You're listening to taking stock with pim Box and Kathleen Hayes on Bloomberg Radio the Memorial Day weekend. It means one thing in the
world of automobile racing. It means the Indianapolis five hundred. Indeed, this Sunday, twelve nine pm, the flag will go down and of the one running of the Indie five hundred will be presented by pen Grade Motor Oil. He'll be two hundred laps and one of the gentlemen doing those lapses Stephen Wilson. He is of course a race car driver and he joins us now from Indianapolis and you can follow him on Twitter at steph Underscore Wilson. Thanks very much for being with us. Tell us about the
race and also your campaign. It's entitled Think Solar. Hey, yeah, great to be here. Thank you for having me show. Yeah, the race every year it's it's pretty exciting, you know, the month of May and indian Apolis. You see the transformation of the city as it gets ready for one of the one of the great spectacles and in racings. So this year being the hundred thing at the end of the race, it's just a lot more high. There's a lot more activity in the city and can tell
it is an atmosphere for something special. It's about to happen. So yeah, no, really really please and really on it to be those ready free drivers that's about to take the green flag. Thank Solar. Your brother Justin died in August of last year injuries sustained at the Rising Indy Car Series raise of Pocono Raceway not too far from here. This seems to be one of the great galvanizers for you to pour yourself into and your racing career into. Think solar just is apply to race car driving? Where
is this going? Yeah? So I'm actually a part of the two campaigns. The campaign for Brandy this year for me is driven to say've lots um and that it's basically a thing Justin and what he was able to do, uh in his pass thing which he was able to actually become a it was an organ donor, um arched organ donor and was able to stay five lives. And you know, we're trying to honor that and increase donor registration UM. And at the same time, something I've been
really passionate about is I think solar. I mean that I actually saw over a year ago, UM games at increasing solar ad option here in the Indie cospel and it seems sort of a little bit confusing to hear a race kind driver is concerned about the environment and UM that appreciate the environment and sees, you know that the way we produce energy could be could be harmful to it. So for me, solar is such a it's such a viable solution to produce energy and at the
same time UM benefit the environment. So that was that was something I'm passionate about him. UM wants to basically introduce SOLA into the sport of Indica wherever we can power the garage area was a lot of electricity, electricity usage for even on pit lane. We all have these tip boxes where all that crew basically sit around tiny monitors and and computers analyzing data sort of energy usage there. So my idea was to to maybe take that unit
off the grid and power it with SOLA. Now, Stephen, you're gonna be driving a number twenty five the k V Chevy correct That's correct? Yeah, all right, And you've got some major competition. I know, for example that Tony Cannon, the veteran Brazilian, he's looking for his second indianapis five victory. And I believe that in the final practice he reached two hundred and twenty six miles per hour, that was his fastest lap. Yeah, yeah, I know, that's an average speed.
I mean that's what's incredible about India. You know, it's it's center of innovation, and you know, the average speed around here is how we judge, you know, how we rank the order. And when people here two hundred twenty six, they figure, oh, that's that's his top speed. But now that's that's actually his average. You know, that's what he
was there with you around here. So that means that on the straight away as you're reaching about two hundred thirty miles an hour children thirty two maybe, and the corner is just with the scrub through the corners, you actually dropped down into flow to twenties, which gives you that average. What's your strategy in this race? Stofun Well, for me, I'm actually a rookie. This has manly my first thing. So as you pointed out, you know there's some stiff competition that I'm going up against a lot
of experience. A lot of these has been here many many years and have a for knowledge to rely on. So for me, you know, I want to start building that knowledge and that means learning every single lap and if I can uh taking the check it on someday on the black would be a huge achievement for me and would allow me to to get the experience you need to come back here next year and uh and improved situation. So um, that's that's my and obviously you
just want to champion my campaigns. That drive would save last campaign. Trying to get people to to register as organ donors and at the same time trying to get people to think sola. Um. Just really thankful to have such great partners innovative SOLA to help because become pains forward. You are driven in many ways to find Wilson. We wish you luck at the N five hundred this week and I want to repeat that again. Driven to save lives, encouraging people the Oregan donors as his brother who died
last year was, and think Solar. This is Wimmer Radio coming up on taking stock Luxury. Brought to you by your Try State BMW centers. Visit them online a try State BMW dot com. At BMW they only make one thing, the ultimate driving machine.
