We interview a lot of race car drivers on this podcast and they always have something interesting to say. A listener asked us if we could interview a race car driver’s parent and get their take on things. Bill Abel is the father of our last interviewee, Jacob Abel. We sat down at lunchtime with Bill during the Thermal Grand Prix weekend and he was kind enough to answer questions and share what it’s like being the dad of a race car driver and how far they’ve come as a family team to make it to the NTT INDYCAR SERIES. The father/son dynamic during a race weekend can be challenging with the ups and downs of how things are going. How does Bill navigate that aspect? Tune in and find out. Enjoy!
