MP 864: George Mack, My Racing Life and Career Jun 25, 2020

Show notes

George Mack, the last African-American driver to compete in the NTT IndyCar Series, joins the Marshall Pruett Podcast for an in-depth episode of My Racing Life and Career.

The Los Angeles native authored one of the most improbable open-wheel stories of the century where, with the new 310 Racing team in 2002, he went straight from karting to the all-oval Indy Racing League...with no oval experience and no experience racing cars.

It's the story of a remarkable man, from a remarkable family, who had a single season 18 long years ago to demonstrate his potential while facing impossible odds.

Show notes

It's another packed episode of The Week In IndyCar Listener Q&A show, all driven by questions submitted via social media.

A sampling of the items posed this week (Q&A begins at the 18m06s mark in the episode):

"Alex Zanardi is one of the few people I would consider a hero. Do you have any Zanardi stories you'd like to share?"

"Are you satisfied with the response from INDYCAR regarding the social issues taking place in our country right now?"

"In the last mailbag, Robin Miller rated IRL 1996-1999 years as kind of second-class racing compared to the 2000's when CART teams began to switch to IRL. What are your thoughts about IRL racing in the 1990s?"

"Is it realistic that the next series of engine and/or aero regulations could be designed to induce more lifting and/or braking at large ovals?"
