Welcome to the Marshall Pruitt podcast.

Part 2 are My Racing Life and Career feature with team owner, motor racing executive, auto racing executive, ass kicker in charge, Beth Peretta.

Get into part two here, continuing the story of going to work as part of fiat and

Chrysler's executive team move into the dodge viper championship winning dodge

viper america lamass series slash imsa program which she oversaw get into grace auto sport

her first attempt to field an indyCar team, and then move forward

through this final hour of the conversation of Peretta Auto Sport and bringing what was originally

this grace concept of largely women racers proving that, hey, we as good if not better than any of the teams

out there that are comprised of men and seeing the continuation of this really come to fruition

so we recorded this a month or two before peretta auto sports debut at the indy 500 i mentioned

at the beginning of part one.

Really happy to see that things went well for them. It was a struggle, but ended up having a very

positive ending for Beth and her team. And they are certainly working on returning for

year two, the Indy 500 as an entrant with Samona. So nothing but positives.

There, one overarching note for this Part 2 episode, there's some emotional parts,

in particular, maybe the second half of it.

I'm raising my hand right now saying there were some tears shed from your host, and Beth certainly was having to fight back some tears on her end.

It's just real conversation, real stuff. None of it was performative.

We've had these conversations before privately.

Or, I don't know, privately sounds like there's some top secret thing about it.

That's not true.

But just sharing with you, I hope you enjoy this.
