Al Holbert, the great IMSA champion, Le Mans winner, and heart of Porsche's North American motorsports program, died 30 years ago on Sept. 30, 1988, in a plane crash leaving the Columbus street race. Holbert, one of my two biggest racing heroes, is remembered in conversations with his son Todd, legendary teammate Derek Bell, and colleague Alwin Springer from ANDIAL during the Rennsport Reunion VI at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca.

The sublime Porsche mechanic, crew chief, and restorer Kevin Jeannette--father of pro racer Gunnar Jeannette--visits The Marshall Pruett Podcast to share stories in a two-part My Racing Life and Career feature. He's run some of the world's greatest drivers--Foyt, Unser, Wollek, Holbert, and more, was entrenched in IMSA's glorious 1970s and 1980s, won all of the biggest endurance races, has owned more Porsche 962s than anyone--all after getting his start as a hot rodder in Southern California. And as a master storyteller, Jeannette opens with the bizarre tale of owning the VW Bus painted by Grateful Dead frontman Jerry Garcia...not once, but twice!
If you're a fan of Porsche, Jeannette's pure road and racing royalty.

Scott Pruett is back for the second installment of his racing life and career on the Marshall Pruett Podcast to talk through the transition from being a factory Ford Trans-Am and IMSA GTO driver to racing in IMSA's GTP series, then pooling his prize money to buy a seat in the CART IndyCar Series which launched an amazing run in open-wheel racing.
From an unforgettable rookie season with Truesports to nearly driving for the Porsche IndyCar team to the gruesome crash in testing that put Pruett through recovery hell for a year, the 58-year-old shines the spotlight on a rich period in his vast racing history.
