Peter Nashel crafted the original score for ESPN's 30 for 30 documentary "Qualified," which told the groundbreaking story of Janet Guthrie—the first woman to qualify for the Indianapolis 500.

Peter needed to create music that could support a film made up of 78% archival footage from the 1970s motorsports world without overwhelming the authentic period material. Nashel's approach balanced the technical precision of Guthrie's aerospace engineering background with the visceral excitement of racing, providing emotional connective tissue between disparate archival elements from local TV coverage to rarely seen promotional films.

This inspired approach helped to elevate her pioneering story, while acknowledging her reserved yet confident personality.
