From the roar of The Brickyard to the drama of the Indy 500, this episode takes you through the high-speed story of IndyCar. Discover how a dusty oval in Indiana became home to one of motorsport's greatest traditions, how rivalries nearly tore the sport apart, and how it all came back together to form the thrilling, unpredictable series we see today. If you've ever wondered how America does open-wheel racing, this is where to start.
