Thanksgiving Special with Jessica Trout & Adam Andretti
This Thanksgiving week, The Pits Are Open celebrates gratitude, legacy, and the heart of motorsports. Host Will Marotti and producer Alex Smith reflect on the growth of the show — now airing weekly on Speed Sport 1 — and welcome two guests who embody racing’s spirit of perseverance and purpose.
First, Jessica Trout, second-generation representative for Schaeffer Oil, shares how an eighth-grade science fair project sparked her career in lubrication technology and motorsports outreach. She discusses brand trust, family business culture, and Schaeffer’s long history of backing racers at every level.
Then, Adam Andretti joins to talk about the passion behind the Andretti name, his journey through Trans Am racing, and what it means to carry 70 years of family legacy toward 2029 — a milestone he’s determined to keep alive. He opens up about faith, pressure, and why the fans remain the driving force behind racing’s future.
