Dinner with Racers: Legacy of the Riley Racing Dynasty
Bob and Bill Riley stand as pivotal figures in American motorsport engineering, with their company Riley Technologies achieving unprecedented success across multiple racing disciplines.
Three men in conversation
Bob Riley's remarkable 70-year career spanned major racing venues including Le Mans, Indianapolis, and Daytona, with victories across sports cars, IndyCar, and NASCAR. His engineering expertise helped shape modern American motorsport.
His son Bill Riley continued the family legacy over the past 30 years, leading Riley Technologies to become the most successful American manufacturer in Rolex 24 At Daytona history.
In September 2023, the Rileys sat down with Dinner with Racers hosts Sean Heckman and Ryan Eversley for a series of in-depth interviews in North Carolina. These conversations gained additional significance following Bob Riley's passing in October, marking the final recorded interviews featuring both father and son together.
Their combined legacy represents over seven decades of American racing innovation and engineering excellence, with achievements that have fundamentally influenced motorsport design and competition.
