Hot Rods and Racing Cars #3

Dario Resta brought methodical precision to the 1916 Indianapolis 500, piloting a Peugeot to victory with careful preparation and disciplined driving that required only one extra pit stop. His measured approach to the race earned him the first-place prize and a spot in the annals of speedway history.

The California sun gleams off the Pebble Beach Cup Race circuit—a winding 2.1-mile course carved through Monterey Peninsula woods—as drivers push their sports cars to the limit in this 1952 West Coast showdown. Ben Pollack guns his Cad-Allard into the lead at the start, with Armstrong in a matching machine right behind him, ready to strike; meanwhile Phil Hill and others jockey for position as the field tears through sharp turns and open stretches at breakneck speed. This close-fought battle for the trophy delivers tight finishes and unexpected drama on one of America's newest racing venues.

Speed Davis has racing blood in his veins, but when a prize bull breaks loose at the Hopkins Country Fair, he finds himself behind the wheel in a desperate mission far more dangerous than any track—using his hot rod as an unlikely bulwark to protect fairgoers from a ton of wild beef. With perfectly-timed driving and nerves of steel, Speed must corral the charging animal before it plows through the crowds, all while Terry awaits his chance to race.

In 1952, Eddie Hearne faced a crucial race at Beverly Hills—Milton in fourth place, needing just a third-place finish to clinch the national championship. When Hearne spots a worn tire on Milton's car during their competitive duel, he seizes the moment with a bold challenge that tests what truly makes a racing champion.

When Pete De Paolo gets his shot at the speedway in 1922, he's determined to prove himself worthy of the racing legacy around him—but it'll take years, grit, and more than one chance behind the wheel before he achieves something that no driver has managed before. This is the true story of the plucky racer who became the first to break through the 100-mile-per-hour barrier, a record that would stand for a decade.
