About the Book

At speeds of over 230 miles per hour, the Indy open-wheel race cars set the bar for American Championship car racing. For over 100 years, the Indy cars and their drivers have drawn hundreds of thousands of spectators to Speedway, Indiana, with another 6 million people watching the race on television or by live stream. In The Winning Cars of the Indianapolis 500, James Craig Reinhardt, author and official tour guide for the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, details the history of the famous race and how the open-wheel race cars have evolved over the last century. Starting in 1911 with the first running of the Indy 500, Reinhardt profiles each race and car, including the starting position, engine, tires, race speed, margin of victory, and much more. Featuring nearly 200 images of the automobiles and individuals who make the race renowned, this book showcases the top drivers and how racing has changed through two world wars, the Great Depression, and unforgettable accidents. This beautifully illustrated book is a must-have for veteran and rookie race fans alike.

About the Author :
James Craig Reinhardt is an official tour guide for the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and author of The Indianapolis 500: Inside the Greatest Spectacle in Racing.

Review :
This book focuses on the winning car of each race. 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.
