About this Episode
And other things! Step right up to hear about work life at one of the world’s strangest day jobs!
Do we share secrets on this episode? Do some of them involve Sam giggling at the wheel of a NASCAR Cup car at Road America, or Ross curb-jumping minivans at Thunderhill with Black Sabbath blasting from the speakers? Will this episode’s description be all questions, or will it actually have something to say?
I don’t know—what do you think?
This show’s format rotates weekly, because squirrel. We call this ep’s framework “Sam Tells a Story.” Or in this case, multiple stories, mostly from his eight years on staff at Road & Track magazine.
Related Trivia: Sam writes these episode descriptions. Ross and Jeff have not asked him to stop. Yet.
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.
