Sam Schmidt was living out his boyhood dream as an IndyCar racer and earning the title of IndyCar “Rookie of the Year”. His dream came to an abrupt end when he crashed into a wall at 200 miles per hour, leaving him a quadriplegic. Sam’s accident rendered him physically helpless, unable to scratch an itch much less drive again, until a dedicated group of bright engineering minds stepped up to build him a car that he could drive using only his head.
"Reengineering Sam" chronicles Sam’s personal life and business ventures, his road back to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and groundbreaking adaptive technologies that hold promise of a level of independence for anyone confined to a wheelchair.
