<p>Tony Roper dreamed of racing in NASCAR. He got within touching distance but never quite made it. At 35 he was thinking about retirement but the race at Texas Motor Speedway unfortunately put pay to that. Not only did the Roper family lose Tony, but within the year, another tragic incident happened. </p>

Tony Roper - Dreaming of NASCAR

When you look back on the history of Motorsport, one thing tragically stands out..... The amount of men and Women who gave their lives to try and take a step on the podium.
In this podcast I will be looking back at those who loved Motorsport, knew the risks when pulling on the crash helmet and gave it everything, including their lives. Who were they? Why did they race? What did we learn from their sacrifice? Could the outcome have been any different.
Covering everything on four and two wheels, from F1 to the IOM TT and beyond. 
This is Dying to Race
