  • From man to myth: How Dale Earnhardt became immortal

    From man to myth: How Dale Earnhardt became immortal
    Feb 10 2026

    Twenty-five years ago, the racing world lost Dale Earnhardt at Turn 4 on the last lap of the 2001 Daytona 500, but while the man may not be here physically, his legacy remains an integral element of NASCAR — and American motorsport as a whole — to this day.

    But how exactly did that happen? How did Earnhardt — who started his career during an era where stock-car racing was still a niche sport — evolve into a cultural phenomenon and a household name still regularly evoked decades after his death? How did Dale Earnhardt: The Man become Dale Earnhardt: The Myth?

    That's exactly what we're going to find out on this month's episode of “Deadly Passions, Terrible Joys”. We'll start at the very beginning, with the racing legacy of Ralph Earnhardt followed by Dale Earnhardt's fitful early career and the professional polish applied by his third wife Teresa, which transformed one man's life into a myth that has withstood the test of time.

  • Jochen Rindt: The tragedy of Formula 1's only posthumous World Champion

    Jochen Rindt: The tragedy of Formula 1's only posthumous World Champion
    Sep 16 2025

    In 75 years of Formula 1 history, only one driver has been crowned World Champion after his death. In 1970, Austrian racer Jochen Rindt was so dominant behind the wheel of an exceptional car built by Colin Chapman of Team Lotus that no driver could bridge the gap to his place on the top of the championship standings despite there being four races remaining in the season after Rindt's death.

    Most F1 fans with any interest in the history of the sport know this — but fewer know the cloud of tragedy that followed Rindt throughout his life, casting dark, dramatic shadows over his every move.

    Orphaned at just over a year old, and seemingly powerless against his team bosses when it came time to advocate for greater safety, Rindt was a prickly competitor who was nevertheless fondly remembered by so many of his competitors, and who completely changed the name of the game when it came to professionalizing motorsport. Today on Deadly Passions, Terrible Joys, we're going to dig into the ill-fated story of Jochen Rindt's life, the shock of his death, and the legacy he left in his wake.

  • The death of Mark Donohue and the fall of Penske Racing in Formula 1

    The death of Mark Donohue and the fall of Penske Racing in Formula 1
    Aug 19 2025
    August 17, 1975. In warm-up for the Austrian Grand Prix, American icon Mark Donohue loses control of his March 751 after a tire fails. He careens through a metal Armco barrier and trackside signage and is knocked briefly unconscious in the wreckage. Against all odds, Donohue seems fine and heads back to the garage — where he begins to complain of a worsening headache. He's rushed to a local hospital, doctors urgent to operate on what has been diagnosed as a brain hemorrhage. It's not enough. Two days later, on August 19, Mark Donohue dies from injuries he sustained driving a Formula 1 car run by his longtime friend and racing team partner Roger Penske.For many motorsport fans here in the United States. Penske Racing's foray into Formula 1 remains one of the biggest ‘what ifs’ of all time, for so many reasons. What if Mark Donohue hadn't come out of retirement to race and develop the F1 car? What if Donohue had won Penske's first race? What if John Watson had been able to win more, to entice more sponsors, to give the team a reason to continue? What would Formula 1 look like today with a stronger American presence back in the late 1970s?We won't ever know. But this week on “Deadly Passions, Terrible Joys,” we're going to dig into what we do know about Penske Racing in Formula 1, Mark Donohue's death, and John Watson's triumph — which remains the most recent Grand Prix win by an American team.To find out more about Deadly Passions, Terrible Joys: https://linktr.ee/deadlypassionsterriblejoys Subscribe on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/deadlypassionsterriblejoysSubscribe on Substack: https://deadlypassionsterriblejoys.substack.com/ Follow DPTJ on BlueSky: @deadlypassions-pod.bsky.socialFollow DPTJ on Instagram: @deadlypassionsterriblejoysFollow DPTJ on Twitter/X: @terriblejoy_podWatch on YouTube: @eliz_blackstockFollow Elizabeth Blackstock on BlueSky: @elizablackstock.bsky.socialFollow Elizabeth Blackstock on Instagram: @elizablackstockFollow Elizabeth Blackstock on Twitter/X: @eliz_blackstockOrder Racing with Rich Energy: https://mcfarlandbooks.com/product/racing-with-rich-energyEpisode Bibliography: The Unfair Advantage by Mark DonohueInterview with John Watsonhttps://www.upi.com/Archives/1986/04/09/Settlement-reached-in-Donohue-case/7324513406800/https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/july-1998/73/professional/https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/october-1975/35/austrian-grand-prix-16/https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=a61VAAAAIBAJ&sjid=J-ADAAAAIBAJ&pg=6311%2C5102237https://www.nytimes.com/1975/08/20/archives/donohue-38-dead-of-racing-injuries-mark-donohue-is-dead-of-racing.htmlhttps://www.historicracing.com/driverDetail.cfm?driverID=2759https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/may-2005/16/nigel-roebucks-legends-7/ https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/august-2021/51/roger-penske-the-motor-sport-interview/https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/november-1974/42/canadian-grand-prix-13/https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/february-1975/26/the-formula-one-situation/ https://www.newspapers.com/image/398676916/?match=1&terms=%22eden%20donohue%22 https://www.newspapers.com/image/115605105/?match=1&terms=eden%20donohue%2C%20goodyear&_gl=1%2abwy9fu%2a_up%2aMQ..&gclid=CjwKCAiAqrG9BhAVEiwAaPu5zinarN6sTwRXIAG8BQ7n5kyw7AKyBsnsc1bFahJmRyS6Uh9Oub71ohoCHcgQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.dshttps://www.newspapers.com/image/622389810/?match=1&terms=%22eden%20donohue%22%2C%20goodyear&_gl=1%2a2uh6x%2a_up%2aMQ..&gclid=CjwKCAiAqrG9BhAVEiwAaPu5zinarN6sTwRXIAG8BQ7n5kyw7AKyBsnsc1bFahJmRyS6Uh9Oub71ohoCHcgQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.dshttps://www.newspapers.com/image/437277431/?match=1&terms=%22eden%20donohue%22%2C%20goodyear&_gl=1%2a2uh6x%2a_up%2aMQ..&gclid=CjwKCAiAqrG9BhAVEiwAaPu5zinarN6sTwRXIAG8BQ7n5kyw7AKyBsnsc1bFahJmRyS6Uh9Oub71ohoCHcgQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
