Jake and Mike celebrate “Rocket” Rick Mears

On Beyond The Bricks, Jake Query and Mike Thomsen talk about arguably the best to ever take to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Rick Mears. They discuss how Mears made his way from Bakersfield, California to the corner of 16th and Georgetown, and how he immediately took to IMS. We hear calls from Rick’s four Indy 500 wins, and hear from the legend about his relationship with Roger Penske, why his 1991 victory was the most satisfying, and how he outdueled Michael Andretti during the Diamond Jubilee edition of the Indy 500. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
