## Resource

Episode 2 of The Brickyard Series: “The Track — What Lies Beneath the Surface” At Blackline, we believe the stories worth telling are often found beneath the surface. In this episode of The Line, Joshua Mellott sits down with Bill Pine of The Heritage Group at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway — or, as Bill calls it, “the track.” What starts as a conversation about asphalt quickly becomes something much deeper. Recorded near Victory Circle, this episode explores the engineering, science, craftsmanship, and intentionality required to build and maintain one of the most iconic racing surfaces in the world. From designing asphalt capable of enduring speeds over 200 miles per hour to thinking generationally about infrastructure, Bill shares what it means to care for something bigger than yourself. But this conversation is not just about the track. It’s about the men and women who do the work. The people behind the projects. The responsibility of stewardship. The pursuit of excellence. And what lies beneath the surface not only in the asphalt, but in ourselves. This is The Brickyard Series. Real people. Real conversations. At the Brickyard.
