    PIT PASS INDY – SEASON 4, EPISODE 63 – Mark Montieth, author of ‘VUCKOVICH The Man Who Wouldn’t Lift’ December 17, 2024 Show host Bruce Martin has a special Pit Pass Indy, featuring an exclusive interview with Mark Montieth, an author and former sportswriter at The Indianapolis Star who helped turn a manuscript that was also 70 years old into a book on one of the greatest legends in Indianapolis 500 history. The book is entitled, “VUKOVICH The Man Who Wouldn’t Lift” and tells the incredible life story of the great Bill Vukovich, who won back-to-back Indianapolis 500s in 1953 and 1954 and was running away with the lead in the 1955 500-Mile Race before he was killed while leading the race in a crash on the backstretch. He was just 36 years old. Racing fans have heard the name “Bill Vukovich” but few know the story of the man. Montieth was able to take a manuscript written by Indianapolis News sportswriter Angelo Angelopolous, who died of Leukemia in 1962, into a hardcover book by Halfcourt Press in Indianapolis. The book is available at Amazon.com or by contacting Mark Montieth at markmontieth55@gmail.com. Signed copies are also available by contacting Montieth. It would make a great Christmas or holiday gift for any Indianapolis 500 or IndyCar fan. For more INDYCAR coverage, follow Bruce Martin at X, previously known as Twitter, at @BruceMartin_500

    PIT PASS INDY – SEASON 4, EPISODE 58 – Team Penske’s “Season for the Ages” with Roger Penske November 12, 2024 Show host Bruce Martin celebrates Team Penske’s “Season for the Ages” as Team Penske nearly completed a sweep of 2024. Penske won the NASCAR Cup Series Championship for the third season in a row, the fifth in team history, when Joey Logano won the NASCAR Cup Series Championship with a victory in the final race of the season at Phoenix Raceway on November 10, 2024. It’s the first time Roger Penske’s team won the Indianapolis 500 with Josef Newgarden, the NASCAR Cup Series Championship with Logano, the IMSA WeatherTech Sports Car Title with Porsche Penske Motorsport and the World Endurance Championship (WEC) Drivers’ title, also with Porsche Penske Motorsport. Ironically, the only season championship that Penske didn’t win in 2024 was the NTT IndyCar Series Championship. Penske is the owner of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the Indianapolis 500 and IndyCar. His latest title is the first time his NASCAR Cup Series team has finished 1-2 in the championship. It was the third-straight NASCAR Cup Series Championship for Penske. In the 76-year history of NASCAR, he is just the third team owner to win at least three NASCAR Cup Series Championships in a row. Penske joins legends Junior Johnson and Rick Hendrick in that category. For more INDYCAR coverage, follow Bruce Martin at X, previously known as Twitter, at @BruceMartin_500

    PIT PASS INDY – SEASON 4, EPISODE 57 – How Borg-Warner Trophy Sculptor William Behrends dealt with Hurricane Helene as he creates a second face for Indy 500 winner Josef Newgarden November 5, 2024 Show host Bruce Martin has an exclusive interview with William Behrends, the famed sculptor who creates the face of the Indianapolis 500 that becomes part of the permanent Borg-Warner Trophy. Behrends art studio and home are located in Tryon, North Carolina. On September 27, 2024 Hurricane Helene ravaged the Western North Carolina area, including Tryon. Behrends was in the process of creating Josef Newgarden’s face in clay – part of the lengthy process that is ultimately reduced to the size of an egg and cast in sterling silver before it is attached to the trophy. Newgarden was scheduled to sit in for a live study at Behrends’ studio in Tryon on October 4, but the damage in Western North Carolina left many communities devastated with many of the citizens stranded as roads and bridges were washed away. Behrends explains how he was able to complete the process while giving an update on the ongoing recovery effort in Western North Carolina.
