Put yourself in a situation listeners.

Imagine that you have been driving all day, but not on any road trip.

No, on a mission of vengeance.

Your heart is thumping.

Your body is on its last legs, and you might be about to blow up your car or make history.

Hi, my name is Ben.

My name is Noel, and Ben, I have to tell you, and I'm going to come clean right up front.

It wasn't until during the research for this episode that I actually understood why those people drive around in circles all day long.

Right. Yes. Today we are delving into racing, not just any race, but one of the most important moments in one of the world's most important races.

And for a lot of people who aren't already race fans, racing is a weird thing.

You know what I mean? Like what you're just what everybody's just going left for a while.

I just straight up didn't understand the rules or anything about it.

Like I just didn't. So this was a very eye opening thing for me, and I'm going to defer largely to you on this

Ben because many listeners may know you had a podcast for many years called car stuff where you delved into all things automotive.

And I believe you guys did an episode on this very subject.

Yes. Yes. Thank you. No. Yes. My co-host Scott Benjamin and I who long time listeners will remember from several other shows,

including stuff they don't want you to know, which you know, and I do with our esteem's compatriot Matt Frederick.

We spent nine years examining everything that floats fly swims or drives as a dope tagline.

Thank you. Thanks, man. And one of the things that we loved exploring and that listeners loved exploring with us was the behind the scenes stories of automotive fame or infamy.

Because you know, nowadays we're recording this in 2018.

You can look at the hundreds of new cars that come out every year.
