Great interview my first indy 500 was 1965 and have been there at least 25 times I saw Mel in many midget races over the years and have the greatest respect for such a great man thanks for the video

I remember the first time I met Mel & Don, it was at El Cajon speedway for a USAC midget race in the late 60’s when he was coming back from his injuries, they were both so nice and were signing autographs. Thanks for the great video Don.

Amazing man, I had the pleasure in watching him down here at Western Springs NZ along with many other US drivers when I was young, was always a highlight of the seasons racing. It was common knowledge he had lost a hand and drove with a modified glove but I never realized the other injuries he suffered. Such a remarkable story.

Mell Kenyon should be the 4th head on Mount Rushmore!!! Great interview Don keep them coming!

I used to listen to the Indy 500 live on the radio as a kid and he was always the guy I rooted for because he had ties to Iowa. My dad was a sports writer and he introduced me to Mel when I was around 12. He was WAY underrated as an Indy driver. I always wondered what he could have done with a little bit better cars at Indy. He was as good as just about anyone.

I watched Mel at Indy in '66. He was the topic of much discussion prerace. How was a one handed driver going to "handle the steering wheel for 500 miles?" He came out better than most. Enjoyed the interview. Thanks
