Hello again Racing Ears,
Here is another great episode of The Racing Ear Podcast. For this episode Trent, Jeff, and Rick got to chat with Brad Kettler formerly of Audi Sport and of Champion Racing.
Originally from Lafayette Indiana, Mr. Kettler was kind enough to come on and share how his passion for racing grew from being conveniently close to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway during the month of May during the 1970's. He also shares insight as to what the movie "Le Mans" with Steve McQueen meant to him and how the movie inspired him.
Mr. Kettler also brings to light several insights of what it means to be a racing engineer and a racing manager, before and after the 24 Hours Of Le Mans. Mr. Kettler was involved in 6 overall victories with Audi at the 24 Hours Of Le Mans. Brad Kettler was the team manager in 2005 when Champion Racing won the 24 Hours of Le Mans overall, giving Tom Kristensen his 7th overall victory.
Thank you so much for listening to this episode of The Racing Ear Podcast.
Many thanks to Jeff Oldham and Rick Knoop for arranging and adding insight for this episode. Be sure to check out Part 2 of our chat with Brad Kettler coming very soon on The Racing Ear Podcast.
