Book Reviews of Indianapolis Motor Speedway: 100 Years of Racing
Book Review: Great Gift Book
Summary: 5 Stars
I received this book as a birthday present. It is by far my favorite gift. What a treat. I grew up watching the Indy 500 each and every Memorial Weekend. The race was as much a part of my childhood as mowing the grass and playing baseball. Even so, I had no idea of the fascinating story behind the race and the Speedway itself. Racing legend Mario Andretti says it best in his foreword for the book: "In Indianapolis racing is religion. The Speedway is our temple. That's the best way I can explain my worship for Indianapolis." This hardcover book with tons of amazing photographs pays homage to racing, the Speedway and the people who made it all possible. In one particularly fun chapter Ron McQueeny, the very talented chief photographer of the Speedway, shares some of his favorite photos from the past 30 years. There's a shot of the track covered in snow that is absolutely beautiful. Good stuff. I got the book on a Sunday and read it from front to back over the next two days. I can't wait until the next 500, but while I do I'll be paging through this book and enjoying every minute.
