The Last Lap - The Mysterious Death of Peter Kreis
On this episode of The Logbook, our History of Motorsports series, explores the mysterious and tragic death of Indy driver Peter Kreis. The presentation, based on William Walker's extensive research, tells the story of Kreis's rise and fall in the racing world. Walker delves into Kreis's affluent background, his early racing career, and the series of events leading to his death at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 1934. Despite years of speculation, Walker suggests that Kreis's death was a suicide, influenced by a series of traumatic events and mental distress. The episode also offers insights into the broader context of suicide within motorsports. It ends with a call for listener discretion due to the sensitive subject matter, and provides information on the Suicide Prevention Lifeline for those in need.
