High-profile podcaster Adam Carolla came to Indianapolis this weekend to promote "Winning: The Racing Life of Paul Newman."
Carolla directed the new film documentary about the late actor who was perhaps more passionate about auto racing than Hollywood.
Carolla, who owns several of Newman's old competition cars and drives in vintage races, said Newman struggled when he started racing in his 40s. Eventually, the Oscar-winning actor won four Sports Car Club of America championships.
Who's awesome at the beginning," Carolla asked during a red-carpet intervew before Sunday's Indy 500. "Actually, I was good at the beginning and I haven't gotten any faster. That's actually worse than being bad and then progressing."
The Indiana State Museum hosted a local premiere for the film on Friday.
Robert Redford and Mario Andretti appear in "Winning: The Racing Life of Paul Newman," which can be purchased via iTunes, Amazon and on-demand viewing platforms.
