Ep.281 – Dinner(s) with the Rileys: Bill on Bob

Following our video series “Dinner(s) with the Rileys,” currently available on MotorTrend, we offer a series of long-form, less-edited editions of each of our sit downs. Our first is with Bill Riley, the son of Bob and Bea Riley, now in his third appearance on DwR. Effectively operating as the main caretaker of the business today, Bill gives us the backstory on his father and his modest upbringings as a depression era kid, all the way to modern day, including a ruthless look at some of the current business challenges facing the family and independent race-car designers/builders. Dinner was served at now-staple of DwR, “On the Nines” in Mooresville, NC, with the song “Everything Changes” by AM Beef taking us out. Thank you to Continental Tire for making it happen!
