Let's take you back 125 years to a cold, November, Thanksgiving day in Chicago, 1895. Early morning, with the air hovering around the 30 degree mark, six cars stand at a starting line awaiting an experience like none before in the United States, or rather the first ever "car" race recorded in the country. Lalita and Josh take you through the innovation, the conception, the stubborn and fate of that first race and the impact it would have on the consequently swelling trend and coming of what would be the automotive industry and motorsports.
