Jake and Mike hear Donald Davidson recount drivers that made the crossover from NASCAR to IndyCar

Beyond the Bricks Podcast

Tonight on Beyond the Bricks, Jake Query and Mike Thomsen say goodbye to producer Sam Rumpza, for now, and Mike tells the story how he got into TV and radio in Indianapolis and how that parlayed into talking about racing and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Then, Jake and Mike discuss the incident Cale Yarborough was a part of at the 1979 Daytona 500 that put NASCAR on the map, as well as how rare it was for NASCAR drivers to come over to open-wheel racing.

Then, we hear from IMS Historian Emeritus Donald Davidson on Yarborough at IMS as well as stories on driver Donnie Allison. To round out the show, Davidson tells stories about Lee Roy Yarbrough.
