The Story Behind David Aldana's Legendary Skeleton Leathers
When Dave Aldana walked out onto the track for the 1975 AMA season opener in Houston, he wore a black set of racing leathers, its front emblazoned with a skeleton in white. He was a specter — a memento mori painting come to life. Elvis. Evel Knievel. Liberace. They all constructed garments that made them larger than life. Aldana joined those whose attire became synonymous with their identity.
Fernando Alonso at Indy: 2018 Autoweek Moment Award
Share Facebook Tweet Pinterest Email It’s not every year that a 35-year-old rookie who qualifies fifth and finishes 24th is the talk of the Indianapolis 500. Then again, it’s not every year that a two-time Formula 1 champion skips out on his team in the middle of the season and passes on the F1 Monaco Grand Prix to race at the Brickyard. Welcome to Fernando Alonso’s unforgettable month of May 2017 and the moment the McLaren F1 driver took his first green flag in the 500.
2018 Autoweek Awards: And the winners are
Share Facebook Tweet Pinterest Email For the third year running, Autoweek once again is taking a little timeout during the holiday season to honor some of the people who made their mark on motorsports and car culture during the previous year. It’s our way of saying congratulations on a job well done while recognizing those who entertained us, raised the bar in their sport or profession and who continue ?to contribute to our never-ending love of the automobile.
Martin Truex Jr.: 2018 Autoweek Driver Award
Share Facebook Tweet Pinterest Email The title for a driver from a perceived underdog team based in Denver came while Truex’s girlfriend, Sherry Pollex, battled Stage III ovarian cancer. That was not the only adversity in 2017 for the team and its first-time Cup champion. Crew chief Cole Pearn’s best friend Jacob Damen died from a bacterial infection over the summer, as the team started to pile up victories.
Furniture Row Racing: 2018 Autoweek Team Award
Share Facebook Tweet Pinterest Email Furniture Row Racing has remarkably evolved from NASCAR’s little engine that could to a steamrolling championship locomotive. The only team located west of the Mississippi River, Furniture Row may be the last of its kind. Based out of Denver, the team grew from a backmarker and occasional start-and-park outfit to a championship winner—thanks to 2017 Cup champ Martin Truex Jr. and Rookie of the Year Erik Jones—in just over a decade.
William Byron: 2018 Autoweek Rising Star Award
Share Facebook Tweet Pinterest Email William Byron has big shoes to fill in 2018, but pressure never seems to bother the 20-year-old top prospect. The Charlotte, North Carolina, native will inherit the iconic Hendrick Motorsports No. 24 Chevrolet (future Hall of Famer Jeff Gordon’s old ride) next season just three months after capturing the NASCAR Xfinity Series championship for JR Motorsports.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.: 2018 Autoweek Achievement - The Denise McCluggage Award
Share Facebook Tweet Pinterest Email Even without a pair of Daytona 500 triumphs, two Xfinity Series championships or his 26 career Cup victories, Junior would have earned that distinction. Sure, the achievements will go a long way toward ensuring his enshrinement when he hits the Hall of Fame ballot in 2020, but trophies were never this retiring NASCAR driver’s most meaningful contributions to the sport, anyway.
Kazunori Yamauchi: 2018 Autoweek Car Culture Award
Share Facebook Tweet Pinterest Email Used to be kids hung Lamborghini posters on their walls and dreamed of someday touching, maybe even owning, the real thing. Some could even recite the specs—horsepower, 0-60-mph time, top speed—thanks to the internet or, going way back, a magazine. TVs are now poster-size, and for the past 20 years, any kid with a Sony PlayStation game console has been able to admire, study and virtually drive vehicles they could only dream of a generation ago.
Chevrolet: 2018 Autoweek Constructor Award
Share Facebook Tweet Pinterest Email For Chevrolet, racing and winning titles is just part of a larger plan. “When you have a chance to win races and vie for championships, it does lift what people think of Chevrolet,” said Jim Campbell, Chevrolet’s U.S. vice president of performance vehicles and motorsports.
How a California Anesthesiologist Became One of America’s Largest Antiquities Looters
On a late morning in August 2014, a scorcher in the Sierra Nevada mountains, Dr. Jonathan Bourne and a few of his hiking buddies plied the switchbacks of California’s Glacier Divide, having just bolted past two alpine lakes, not even stopping for as much as a sip. The group was competing in the annual Sierra Challenge, a 10-day quest to tag 10 of the most remote peaks in the Sierra.
The shape of work to come
Last year, entrepreneur Sebastian Thrun set out to augment his sales force with artificial intelligence. Thrun is the founder and president of Udacity, an education company that provides online courses and employs an armada of salespeople who answer questions from potential students through online chats.
The future of work
Robots did not write this sentence, or any other part of Nature. But that could change. Dramatic shifts in labour are reshaping society, the environment and the political landscape. Consider this disorienting estimate from the World Economic Forum: 65% of children entering primary schools now will grow up to work in jobs that do not yet exist. This week, Nature asks: what light is research shedding on the future of work, and how will the changes affect scientists' working world?
The Poster Posse Goes To The Wild West With Our Tribute To Antoine Fuqua’s “The Magnificent 7”
In 1960, director John Sturgis paid tribute to the1954, Akira Kurosawa classic film, “Seven Samurai” and gave us one of the most beloved westerns of all time, “The Magnificent 7.” The film touted an impressive cast including James Coburn, Robert Vaughn, Charles Bronson, Yul Brynner and Steve McQueen and was packed with all kinds of bad-assery. Fast forward 56 years and now Antoine Fuqua is about to release his remake of the film.
The Poster Posse Pays Tribute To Warner Bros. “Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice” - Phase 1
Ever since director Zach Snyder blew fans minds at San Diego Comic Con with the announcement of “Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice,” we have been counting the months, weeks, days, minutes and moments until we could descend upon theaters and watch with rapt awe and fascination as Gotham’s protector goes up against the son of Krypton. Throw Wonder Woman in there AND Doomsday and it’s safe to say we can’t WAIT to flock to an IMAX theater to watch this one.
