Winning: The Racing Life of Paul Newman

Paul Newman is celebrated globally as an Academy Award-winning actor with a career spanning over fifty years, making him one of the most esteemed figures in American cinema. Beyond his acting prowess, he was also recognized for his charitable efforts, with his company, Newman’s Own, donating over $430 million to various global causes. However, not many are aware of his fervent enthusiasm for racing, a passion so profound that it almost overshadowed his acting pursuits. Newman’s racing journey lasted 35 years, during which he clinched four national championships as a driver and secured eight championships as a team owner. This is quite impressive, especially considering he only began racing at the age of 47.
