Finding the Groove features interviews with 27 leading drivers of the era: everyone from Richard Petty to Mario Andretti to Mark Donahue. Three were drag racers: Don Garlits, then the number one driver in the top fuel division; Don Prudhomme, who was equally dominant in funny cars; and Malcolm Garrett, a street racer from my hometown of Michigan City, Indiana. Malcolm never achieved the level of drag racing fame as Garlits or Prudhomme, but years later, Malcolm switched sports, serving as corner man for heavyweight champion Mike Tyson. In each chapter of Finding the Groove, I ask the driver: "How do you go fast around a racetrack?" This book features their answers. Some drivers understood their sport better than others, or at least had the ability to communicate their understanding better.

This book contains everything needed to know about running the half marathon, including where to begin, what to focus on, pacing, how to avoid injury, how to track progress, how to stay the course and how to improve. Whether this is their first or their fiftieth half marathon, there is a plan for everyone.

Johnny Rutherford was one of the most exciting drivers in big-time auto racing of the 1970s. In these action-filled pages author Hal Higdon tells how Rutherford grew into a racing great. Starting out driving sprint and midget cars in the Midwest, Johnny moved on to stock-car racing--that hair-raising sport in which you shove the throttle pedal to the floor and hold it there all the way around the track. Higdon follows Johnny's career on to Daytona and finally the famous Indy 500. This is the fascinating true story of how a young man made it all the way to the top in the most dangerous sport of all.
