Bill France Jr. - The Man Who
Made NASCAR

by Herb A. Branham

Former NASCAR president, chairman, and CEO Bill France Jr. is remembered and revered as the man who followed his visionary father at the helm of NASCAR, in the process becoming a visionary himself, as he guided NASCAR to unprecedented levels of popularity. Bill Jr. grew up in the formative years of stock car racing, living and learning every detail of the sport from his own experiences, and those of his father, NASCAR founder William Henry Getty France, known as Bill Sr. or Big Bill. In Bill France Jr. - The Man Who Made NASCAR, the life of Bill France Jr. is examined, starting with the day in 1934 when his family arrived at the then-sleepy town of Daytona Beach, Florida.

The biography covers Bill Jr.’s role in NASCAR’s formative years; his assumption of the NASCAR presidency; the sport’s explosion in popularity under his leadership; his courageous battle with cancer throughout the last decade of his life; and his final role, as NASCAR vice chairman and main advisor to NASCAR’s third-generation leader, his son, Chairman/CEO Brian France. Bill Jr. combined pragmatism with optimism, an approach that resulted in a calculated and adventurous road to success for NASCAR. That approach was marked always by an inimitable, colorful style now recalled as both endearing and intimidating. Bill France Jr. - The Man Who Made NASCAR gives the reader an insider’s look at a remarkable life.

THE BLOUNT REPORT
- NASCAR’s Most Overrated & Underrated Drivers, Cars, Teams, and Tracks

by Terry Blount

While fans continue to debate the relative merits of their favorite drivers, ESPN.com’s premier motor sports writer Terry Blount now brings some needed clarity and perspective to America’s biggest spectator sport, rating drivers, teams, cars, and tracks, and “bluntly” lets readers know which are overrated and which are underrated in a new book that’s bound to further the debate and stir up more controversy.

It’s an all-fun but in-depth look at the opinionated discussions fans have in their living rooms every weekend. Evaluating driver skills is a whopping task, even for the most knowledgeable folks in the sport. But Blount is one of the most qualified analysts, and well up to the task of trying to separate fact from fiction, reputation from reality, and equipment from talent.

Along with rating drivers, The Blount Report also rates a vast array of the NASCAR world from speedways to races and rules to records. It’s all up for debate. So fasten your seatbelt and enjoy…it may get a bit bumpy along the way but it’s well worth the ride.

Pit Road Pets: The Second Lap

by Wendy Belk and photographer
Karen Will Rogers

For Stewart-Haas Racing driver Ryan Newman and wife Krissie, their six dogs aren’t just adored animals – they’re family. The Newmans have released their second book, Pit Road Pets: the Second Lap, which celebrates the NASCAR community and their beloved furry, hoofed, and sometimes even feathered families.

Crew chiefs, broadcast personalities, team owners and the people who work behind the scenes at races each weekend are also part of this book, which is loaded with wonderful color photographs.

The proceeds from the Newmans’ first book helped build a regional spay/neuter clinic at the Humane Society of Catawba Count in Hickory, N.C. One hundred percent of the Ryan Newman Foundation net proceeds from Pit Road Pets: the Second Lap will be donated to animal causes, such as giving grants to families that can’t afford to spay or neuter their pets. The Ryan Newman Foundation also plans to build an animal education center in North Carolina that will serve as a model for animal welfare and education throughout the U.S.

Don Garlits, Rear Engine Dragster

Part 1 - Part 2

by Mickey Bryant and Todd Hutcheson

A journey through 18 months that made drag racing history and ended with the launch of the rear engine dragster (R.E.D.). If necessity was the mother of invention then its father was creativity.

Probably the most talked-about two events in drag racing history become the bookends of these two books. Part 1 opens with the race at Lions Drag Strip in Long Beach, California, March 8th, 1970. Part 2 ends with the Indy Nationals, September 7th, 1971. The events of these historic two days are chronicled and examined in detail, showing what really happened at the sport’s most famous venues of the day and dispelling rumors and flat-out misunderstandings about what happened there. These were also the very first and last race by drag racing’s most revered rear engine dragster – Don Garlits’ Swamp Rat 14.

Part 1 features the March 1970 race that put Garlits in the hospital and on the sideline. That race for him lasted only 40 feet. Part 1 ends right where the secret build of the new R.E.D. is completed and the Garlits Boys are packing up to head out West to showcase this new design. This is a complete and stand-alone account of all that happened in the year 1970.

Part 2 takes you through the step-by-step account of this historic machine, Swamp Rat 14, and ends with the 1971 Indy Nationals and Garlits’ astonishing elapsed time that has lasted 40 years, and counting.

Echoes of Thunder in the Hills
– Photographic Memories of 1960s Auto Racing in Southeastern Ohio and Adjoining West Virginia

by Tony Martin

Echoes of Thunder in the Hills covers the history of auto racing along the Ohio Valley from 1958 through 1972. The 262-page soft cover book is printed on glossy stock, enhancing the more than 200 original photographs shot by two of the era/area's prominent racing photographers. The story of the evolution from the old coupes and sedans to today's sprint cars is conveyed largely through the many photos and photo captions.

The book primarily focuses on Alma, OH’s Atomic Speedway (now K-C Raceway), the old Portsmouth Speedway, the Ohio Valley Speedway, and West Virginia International. Several others are depicted as well. Featured are many of the local gendarmes who ruled the racing in the area, week-in and out, along with such marauding mercenaries as Rick Ferkel, Chuck Amati, Larry "Boom -Boom" Cannon, and Dick Gaines and Carl Williams who both drove for legendary car owner Diz Wilson. Readers will find photographs of the first-ever winged race car driven by Columbus' Jim Cushman and Chuck Engel's unique six-wheeled supermodiifed among the wide variety of racing concepts. Race cars and race car parts were generally not store-bought – home-spun ingenuity was the mode of operation for these racing pioneers. Outspending the competition didn't always guarantee victory back in the day.

The book's foreword was penned by Tom Schmeh, Curator of the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame and Museum. Schmeh was recently named the "Outstanding Contributor to the Sport of Sprint Car Racing.”

He Crashed Me So I Crashed Him Back

by Mark Bechtel

On a cold February day in 1979, when most of the Northeast was snowed in by a blizzard, NASCAR entered the American consciousness with a dramatic telecast of the Daytona 500. It was the first 500-mile race to be broadcast live on national television and featured the heroes and legends of the sport racing on a hallowed track. With one of the wildest finishes in sports history–a finish that was just the start of the drama–everything changed for what is now America's second most popular sport.

He Crashed Me So I Crashed Him Back is the story of an emerging sport trying to find its feet. It's the story of how Bobby Allison, Donnie Allison, Cale Yarborough, Richard Petty, Dale Earnhardt, Darrell Waltrip, A.J. Foyt, and Kyle Petty came together in an unforgettable season that featured the first nationally televised NASCAR races. There were rivalries–even the sibling kind–and plenty of fistfights, feuds, and frenzied finishes. Rollicking and full of larger-than-life characters, He Crashed Me So I Crashed Him Back is the remarkable tale of the birth of modern stock-car racing.

Old School, Volume 1, 1971-1977

by Mike Arthur

If you are an open-wheel fan or just have an appreciation for great racing photos, you are probably familiar with the work of West Coast photographer Mike Arthur.

Mike has been working on a series of books that capture the wild world of sprint cars starting in the early ‘70s, when he first began shooting.

Volume 1 takes us from 1971 through 1977, and to tracks from West Capital to Phoenix International, and from Ascot to Manzanita, and later to Midwest tracks like Knoxville and Terre Haute. This is where the men who would become legends–Steve Kinser, Doug Wolfgang, Bubby Jones, Jan Opperman, and Lealand McSpadden and many more–cut their teeth and learned their craft.

Mostly sprints and some midgets, a few stock cars. Hard cover,

300 B&W and color photos, 72 pages.

Victory Road – The Ride of My Life

by Helio Castroneves
with Foreword by Roger Penske

The Indianapolis 500 champion and winner of season five's Dancing with the Stars shares his heartfelt story about determination, family, justice, and beating all odds to win.

With his signature victory celebration of climbing the fence after taking the checkered flag and his radiant performances that earned him the coveted crystal ball trophy on Dancing with the Stars, Helio's infectious enthusiasm garnered the admiration of millions of fans-both on and off the track.

Therefore no one, including him, could have predicted that one day he would sit in a federal court along with his sister/manager facing 10 years in jail. After his grueling trial – where justice prevailed and charges were dropped – Helio learned more than ever before about his family, true friends, faith, and the road to victory.

In this book, Helio Castroneves tells his resilient story about his greatest accomplishments, most devastating experiences, becoming a father, and valuing what is truly important in life.

THANKS: The Story of Rick Mears and the Mears Gang

by Gordon Kirby

Through the eighties and into the early nineties he was known as the King of the Speedways and the maestro of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Rick Mears, the gentleman racer, won four Indianapolis 500s between 1979 and 1991, as well as three CART Indy car championships, before retiring at the end of 1992 following a series of injuries.

Originally from Kansas, Rick, his brother Roger, and his racer dad Bill were known as the “Mears Gang” in Southern California sprint buggy and off-road racing. Brother Roger went on to race Indy cars for a few years before focusing his career on off-road racing, where he was an extremely successful owner/driver.

The Mears Gang tradition carries on today with Roger’s son Casey racing in NASCAR’s Sprint Cup. In Rick Mears • Thanks, veteran racing writer Gordon Kirby, the U.S. editor of Motor Sport, tells the whole story of Rocket Rick Mears and the Mears Gang’s journey from dirt tracks to superspeedways.

The Dirt Under the Asphalt:
An Underground History of Stock Car Racing

by Jack Flowers

Many other books have been written about NASCAR, mainly about its drivers and other celebrities who compete in the sport of stock car racing, but there have been very few books written or published about the internal workings of NASCAR.

This book takes a look at NASCAR from day one to present-day and presents the author’s perception of how NASCAR has maintained its operation as a dictatorship since the late forties, how drugs played a part in its rapid rise in popularity, and how it has been run by the France family.

The Dirt under the Asphalt pulls no punches and paints no pretty pictures. It does, however, offer the author’s insight into the most prominent track owners and drivers who got NASCAR started and kept it going through tough times in the fifties and sixties.

Jack Flowers covered his first stock car race when he was sixteen and the sports editor of The Moultrie Observer (Georgia). Since then, Flowers, now 70, has worked for 11 different daily newspapers and auto racing trade publications that cover NASCAR. Today he still writes weekly stories about NASCAR for Area Auto Racing News and National Speed Sport News.

St. Dale

By Sharyn McCrumb

A NASCAR trip called the Dale Earnhardt Memorial Pilgrimage—boarding a silver cruise bus for a tour of Southern speedways are a group of strangers. None of the pilgrims ever met Dale Earnhardt, but he somehow touched each of their lives. For one 18-year-old, the tour is a chance to get married at the speedway with Earnhardt there in spirit. A New York stockbroker has made the trip because the love of stock car racing is the only link he has with the father he never knew. Reverend Knight agrees to chaperone a dying child on the tour, and finds himself on a strangely familiar journey of faith and devotion, with the prospect of a miracle at hand.

In a novel rich with compassion and truth, Sharyn McCrumb has crafted a tale of transformation and everyday miracles. Suffused with incisive Southern wit and unforgettable characters, St. Dale looks into the heart of America—its secular saints and cereal-box heroes, wild dreams and unrealized ambitions, heartbreaking losses and second chances—and celebrates its unbreakable spirit.

With more than 350 color and black-and-white photos, this book is an exciting visual history of the sport’s most exciting years – the Golden Age of drag racing.

Mark Donohue – Technical
Excellence at Speed

by Michael Argetsinger

Named Best Book and "Best of 2009" at the International Automotive Media Awards

To a generation of fans in the 1960s and 1970s, Mark Donohue embodied a new, uniquely American spirit in motor racing. Donohue was not only blindingly fast, he was also smart, with a background in engineering and a unique talent for studying and setting up a race car. Together with his like-minded team owner, Roger Penske, he brought a new level of technical sophistication and preparation to nearly every type of American racing, from sports cars to the Indianapolis 500.

After years of success in amateur sports-car racing, Donohue’s professional career took off in 1966 when he drove a factory Ford GT40 at Le Mans and a Lola T70 for Penske in the Can-Am Challenge. In 1972 he won the Indy 500, and a year later he captured the Can-Am title. After a brief retirement he returned to racing in Formula One, only to die following an accident during practice for the Austrian Grand Prix in 1975.

In the first full biography of Mark Donohue, author Michael Argetsinger tells the story of racing’s ultimate driver-engineer, one who set the standard for generations to come. He also explains how Donohue’s life and career were shaped by his friends, family, and fellow drivers, as well as by the rapid changes in technology and competition that swept through racing during his time.

Emerson Fittipaldi, in 1972 crowned the youngest-ever World Champion at the age of 25, won the title again two years later to prove that he was one of the most outstanding talents of his generation. He and his brother Wilson realized their dream of creating the first Brazilian Grand Prix car.

After a brief retirement, the bold Brazilian forged a second magnificent career in Indy Car racing, in which he scored wins in ten consecutive seasons.

In this latest addition to his well-received driver biography series, Karl Ludvigsen – Emerson's friend since the 1960s – tells the whole enthralling story.

MANMADE THUNDER

by Godwin Kelly

MANMADE THUNDER is the new book from Godwin Kelly, widely acknowledged to be one of the best motorsports journalists in America. The book examines the sport of stock car racing through the eyes and ears of the men behind the wheel, the men with the wrenches in their hands, and those who pay the bills. Alongside the insightful text are over 250 stunning photographs, including many from the Don Hunter Collection and The Sharpe Image. The photography is unique; approximately two thirds of the images in the book have never been published before.

MANMADE THUNDER takes the reader through a visual and narrative journey of the sport – from humble beginnings of family cars raced on dirt tracks, to the glitz and glamour that has made today’s NASCAR a national phenomenon. The book examines how the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series has transformed from a purely performance-based sport into a personality-driven enterprise over the last two decades. While the main chapters focus on the current top drivers and past greats, the subchapters cleverly weave former legends and other aspects of the sport into the narrative. In addition, exclusive first person sections reveal what the drivers really think.

FACES OF NASCAR – a Pictorial Salute to America’s Greatest Sport

by Scott Robinson

The action on the track isn’t the only story in NASCAR. In a sport that has transcended its "playing field" to become a cultural phenomenon, NASCAR racing has become as much about the star driver, the grizzled crew chief, the calculating team owner, the hard-working pit crew, the skilled hands back at the race shop, and the die-hard fans as it is about brightly colored cars speeding by at 200 mph.

Through evocative candid portrait photo-graphy from the lens of Scott Robinson, Faces of NASCAR explores the full spectrum of people involved in the Nextel Cup series, from drivers to officials to spectators. Each subject is photographed in a striking portrait, with incredible detail. Robinson's simple, yet powerful photographic portrayals highlight the passion, intensity, and joy these racing diehards feel when they are spending the weekend at the track.

A must-have for any NASCAR fan, Faces of NASCAR speaks to the human side of this exciting and fascinating sport through these portraits as well as commentary from those who love this sport most.

Return to Glory

A Novel by Greg Littleton

Front engine cars are returning to Indy! It is early June 2010, the Indy 500, held the previous week, had once again been a very competitive race, attended by a crowd that at one time would have been considered adequate for the first day of Time Trials. The TV ratings have slipped and more importantly the aura that once surrounded the great event has diminished.

The race was run with cars that no one remembers, driven by men and women that few can recall. Next year will be the 100th anniversary of this American icon. The owner of the beautiful speedway makes a dramatic decision; "Gentlemen, we are bringing front engine cars back to the 500." How can they do it? Will they be able to make the "Return to Glory?"

Great fun for all open wheel fans, by the author of the Roadsters of Indianapolis 1952-1966 – Glory Days.

History of San Jose Auto Racing
1903-2007

by Dennis Mattish

The complete history of San Jose auto racing, starting in 1903 – when Barney Oldfield barnstormed into San Jose to try to set a world speed record – all the way to the final San Jose Grand Prix held in 2007.

The Foreword is by racing legend Joe Leonard – the only man to win both the USAC National Indianapolis Car Championship and the AMA National Motorcycle Championship.

Classes featured include Stock Cars, Indy Cars, Dragsters, Midgets, Sprint
Cars, Supermodifieds and many more.

The book includes track records and year-by-year coverage of all 14 tracks that ever held a race throughout San Jose’s history. In the wild pioneer days, racing deaths were almost commonplace, and San Jose's dirt oval was
dubbed the "suicide bowl," prompting the local newspaper in 1925 to demand, "It is time to put an end to the gruesome tragedies which have occurred at nearly every local racing event, and it is time for San Jose to bar any sport which takes so heavy a toll of human life."

History of San Jose Auto Racing tells the grim and humorous stories of the drivers and cars, oval tracks, road courses and drag strips that were part of the San Jose racing scene.

Auto Racing in Charlotte and the Carolina Piedmont

by Marc P. Singer & Ryan L. Sumner

Charlotte and the Carolina Piedmont has an extensive and legendary tradition of automobile racing. Soon after 1904, when the first car was registered in Charlotte, autos became a part of everyday life. Car racing was just around the bend: an open-road race was run through Charlotte as early as 1908.

Many drivers themselves have hailed from the area, and some are said to have received early training by running moonshine and outrunning authorities. Probably the best-known aspect of Carolina racing is the Queen City's involvement since 1949 with NASCAR, which hosts many of its big names and operations. Auto Racing in Charlotte and the Carolina Piedmont explores the story behind the various forms of the sport, the kinds of people who have raced, and the reasons why they have done so.

Historic photographs-many never before published-trace the history of NASCAR and look beyond the professional aspect to include the dragracers, wannabees, kids, and just plain amateurs participating in this cultural phenomenon. The story includes the first formal oval track, constructed entirely of wooden planks and opened in 1925.

Other famous Charlotte locations, including professional dirt tracks, drag strips, and even a paved track dedicated to Soap Box Derby, are also revisited. Images of fans, mechanics, and hangers-on round out this singular journey of racing in the Carolinas.

SUNDAY MONEY: Speed! Lust! Madness! Death! A Hot Lap Around America with NASCAR

by Jeff MacGregor

Smart, funny, and profane, Sunday Money is the kaleidoscopic account of an entire season on the NASCAR circuit. Driving 48,000 miles in a tiny motorhome, writer Jeff MacGregor and his wife, an award-winning photographer, covered 36 races at 23 tracks in 18 states, from Daytona to Darlington, New Hampshire to California, from the Wal-Mart to the Waldorf, profiling the lives of superstar drivers like Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Tony Stewart, their crews, and their fans, across the grinding reach of a 40-week season.

But this is not just a behind-the-scenes chronicle of America's loudest pastime. It is the story of a hundred stories; of red states and blue, of splendid Rebel lizards and golden Yankee hotshoes, of mystic true believers and their holy roll of honored ghosts. Sunday Money is a snapshot of American culture -- of race, religion, class, sex, money, politics, and fame -- taken from the window of a moving car, a brilliantly observed, keenly rendered, and darkly comic portrait of America.

Janet Guthrie : A Life at Full Throttle

by Janet Guthrie

In this beautifully written book, Guthrie tells her story from the beginning, capturing the poignant detail of the complexity of the racing business both on the track and off. On a deeper level, she conveys all that she encountered along the way as a woman in the most testosterone-charged of men's worlds.

With passion, she details the physical, emotional and intellectual demands of the sport. She recounts the barriers she overcame in a business fueled as much by machismo as gasoline, recalling moments of isolation, dejection and frustration, but also the moments of sheer joy and exhilaration that marked her journey. And she shares with readers the adrenaline rush of steering a race car through the turns at close to 200 miles per hour.

NASCAR’s Hidden History

by Johnny “Wynn” Lawrence with Keith and Janice Slack

In this account of the early days in auto racing, Jack “Wynn” Lawrence believed that NASCAR let him down, as well as other former Grand National drivers who fell on hard times after making similar sacrifices. “If they just gave me $200 a month that would make all the difference in my life.”

For 15 years Lawrence gave everything to NASCAR. He was in 15 wrecks during his career- and that’s just the bad ones. NASCAR is the only major sport that doesn’t offer a pension.

Other former Grand National drivers who also fell on hard times have somehow become invisible and it hurts.

The Nutley Velodrome

by Crocky Wright

This is a book designed for anyone who loves pre-World War II Midgets.

The Nutley Velodrome was unique in the annals of Midget auto racing. The track was a wooden bowl, built originally as a bicycle velodrome, the same type of bowl we see today's Olympic bicycle racers competing upon. It was only a fifth of a mile in length.

The cars circled the track in about eight seconds, and many a driver has said Nutley was the most terrifying track ever built.

The banking on this one-of-a-kind arena was 45 degrees, too steep for a man to walk up!
Author Crocky Wright was in attendance at every race ever held at Nutley and has recorded the action in a first-person voice that literally allows you to feel the place shake.
Nutley was open for auto racing for only two years, 1938 and 1939.

The book opens to a full 22" wide and features not only a Class A Library Binding, but 80 pound paper as well. A fine four-color illustration graces the cover.

Funny Car Fever

by Steve Reyes

There wasn’t always a class for these “funny-looking” cars. In the mid-1960s, many of drag racing’s fastest drivers were outgrowing the Super Stock and Factory Experimental classes, building cars that stretched and eventually broke the rules. Promoters discovered they could pair up these altered-wheelbase, injected, blown machines in exhibition match races—and the spectators came running. Rivalries were born, the Funny Car class was created, and the cars kept getting faster and faster.

Funny Car Fever is a humorous, heart-felt,
first-hand account of the most exciting and memorable years of the Funny Car class. Steve Reyes followed these fiberglass-bodied, nitro-burning machines and their drivers from the years leading into Funny Car class through its halcyon days. He’s included over 400 of his favorite images and more than a few never-before-heard stories to bring the feeling of the class and the era home to you.

Ryan Newman: Engineering Speed

By Deb Williams

Ryan Newman grew up in South Bend, Indiana, and, with encouragement from his parents, has been racing since the age of four and a half. He started with quarter midgets, which he describes as "go-carts with roll cages," moved up into Midgets, and later, Sprint cars.

The year 2000 marked the successful debut of Newman's career with Penske Racing. That year he had six starts: five in the 2000 ARCA Bondo Mar/Hyde Series and one in the NASCAR Winston Cup Series. In 2001 Newman drove a blended "ABC" season -- ARCA Re/Max Series, Busch Grand National Series, and Winston Cup. In 26 starts he finished in the top-ten on 11 occasions. In addition, he had one ARCA win and pole, one Busch Series win and six poles, and the Winston Cup pole at the All-Star race in Charlotte.

In 2002 Newman drove the newly-numbered #12 ALLTEL Penske Racing Ford Taurus full-time in the Winston Cup Series. He finished the season as the Raybestos Rookie of the Year, with 22 top-10 finishes, six poles, and one regular-season win. In addition, he won the Winston All-Star race.

Newman has the brains to go along with his talent at driving race cars. He completed his degree program in vehicle structure engineering at Purdue University, where he was the recipient of the Rich Vogler Memorial Scholarship.

Jeff Gordon:
The NASCAR Superstar's Story

From the Editors of Stock Car Racing Magazine

When Jeff Gordon burst onto the NASCAR scene in the early 1990s, he broke the stereotypical mold for a stock car racing champion. He was young, handsome, articulate, media-savvy and from California, not from "down South." He has withstood incredible resistance and tough on-track competition to become a four-time champion at NASCAR's highest level.

A mix of fresh writing and articles drawn from leading racing magazines Stock Car Racing and Circle Track create a thorough profile of Gordon as a racer and as an individual. This book covers his approach to driving, his team and cars, and his business savvy as a leading endorser and now a team owner.

Barney Oldfield—The Life and Times of America’s Legendary Speed King

by William F. Nolan

This book is the only title ever devoted to Barney Oldfield, the man who got his start at the turn of the century racing Ford’s 999 and winning the Manufacturers’ Challenge Cup, at Grosse Pointe, Michigan, on October 25, 1902. He raced his cars against planes and played chicken with trains, barnstormed the county fairs, and brawled in saloons. He was the first man to go faster than a-mile-minute on a dirt oval. He set records at the dirt tracks and on the beach, raced the road courses and circled the banked board and brick tracks with the fastest of the era.

In this full-bodied, colorful account, William F. Nolan superbly recreates the flavor and raw tempo of early-day America when Barney Oldfield was called the Speed King of the World.

Lone Star J.R.: The Autobiography of Racing Legend Johnny Rutherford

Foreword by A.J. Foyt;
Preface by Mari Hulman George

With his signature Texas flag painted on his helmet, Johnny "J.R." Rutherford captured the hearts of racing fans all over the world during his stellar three-decade career. A versatile driver, he is world-renowned for his record-breaking successes in the ultra-competitive world of Indy and Sprint cars. In Lone Star J.R., Johnny takes us on an exciting drive through his life and gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the racing world.

Born in Coffeyville, Kansas, in 1938, John Sherman Rutherford III did his duty in the U.S. Marine Corps for six years before beginning his legendary racing career in Texas. After overcoming a serious accident in 1966, in which he suffered two broken arms, he began to achieve his greatest success. J.R. relives his historic Indianapolis 500 wins (in 1974, 1976, and 1980) and explains the allure and excitement of racing in this personal look back at his storied racing career.

A true sportsman, always generous with his time, this racing legend has become one of the greatest ambassadors the sport has ever known. In Lone Star J.R., the man himself explains how and why he has come to be one of the sport's most celebrated legends.

Kurtis-Kraft: Masterworks of Speed and Style

By Gordon Eliot White

Working out of his shop in Glendale, CA, Frank Kurtis changed the face of American Racing, producing a long string of innovative midget, Sprint, Champ and Indy cars from 1935 to 1963. This photo history examines the entire ranges of these Kurtis-Kraft racers with special emphasis on the 60-plus cars that campaigned during the Indianapolis 500 in the 1950’s and early 1960’s.

During the heady front engine roadster period, Kurtis-Kraft racers, powered largely by the periods legendary Offenhauser Engines, won the 500 in an incredible five out of six years from 1950 to 1955. And at the end of the May classic in 1956, Kurtis created 21 of 33 cars in the starting field. Appendix includes nearly 40 pages of race and driver statistics.
