Watch our full conversation here: Lessons From The Indy 50
"I've been lucky enough to be a fan and still consider myself a fan, and I will never lose that. And I'm still a geek that loves cars and reads car magazines and all of those things, and I go to vintage things to see vintage cars, and I've had that passion, and it's like, it's my life."
- Beth Paretta"And what I'm most proud of is it proves that you can teach a team to do amazing things under pressure, under scrutiny. And if you give them the right guidance, if they have the aptitude and interest, if you give them the right tools and support, you can really get teams to do amazing things."
