In drag racing folklore, Ed “The Ace” McCulloch is known more for his ability to land a punch, than in winning Indy six times. McCulloch grimaces at the reality but smiles because he understands everyone needs to have a legend.

The past Funny Car legend, who helped make the plastic fantastics an iconic race car, stars in this Episode Three of Legends: The Series.

McCulloch discusses his early years of driving, and how he ended up racing nitro. He also discusses his days as the “enforcer” for The Dones, a.k.a Bill Doner. Join in the smiles as McCulloch comments on the comedic moments and then takes a somber route as he discusses the loss of wife Linda and the time away from his family.

You’ll see a different side of the often misunderstood McCulloch as he opens up in this episode of Legends: The Series.
