Winning: The Racing Life of Paul Newman

submitted by lucky760

9 years 4 weeks ago

I think I'm like most people and for most of my life had not a clue that Paul Newman was a professional race car driver. He started in his 40s and did it basically for the rest of his life, but somehow most of the world still has no idea.

Adam Carolla is passionate about Paul Newman's passion for driving and felt his story needed to be told to the world, which is why he made this documentary. He himself is an occasional amateur race car driver and owns and races 5 of Paul Newman's cars.

I'm afraid that many of those of us interested in car racing know well that Paul Newman is a serious racer, and has been for decades. He's a big deal in the racing community....almost Steve McQueen level.
What was a surprise to me was Patrick Dempsey going to Lemans in 2013, I had no idea he was a serious racer....

Totally *promote following your dreams, no matter what others say or expect from you. You've lived your life well, Mr Newman. Winning indeed. Maybe *FTW?

Promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued Friday, April 10th, 2015 10:49am PDT - promote requested by newtboy.

Adding video to channels (Ftw) - requested by newtboy.

I'd assume anyone who's followed car racing at all would know it, but I was talking about the vast majority of people who knew Paul Newman only for his films, salad dressing, and Keurig K-cups.

I've never known anyone who had any idea he was a professional racer... but then of all the comment threads on all the video aggregators on all the Internet, you walked into this one and changed all that.

I remember in the 60's Newman dropped a Porsche engine into a VW Bug.

Guy makes some seriously awesome mild spaghetti sauce too.
