The Economaki book is FREAKING AWESOME!!!

Another great one(s) are the Smokey Yunick autobiographies!

My list is:

Dirt Road to a Silver Crown

Vukovich: an inspiring story of American Achievement

A hand for the Wheel, The Mel Kenyon Story

Go: The Bettenhausen Story

I am waiting on Ghosts of Jungle Park to come for Chrsitmas (got a tip it will be under the tree) :emote20:

Just started "American Scene" by Dave Argabright. Pretty cool book.
Also have "Lone Wolf" in the on deck circle. Hard to read during the basketball season.

Don't recall the title or the author's name but a friend loaned me his Eddie Sachs biography and it might just be the most interesting racing book I have ever read. Another oldie, The Unbelievable Unsers written by Joe Scalzo is also excellent.

Not racing, not even sports related, but having read Tom Brokaw's three Greatest Generation books, I am now looking forward to his latest literary effort, Boom.

The Kenny Schrader/Joyce Standridge "Gotta Race" is pretty entertaining....

Yes this is one of the best books ever... In Indianapolis you can get this book from the library.

Anything that Dave Argabright or John Sawyer wrote. Joe Scalzo also wrote a few good ones.
