The Unfair Advantage
by Mark Donohue

Mark Donohue was the driving force behind Roger Penske, now owner of Indycar and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and Penske Racing in the 1960s and ‘70s. In 1974, Donohue took a year off from driving at the height of his racing career to write "The Unfair Advantage," a candid and revealing book about his journey through the world of auto racing -- from amateur races to winning the Indy 500. What spoke to me most about this story was his honesty about what success in motorsports cost him personally, a lesson that serves as a good reminder to never forget those that are most important to you. – Rob
