Welcome to the Legend of the Death Race Podcast, where you’ll hear the legends of past Death Racers, new and old.
This week's podcast features the father of all death racers, 2007 Inaugural Winner Doug Lewis. Doug, was an Olympic medalist in skiing who went into the Death Race expecting little more than a quick trail run on that fateful day 13 years ago. Fast forward through race history and we find that the roots of the Death Race continue to share many common themes today. Values including willingness, uncertainty, and the drive to overcome any obstacle in the path. I hope you enjoy this unbelievable story of the first-ever Death Race.
