Editor reviews
At the Indy 500, exchanges between drivers off the track can be as explosive as those on the track, and Tony Carnaghi's lively and animated reading of Jack Arute and Jenna Fryer's book transports the listener to the front row of the action.
A single wrong turn, improper pass, or blown tire can spell defeat in the race, but they can also easily result in peril. Arute and Fryer expertly capture the drama and volatility of "The Greatest Spectacle in Racing" with this collection of riveting stories, and Carnaghi elevates their prose with a performance that makes it difficult to stop listening after hitting play.

Maybe research how to pronounce names
Some interesting snippets of stories from someone who was part of Indy for a long time, but utterly ruined by a comprehensive butchering of the pronunciation of driver names, although my 'favourite' was the narrator's ability to pronounce "Formula Vauxhall" so incorrectly (despite a pause beforehand that screamed 'I have no idea how to pronounce that word, I haven't read the book beforehand or researched this subject, but I'll have a go. What's the worst that could happen?') that it wasn't even recognisable.
