Fun fact: Ben Solo is not named after Obi-Wan, that is a popular misconception. He was actually named after the greatest podracer in the galaxy, Ben Quadinaros! Unfortunately Kylo/Ben realised he could never live up to Quadinaros, so he decided there was no point in trying to finish what he started. So he instead chose to follow the second greatest podracer, Anakin. And that's how Snoke turned him to the dark side!

[@penguinmaster7]

there's a LOT you didn't mention about the racers. I'll follow up to your information with my own; Elan Mak is actually an alias for Kam Nale, who entered his name backwards to avoid suspicion. The boonta eve wasn't the first race he entered, as he followed Aldar Beedo from race to race to attempt his revenge. Ben Quadinaros was originally not going to enter the podrace if it wasn;t for fellow racer Boles Roor, who drugkenly bet five million pegats that Ben was too much of a coward to enter at his glimmik concert. Much to the Sneevel's dismay, Quadinaros actually entered the race with a rented BT310 podracer. Even though he never made it past the starting grid, he won the bet because he did in fact enter. The reason his podracer failed, however, was sabotage by another, and that was carried out by Ark Roose. Bumpy Roose was hired to sabotage Anakin's podracer by Diva Funquita, as she wanted to bring an end to Skywalker as she sorted out her bets with Jabba. He eagerly accepted and made his way to the podracing hangar later on. However, he didn;t know which podracer was Anakin's. He attempted to ask Sebulba, but was brushed off, being told rather unhelpfully that it probably looked like a pile of junk. He spotted Quadinaros's podracer, and having never seen it before, thought it to be in disrepair. Roose sabotaged the podracer, rigging it to be unable to accelerate. Figuring he had finished his job, he headed to his own podracer to make preparations. Teemto Pagalies was also at Boles Roor's glimmik concert, where he found out that Mars Guo was hitting on one of Sebulba's Masseuses, Ann Gella, whom he had fallen in love with. Mars had offered to take Gella away if he won, which angered the veknoid. Pagalies told Sebulba about the affair, and sealed Mars's fate of crashing. Interestingly enough, in the 7-Gee Lounge before the race, Teemto had drank a few too many juri juices. A hitman had been hired by Jabba to capture him and feed him to the sarlacc, but he was saved by Qui-Gon Jinn who gave the hitman the wrong coordinates for Teemto. He considered anakin a "good kid" and wished him luck in the race.
