Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Jack Arute is a great guy and I loved his recounts of classic tales from The Brickyard. I hope there is a second volume some day. If you enjoy this, you may wanna check out the A.J. Foyt autobiography simply titled "A.J.".
Not sure why Danica got the cover as she was barely mentioned. Since she is the hot new thing, I guess they hoped to sell a few more books.

Jack Arute was a fresh-faced 18-year-old just out of high school when he made his first trip to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. As a graduation present from his father, the two set out for the 1969 Indianapolis 500. When he walked through the gates for the first time it was everything he thought it would be: Gasoline Alley in front of him and the "Yellow Shirts" blaring on their whistles to clear the way for the drivers passing through. Arute soaked it all in and took a hundred pictures, realizing that day just how special Indy was and how he wanted to somehow be a part of it. He eventually made that dream come true through his job as a pit reporter for ABC Sports. From his initial fear of approaching A.J. Foyt in the garage as a cub reporter to waiting out Gil de FerranÂs tears after he won the 87th running of the race, "Jackie" has seen it all. He now relates all of his greatest, funniest, and most meaningful stories in the updated softcover edition of Jack AruteÂs Tales from the Indy 500.
