Overview

Every May, the world turns its gaze to a 2.5-mile oval carved into the Indiana soil-an arena where legends are born, hearts are broken, and history is measured in thousandths of a second. Indy 500 Immortals takes readers on a high-octane journey through 25 of the most iconic, controversial, and transformative races ever run at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. From Ray Harroun's mirror-clad Marmon Wasp in 1911 to Josef Newgarden's fenceline celebration in 2023, this is a century-spanning story of machines, mayhem, and momentous triumphs. With a vibrant, narrative style that fuses cultural history, technical intrigue, and character-driven drama, each chapter dives deep into a single race that helped redefine the world's greatest motorsport event. You'll relive Danica Patrick's ground-shaking debut, the Mercedes-powered heist of 1994, and the eerie silence of the 2020 pandemic race-all rendered with the thrill of a final-lap duel and the intimacy of a pit-lane whisper. Perfect for longtime fans and new readers alike, Indy 500 Immortals is not just a book about racing. It's a celebration of the sound, speed, spectacle, and soul of America's most enduring sporting tradition.
