From the Marmon Wasp in 1911, to Will Power's Chevy-powered Dallara of 2018. Each race has its own story about the car that won each race, but it does give a brief, but complete, synopsis of each race. . . . I've looked through a lot of books and been through many photos from the Indianapolis 500. This book contains many photos I've never seen before.</p>-- "OilPressure.com"<br><br><p>Gold Medal, Sports/Fitness/Recreation Category, 2020 Independent Publisher Book Awardt</p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>James Craig Reinhardt is an official tour guide for the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and author of <em>The Indianapolis 500: Inside the Greatest Spectacle in Racing</em>.<br></p></p>
