Podcast
From Checkered to Green
Hosted by David Maute and Elliot Tardif · EN
Join two lifetime auto racing fans David and Elliot as they give you a different perspective on the sport of auto racing.
David and Elliot believe that the business aspects of auto racing -- always a prime mover in its progress -- will be progressively more important to the evolution of motorsports in the coming years, and so we will attempt to shine a light on this particular facet of the sport and discuss what we believe to be important issues facing some or all of the motorsports community now and going forward. We will cover past motorsport races, big new stories that might affect the business aspect of auto racing, and have a feature topic or guest interview dealing with the business aspect of auto racing
This podcast is for any auto racing fang (NASCAR, INDYCAR, NHRA, Formula 1, etc.)
