F-R Racing's Garage Talk

Release Date: 11-22-2024 05:00

Returning to the show for the fifth time (4 recorded episodes, 1 live show) is our old friend, Andy Amendola of Red Racer Books. Andy is here today to talk about his new book, "Josef's Big Dream" that he wrote in partnership with two-time Indianapolis 500 winner, Josef Newgarden and his wife Ashley.

We talk to Andy about how he was introduced to the Newgarden's for the first time and his process of writing the book with Josef and Ashley.

This was Andy's first biographical book and his approach was very different from the previous books. As part of his work with IndyCar and the Newgardens', Andy and his family attended the Indianapolis 500 for the first time in 2024. He shares his experience of the weekend and going on track to have his photo with back-to-back winner Josef Newgarden.

Finally, Andy shares the story of how Josef and Ashley flew down to his house and he autographed the first 500 copies of the book that were sent out to lucky buyers. It's a story you won't want to miss.

Josef's Big Dream and all Red Racer Books are available at Red Racer Books.com or on Amazon.
