This Fall, I made my acting debut as driver Alexander Winton in History Channel's "Men Who Built America". In the finale of the series, I re-enacted the historic 1901 Sweepstakes race versus Henry Ford.
In October 2011, Ford Racing uploaded this eight minute film of "The Race That Changed Everything" narrated by Edsel B. Ford II with the following description:
Henry Ford was not a racer, but that didn't stop him from getting behind the wheel for a race that is still being talked about 110 years later. In this video, Edsel B. Ford II tells the story of his great-grandfather and how he beat the best racer in the country with a car he built himself.
Happy and Healthy 2013!
