Hosts Clarence Boone and William Hosea welcome Courtney Bishop, IU alum and president of Major Taylor Sport Marketing. Courtney has been a familiar presence around the IU Lil’ 500 race for twenty-one years. He was first a rider on Team Major Taylor which he founded in 1991 and subsequently as coach of Team Major Taylor and several other men’s and women’s teams. He’s known for a persevering drive that seemingly all culminated for him when he coached the men’s winning. We’ve invited Courtney to join us by phone to recap this year’s remarkable achievement and to offer his views on his emotional ride with the IU Lil’ 500. Also, Bring It On! explores headline news and local calender events of interest to the African-American community.
PART ONE
Courtney Bishop is an IU alum and president of Major Taylor Sport Marketing – named in honor of the late world-champion cyclist Marshall Major Taylor. He has also held positions as executive vice president of Pathway Productions – a media production house. During a period of 21 years, Courtney has been a familiar presence around the IU Lil’ 500 race; first, as a rider on Team Major Taylor. He’s known for a persevering drive that seemingly all culminated for him when he coached the men’s winning team from Delta Tau Delta. As the first black winning coach at Lil’ 500, he has triumphed over many obstacles (both on and off the track).
