Day 26 of Jewish Heritage Month and Indy 500 day: Eddie Sachs, despite his prominence and colorful personality in the world of auto racing, did not have widely documented contributions specifically to the Jewish community. Most of his legacy is tied to his career and persona in auto racing rather than any notable impact on Jewish cultural or philanthropic activities. Sachs is primarily remembered for his charismatic presence in the sport, his entertaining approach to racing, and his tragic death at the Indianapolis 500. If there were significant contributions to the Jewish community, they are not well-recorded in mainstream historical accounts. Eddie Sachs had a notable impact on auto racing through his charismatic personality and his philosophy towards the sport. Here are some key contributions: 1. **Entertainment Value**: Sachs was known as the "Clown Prince of Auto Racing" due to his flamboyant and entertaining personality. He brought a sense of showmanship to the sport, which helped attract fans and media attention. His famous phrase, "If you can't win, be spectacular," epitomized his approach to racing and his understanding of the importance of engaging the audience. 2. **Competitive Spirit**: Sachs was a fierce competitor who always aimed to win or put on a great show. This competitive spirit raised the bar for other drivers and teams, pushing them to improve their performance and strategies. 3. **Technical Skills**: As a skilled driver, Sachs achieved significant success in various races, including multiple pole positions at the Indianapolis 500. His technical prowess and driving skills were respected by his peers and contributed to the overall advancement of racing techniques and strategies. 4. **Safety Awareness**: Sachs's tragic death in a fiery crash at the 1964 Indianapolis 500 highlighted the dangers of auto racing and underscored the need for improved safety measures. His accident, along with others, led to increased efforts to enhance safety in racing, including the development of fire-resistant suits and better car designs to protect drivers. Overall, Eddie Sachs's impact on auto racing extended beyond his victories and showmanship; he played a role in advancing the sport's competitive edge and in catalyzing important safety improvements. #jewishheritagemonth #eddiesachs #indy500 #racecars

UPDATE 3:35pm ET: Front Row Motorsports just officially announced that they have purchased one of the SHR charters. So, officially, that is one of the four now gone. ORIGINAL POST: I've had several people reach out to me for my opinion, so here is my two cents -- By now, the world knows that Stewart-Haas Racing is closing down at the end of this season. My heart is broken for all of the SHR employees. This is always the sad part of the racing family. The big question now is what will happen with the four NASCAR Cup Series charters owned by SHR and how much are they really worth. The rumor mill says the charters are worth about $40 million each. However, there is no charter deal in place with the teams and NASCAR and they seem very far apart. There is no TV deal with the teams and NASCAR and they seem very far apart. My thoughts are this for what it is worth and I could be completely off my rocker -- If SHR leases the charters as other charter owners have done instead of selling them right now until the new charter and TV deal is negotiated and finalized between the teams and NASCAR, the possible advantages: 1. Leasing would provide an opportunity for an entity such as JR Motorsports, a new team owner, or a new manufacturer (Honda or Dodge) to come in to the Cup Series at a more manageable cost to "test the waters" for a sustainable business model moving forward. Additionally, this would provide the opportunity for the teams to build corporate partnerships (sponsorships) based on a "known" instead of an "unknown" of whether the team will have a charter and starting position for a specific term. 2. Leasing would provide the opportunity for SHR to potentially monetize the charters even more with a "lease with option to buy" scenario based on how the charter and TV deal play out -- could make them worth more than $40M. Right now, it is an "unknown" scenario which could make the charters worth less in the eyes of an investor. 3. Potentially, NASCAR could be in violation of their own contract with the networks for at least a 36-car field if the charters are not sold and in place on time. This makes the "lease with option to buy" scenario an advantage as it would not violate the contract terms for a 36-car field. Your thoughts? #racing #motorsports

Plymouth completely redesigned the Belvedere/Satellite/Road Runner series for 1971 with a handsome fuselage theme. The coupes and hardtops were now quite different from the more conventional sedans and wagons. The two-doors had a low recessed grille surrounded by a loop bumper, flared fenders and a high trunk. 1971 Plymouth Road Runners could be recognized by the “ladder stripe” running down the C-pillars. The new Road Runner Hardtop was shorter, but the wheelbase was longer. Performance was being eroded by insurance rates and emissions issues, and this would be the last year for the high-powered engines. The muscle car party coming to an end, and there were no more Superbirds no convertibles, while the Road Runner and GTX were limited to just one Hardtop model each. Plymouth sold 651,812 units in 1971, nine percent less than 1970, while the industry rose 31 percent overall. As a result, the division dropped from third to sixth place nationally. On a brighter note, Richard Petty came back to drive his signature #43 blue Hemi Road Runner and won his 3rd NASCAR Grand National Championship.

And NOW, we interrupt your regularly scheduled programming for a post about the Indy 500, and more largely the motorsports industry. 🏎 🏍🖲 💚 ❤️ 💛 💙 🖤 Manufacturing, technology, and life sciences are big economic impacts for many state economies. Racing, while niche can also greatly impact a community and state. In North Carolina, the motorsports industry accounts for $6B. In Henry County, Georgia, their track draws $250M in economic activity. In Indiana, the IMS, the oldest operating racetrack in the United States, hosts the world's largest single-day sporting event, the Indianapolis 500 in May.  It's a sight to behold. Even more impressive, the Indy 500's impact during the month of May is more than half of the state's economic activity, about $1B in total. 😮 😲 🤯 Communities focusing on a particular industry, like racing, can see that economic impact really racks up.

The smile on Jeff True 's face after Seize the Grey ran away with the 2024 Preakness Stakes, inspired me to plough my humble winnings into Caldera. It took less than 2 minutes on MyRacehorse to become a fractional shareholder of this promising colt. A whopping 0.008% at that...but that's all it takes to learn and enjoy the sport and the excitement of wagering. As the South African horse racing industry faces ongoing headwinds, the following remains true. In order for the tides to rise, to raise all ships, all stakeholders need to be transformative and move on from antiquated UX's. Transformation effort and investment cannot fall onto one category of stakeholder. It is fantastic that the three operators have strong shareholder support allowing them to add new revenue streams (in addition to tote and content distribution) and improve their on-track propositions. These efforts are much needed to grow the sport, however.... declining horse populations and a lack of an increase in racehorse owners, is a universal problem to all industry stakeholders. I would encourage all SA horse racing industry stakeholders to take time to look beyond their inward facing efforts and be inspired by initiatives like MyRacehorse, and to collaborate with each other to make sure the tide does not fall for all.

”Racing is life, everything else is just waiting” (Steve McQueen)… Which is really how I’ve how been feeling waiting 8 weeks for my 2nd race of the season, which took place yesterday at Brands Hatch. I’ve found more recently, however, that you’re never actually waiting, even if it does feel like a long stint between race meetings, because life is busy and action packed being a business owner and a mum. Each time a race weekend comes around, it almost feels like a weekend retreat for me doing something I love, so you can imagine how excited I was to have the opportunity to get back into racing after a 9 year hiatus! But it’s not ONLY for fun: 🔹 In 2022 we won our series and I won 4 trophies with the BWRDC and was awarded overall champion 🔹 In 2023 we won our class and I won 3 BWRDC trophies and received a GoldStar award! Interestingly, I’m driving more competitively now than when I raced before having the kids! 😳 If you’d like to get in on the action through partnering with me/us for any of the upcoming races, send me a message so we can talk about collaboration and levels of coverage for you (and your business)! If you want to see more about what happens at each race, and a race report from the weekend, head to @claire.norman.motorsport on Instagram. 🏎️ #Motorsport #BrandsHatch #OpenToSponsorship

NHRA Drag Racer Broke 300 MPH in the 1/8 Mile for the First Time Ever https://lnkd.in/d9nTj3rz A new milestone in drag racing has been reached: Mike Salinas is the first person in the National Hot Rod Association’s (NHRA) history to go 300 mph in the 1/8th mile. Drivers have gotten within one mph of the record before, but Salinas definitively broke it with a 300.80 mph run at 660 feet during qualifying at the NHRA Carolina Nationals. The race to reach 300 mph in the 1/8th mile has been something of a drag racing white whale. Since the NHRA reduced Top Fuel race lengths from a quarter mile to 1,000 ft following Scott Kalitta’s death in 2008, top speed has become less of a priority. Racers have focused even more intensely on developing cars to accelerate rapidly, which led to a decade-plus campaign to break acceleration records. Top Fuel has since reached the same top speeds in 1,000 ft that 2007-era cars reached in the quarter mile, which marks the stunning rate of development at the top-flight class of drag racing.
