Indy Split: The Big Money Battle that Nearly Destroyed Indy Racing
by John Oreovicz
Big-time open-wheel racing in America is big business. And money is, as they say, the root of all evil. Followed by ego. If you can talk about CART, USAC, CRL, and IRL in the same sentence you know what this book will be about. It’s a bruising read—but there’s a happy end.
500 On (The Indy) 500

Second to One: All But For Indy

The Indy Car Wars

Black Noon: The Year They Stopped the Indy 500

Izod IndyCar Series 2012 Historical Record Book
by Steve Shunck and Tim Sullivan
Indy cars have a long, and therefore convoluted, history. A book that finally gathers all the records and untangles the history seems a fine thing—except that it is plagued with sins of omission and commission.
Blood and Smoke: A True Tale of Mystery, Mayhem, and the Birth of the Indy 500

Al Unser Jr.—A Checkered Past
as told to Jade Gurss
“There and back again” could be the theme of this story. It is not about image-burnishing but unblinking candor about the highest highs and the lowest lows, and that racing, even successfully, is not everything.
Mike Spence: Out of the Shadows
by Richard Jenkins
He was a man on the move both on the track and in his career but overshadowed by others in both. At his very peak, with a win in reach, he suffered a fatal crash during practice. At long last here is a proper biography to give Spence his due recognition.
Shutter & Speed 2
by Gary Critcher
Vol. 1 sold well enough to make possible the hoped-for vol. 2, again offering previously unseen motorsports images. The emphasis is on GP racing but there’s also F2, Indy 500, hillclimbs, and non‐championship F1 races.
