It's the 1970s, and the fight for women's rights is gaining speed. In the sports world, Billie Jean King is breaking gender barriers on the tennis court.

Guthrie smiles through the pain and qualifies for Indy in 1978.

When a mysterious military vet lures hundreds of bikers on a ludicrously dangerous transcontinental motorcycle ride, he draws in a Sioux shaman, a British financier, and a Hollywood auteur with helicopters and private jets.

In this rollicking, true story, Michael Brick chases the Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge from Arizona to the Pine Ridge Reservation, with a brief interlude in Las Vegas.

Ci sono piloti che vincono, altri che restano nella Storia. Ma c'è un solo pilota che nel ricordo fa ancora battere il cuore. Ayrton Senna è stato l'ultimo mito di un'era romantica e sentimentale. Era un sognatore, dei sognatori aveva l'ingenuità e la ferocia. Reggeva l'aura del predestinato, serbava la malinconia dell'eroe solitario, coltivava il fascino irresistibile di chi è di tutti senza appartenere mai a nessuno, offriva il profilo al destino che si stava compiendo. Raccontarlo oggi - scartando la banale contabilità dei trionfi - significa tornare a recitare un atto di fede.

NASCAR has traditionally been a Southern white man’s sport, but it was knocked off its axis when Bill Lester entered the playing field. He had not grown up in the sport as so many other drivers had. Instead, he enjoyed racing as a side hobby while he worked as an engineer at Hewlett-Packard. Then, at age 40, while standing on the brink of peril or promise, he quit his job to pursue racing full-time. Blessed with natural talent, Bill still had a trifecta of odds against him: He was Black, he was middle-aged, and he wasn’t a Southerner.

In NASCAR, as in life, the difference between winning and losing often comes down to being in the right place at the right time and making the most of every opportunity. Nobody understands that better than Dave Alpern. Dave started his career as an unpaid intern selling T-shirts for the newly formed Joe Gibbs Racing team. Nearly three decades later, he’s now the president of JGR, a multimillion-dollar elite, record-setting racing team with more than 500 employees. In Taking the Lead, Dave shares the wisdom he’s learned along the way.

The powers-that-be in auto racing in the 1920s, namely the American Automobile Association's Contest Board, prohibited everyone who wasn't a White male from the sport. Dewey Gaston, a Black man who went by the name Rajo Jack, broke into the epicenter of racing in California, refusing to let the pervasive racism of his day stop him from competing against entire fields of White drivers. In The Brown Bullet, Bill Poehler uncovers the life of a long-forgotten trailblazer and the great lengths he took to even get on the track.
