This episode we are joined by "The Roger Penske of Soapbox Derby Racing" Mr. Jerry Pearson. For those of us that remember having to wait in traffic to get into IMS in May, you may remember passing a downhill derby track by 30th street. I was pleasantly surprised to find out they do in fact still have soapbox derby races at that track, and many others across the country! Jerry is a 40+ year veteran of the sport and is apart of an organization called Indy Derby Racers where they teach derby racing to the inner-city kids of Indianapolis AND take them to participate in races across the country. Jerry is a wonderful guy who's very passionate about derby racing and he has some incredible stories to tell!
