About this Episode
What makes a special place special? Wonderful people? Beautiful scenery? How you keep going back for more in the face of terrible odds? Some tracks are more than just tracks, and Wisconsin's Elkhart Lake—Road America—is far more than meets the eye.
This show’s format rotates every episode, because squirrel. We call this format "Sam Rambles About a Thing."
Related Trivia: Ross has opinions about track limits. You might get to hear them, you might not. Jeff recalls a time when his uncle Boom Boom was in a police chase. Sam, despite terrible weather conditions and a myriad of cheese issues, has never had a bad weekend in Wisconsin.
INTC's producer, Mike, wrote this episode description because Sam fell asleep at his keyboard while dreaming about never-ending bratwurst and being 24 again.
This episode was produced by Mike Perlman.

ABOUT THE SHOW:
It’s Not the Car is a podcast about people, motorsport, and how we all work under pressure. In other words, we tell racing stories and leave out the boring parts.
Ross Bentley is a former IndyCar driver and an internationally renowned performance coach and author. Jeff Braun is a championship-winning race engineer. Sam Smith is an award-winning journalist and a former executive editor of Road & Track magazine. Together, we explore the emotion at the heart of the machine.
We don’t love racing for the nuts and bolts—we love it for what it asks of the bag of meat at the wheel.
New episodes every Tuesday.
