Auto Care and Tires, a venture that resonated with his automotive enthusiasm.On this episode of "The Word with Jackie Rae," Bey shares how he navigated the challenges of transitioning from a race car driver to a thriving beauty supply store owner. Bey believes his establishment, Long Beach Hair Gallery, at 1323 Long Beach Blvd., stands as a testament to his determination and the potential for African Americans to succeed in a market that may have once seemed impenetrable.Long Beach Hair Gallery is open Monday to Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Coast Auto Care and Tires, is at 550 E Pacific Coast Hwy, and is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

After blowing three engines, Willy T Ribbs was about to give up on his dream of running in the Indy 500. With only hours left to get into the race, his team disassembled the engine, assessed the situation, and tried for a fourth time. They succeeded. That was the day Willy became a part of racing - and more importantly - American history. But why did it take so long for Willy to get the start he deserved? Where did he get his brash attitude and how did that affect his career? And how did he finally become the first African-American driver to race in the Indy 500?

Groot, groter, grootst! De tweede Amerikaanse Grand Prix trok alles uit de kast om de fans voorzien van een onvergetelijke Grand Prix, en dat is gelukt. Terwijl Max Verstappen er met de overwinning vandoor ging in Miami na een fantastische inhaalactie op Carlos Sainz en Charles Leclerc, kunnen we niet anders dan ook even stil te staan bij de neppe marina, Willy T Ribbs en de NFL helmen op het podium... Miami is een uniek evenement geworden, maar wel met de nodige WTF's.

Willy T. Ribbs has forged his way to success in professional auto racing like no other man in his chosen sport. From being the first African American to race at Indianapolis to testing Formula One cars and winning multiple IMSA GTO races, he's also driven for or been sponsored/supported by some of the biggest names in and out of the sport - Dan Gurney, Jack Roush (via Ford Motor Company), Bill Cosby and many others. They all believed in Willy enough to help him forge his path of success. He was inducted into the Long Beach Motorsports Walk of Fame just prior to the 2021 Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach and spent some time talking with us after he had popped in a quick “Hello” during fellow LBMWoF inductee Will Power's interview. I would've liked to have spent more time interviewing him, however he was interrupted during our chat and told that he had to get to another commitment. Enjoy!

The seven-time Trans-Am champion joins Davey this week (13:30) to discuss how he got into racing, his father's origins in the sport, sanctioning bodies bending the rules to let him race, the dynamic working for his dad and why he likes to tinker and work on cars.

His #96 car gave Dale Earnhardt what many consider to be his big break in NASCAR and Dale Jr. gets the low-down on how it all happened. As a "scrawny kid" he stood in his father's truck at Cronkrites shop as they readied the car for the World 600, a part of Dale Jr.'s life that Will brings to life in this fascinating conversation. The story was so much more! How did Willy T. Ribbs and Humpy Wheeler help create a chance that would springboard The Intimidator's career? Cronkite details the early days of a father and NASCAR Hall of Famer. Cronkrite's life changed with the tragic death of his wife and children. It was at this moment that everything pivoted to Auto Racing. He took his intense work ethic and desire from the cornfields of Ohio, to Indianapolis, and eventually the top-ranks of NASCAR. Along the way, he worked with legendary drivers like Benny Parsons, David Pearson, Donnie Allison, Mark Martin, Ricky Rudd, and more. He also worked around some characters, like tough Minnesotan Joe Frasson. Cronkrite shares a crash story for the ages with Frasson, bloodied, insisting on Cronkrite taping his hand to the steering wheel. Before he arrived in the southern stock car world, Cronkrite experienced a different side of racing in the Chicagoland area. He reveals how things were different in racing up there and how he was rewarded with diamonds for good performance. He also tells the tale of a gruesome fight that led to jail time and the fear of what was to happen when he was sprung by a "connected" individual involved in the racing operation. It's a story you have to hear to believe. Cronkrite talks about many racing topics from DiGard Racing, to working with a gutsy racing pioneer named Janet Guthrie. He also shares stories from his months working on the hit Burt Reynolds movie Stroker Ace, including when Dale Sr. shook down the Chicken Pit Special. The colorful Cronkrite tells a story about actress Loni Anderson and a lucky penny that he still has to this day. Before bringing in Cronkrite, Dale and co-host Mike Davis have an open discussion about how "me" turns to "we" after marriage. In AskJr presented by Xfinity, we find out what Dale Jr. predicts for 2022 with Roush Racing and new co-owner driver Brad Keselowski. He also talks about going radio-style at the Glen and the origins of his popular skeleton driving gloves. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Recorded in Spring of 2021, this was meant to be a Black History Month episode that got delayed for a number of reasons. It includes some discussion of the documentary "Uppity: The Willy T. Ribbs Story", but is not a review. It's more of a discussion of Willy's career and my memories of him as "the one Black guy" in sports car racing during my formative years in the late 80's and early 90's.

Roy Wood Jr. honors trailblazing Black race car drivers, including Wendell Scott, who made NASCAR history, and Willy T. Ribbs, the first Black driver to qualify for the Indianapolis 500. Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com

Racing legend Willy T Ribbs is a true renegade.In a sport that, at the time in the 70s and 80s, was populated by white men, he became the first black man to test a Formula 1 car, race in the Indy 500 and was one of the most successful drivers in the Trans Am series.And, being a black man in a white man's sport, he endured his share of racism...but thru it all, he maintained the attitude that he was going to prove the old addage, "If you want to be the man, you have to beat the man." His story was told in the documentary, "Uppity" ....and now at 66 yrs old, he's returned to racing alongside the likes of Bill Elliot, Tony Stewart, Bobby Labonte and more in the SRX racing series!!
