If you’re completely unfamiliar with the War for the Wheel or why it’s important, this is the story for you.

Here you can find a solid rundown on the history of the game, big moments, players and plays that make it what it is today.

This story won first place at the 2023 ICPA awards in the category of Sports News Story. It’s a few years old at this point, but it still gives a solid summary of the history of the game in my opinion.
