About this listen

Join Ollie Bennett as he explores the scrappy, Depression-era origins of soapbox racing—born from wooden crates, stolen roller skate wheels, and pure ingenuity. From Dayton backyards to Akron's Derby Downs, discover how broke kids invented the purest motorsport on Earth with nothing but gravity, guts, and gloriously bad ideas.
