\"\"<\/a><\/em>Black Noon: The Year They Stopped the Indy 500<\/h2>\n

By Art Garner<\/h3>\n

The 48th running of the Indianapolis 500 was one of the darkest days in the history of our sport, and not just because of the towering cloud of black smoke that marked the spot where we lost two heroes. One was a popular veteran looking toward the end of his career, the other a young shooting star on his way to the top, but neither would make it to the end of the second lap.<\/p>\n

With words based in extensive and exhaustive research, author Garner has woven a compelling tale that works up to its climax by tracking the full range of activities during the month of May that led up to the 500, assessing all the factors that would influence the outcome of the race and providing priceless perspective through countless interviews with those directly involved. Most of us know what happened, now we can see how all the various pieces fit together and ultimately impacted the outcome.<\/p>\n

Indycar fan or not, this book is a must read for anyone wishing to understand the complexities at the heart of our sport.<\/p>\n
