Up To Speed - The Fake NASCAR Driver

I wrote and produced this episode on the greatest unsolved mystery in motorsport. NASCAR topics rarely hit with the Donut audience. It's too bad, because I think this is the best episode of Up To Speed, period. It's a glimpse of the show I'd like to make, which delves into the weird corners of automotive history. I have a load of ideas for this. Let's make it happen.

Black Hills Pioneer
The Dawn of DUNE

It sounds like the plot of a science fiction blockbuster: An international team of scientists is hard at work on a cutting edge experiment to beam trillions of curious particles some 800 miles straight through the earth, from a national accelerator lab in rural Illinois to four massive particle detectors in an abandoned gold mine a mile below the streets of small town in South Dakota's Black Hills.
