    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    If you were mingling in the paddock leading up to the 110th running of the Indy 500 in May, chances are you caught sight of 1969 race winner Mario Andretti. His legacy is as much a part of the Brickyard as the bricks themselves. And when Andretti is making the rounds, you might see him wearing this 1981 Indy 500 victory ring, the most controversial prize in the history of motorsport.

    It all started on lap 149 of the 1981 Indianapolis 500, 45 years ago.

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    “You wouldn’t believe what happens when a man like that turns on the faucet,” the late Carroll Shelby once told me, regarding Henry Ford II’s decision to spend whatever it took to beat Ferrari at Le Mans in the Sixties. We all know how that turned out. The Ford–Ferrari wars pitted two of history’s most powerful companies against each other in an epochal rivalry to win the greatest sports-car race on earth. It’s a story that continues to capture the imagination of the masses. And with Ford’s anno
