Tremendous opening of @heartlandfilm with the premiere of “First Five” - documenting Bob Knight’s first class of Steve Ahlfeld, Doug Allen, Steve Green, John Kamstra, and John Laskowski.
A ton of #IUBB nostalgia.
Highly recommend. 🎥
Q: How did it all start for 2-time #Indy500 winner Gordon Johncock?
A: At the age of 5 on a John Deere tractor.
A look back at a treasured trip to South Branch, MI and a piece I did on Gordy, the 1976 #INDYCAR champ, in 2019. #RIPGordy

INDYCAR is deeply saddened to learn of Gordon Johncock's passing.
The 1976 series champion was known for his hard-charging, no-nonsense style that led him to two Indy 500 victories and 25 wins. "Gordy" was 90.
Was great to have Barry Melrose swing by the station a few years ago. And what a personality and wit. So good. Loss of a legend tonight.
Rest easy, Barry.
Now that's how you do a doubleheader! The biggest thank you to our Milwaukee Mile fans for being there through it all at the Snap-on INDYCAR Weekend 🏁
History was made, the energy went through the roof, and this race couldn't have happened without you!
Here's to many more years 😉

Nothing like having a newspaper or magazine in your hands. But I’m old school. You’re a helluva journo, David. There’ll be more years to come.
See you in a few weeks!
