Tonight, on Beyond the Bricks with Jake Query and Mike Thomsen, Jake and Mike talk about the upcoming return to the Brickyard 400 this weekend and look back at this year’s Indianapolis 500 with Josef Newgarden going back-to-back and the heartbreak following Pato O’Ward getting passed on the final lap. Then they look back and reminisce about Parnelli Jones, who passed away back in June. They first look back at two Indy 500 Poles. 

In the second half of the show, Jake and Mike talk more about Parnelli Jones, and how he achieved racing immortality as he won the 1963 Indianapolis 500, along with the controversy that came with it.  

In the final segment of the show, Jake and Mike talk about how humble and how much of a gentleman Parnelli Jones was and how the 1967 Indy 500, driving for Andy Granatelli, slipped through his fingers in the closing laps due to a broke bearing.
