Tonight, on Beyond the Bricks with Jake Query and Mike Thomsen, they continue remembering the life of the 1963 Indianapolis 500 winner, Parnelli Jones, after his passing earlier in the year. Jake and Mike will focus on Parnelli's time as an owner in IndyCar primarily. You will hear from Parnelli and Al Unser Jr. discussing the Johnny Lightning sponsorship because it wasn't something that someone didn't want to do and the accident they were in resulting in an injury to Little Al.  Also, they spend some time focusing on the success that Parnelli had as an owner and his relationship with Mario Andretti because of the impact they had on each other’s careers. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tonight, on Beyond the Bricks with Jake Query and Mike Thomsen, Jake and Mike talk about the upcoming return to the Brickyard 400 this weekend and look back at this year’s Indianapolis 500 with Josef Newgarden going back-to-back and the heartbreak following Pato O’Ward getting passed on the final lap. Then they look back and reminisce about Parnelli Jones, who passed away back in June. They first look back at two Indy 500 Poles.  In the second half of the show, Jake and Mike talk more about Parnelli Jones, and how he achieved racing immortality as he won the 1963 Indianapolis 500, along with the controversy that came with it.   In the final segment of the show, Jake and Mike talk about how humble and how much of a gentleman Parnelli Jones was and how the 1967 Indy 500, driving for Andy Granatelli, slipped through his fingers in the closing laps due to a broke bearing. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
