Jake and Mike bust some myths about the Indianapolis 500

On Beyond The Bricks, Jake Query and Mike Thomsen first pay tribute to Art Pollard, who died 49 years ago Thursday at IMS. They also bust some myths about the Indianapolis 500, dating back to the race's inception. We hear from Donald Davidson on IMS lore such as whether Ray Harroun actually won the first Indy 500. We also hear from Donald about 1913 winner Jules Goux, who drank champagne during the race. Later, Jake and Mike discuss myths from the 50s and 60s, including one about Jim Clark’s legendary win in 1965.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
