Reseñas editoriales

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.

Resumen del Editor

The best stories from the "Greatest Spectacle in Racing" at historic Indianapolis Motor Speedway - newly updated.

What’s it like to race across the blacktop of the nation’s most famous track? How does it feel to smash into a concrete wall while going over 200 miles per hour? This exciting, humorous, and poignant collection of tales takes listeners inside the most exciting race in America. Tales from the Indianapolis 500 captures horrific collisions and sweet victories from drivers past and present.

Great stories, but my gosh the pronunciation

Awesome stories about the inner workings of the Indy 500 and the teams/crews that make the show such a spectacle. I only wish that the narrator could have done just a little bit of research and not butcher so many names like Kanaan, Franchitti, and Ganassi (just to name a few).

A must read for race fans

Very unique perspective and great stories.
P the narrator mispronounced a lot of driver names, but they are hard to pronounce.
Over all amazing.

Good Story Collection Mangled by Narrator

I’ve attended or watched the 500 festivities and races for over 60 years. I learned a lot of behind the scenes activities. In absolutely No Way would Jack Arute butcher driver, crew chief, owner and sponsor names. Jack was a respected announcer during race times. The narrator didn’t put forth effort to know his material and he degraded the sport.

Great stories, bad narration

The stories presented by Arute in this memoire are fantastic! Any fan of the Indy 500 will truly enjoy these accounts.

However, the narrator butchered MANY of the names of the racers and the series. I’m pretty disappointed that these great stories were jaded by so many mispronunciations.

If you can get past that, you’ll enjoy the book.

Dreadful

Unbelievably dreadful. Interesting stories, but no continuity. And the performance; absolutely awful! The mispronouncing of names and cars is astounding. Doesn’t anyone “proofread” audio books? If I was the author I would demand a redo.

Fun listen, but mispronunciations of well-known names a distraction

Some very interesting, insider stories. A little short on depth, but good for quick listens with a personal touch. Major issue, though, with constant mispronunciations of well-known people's names. Did the publisher even have one knowledge person listen to this before releasing? Amateurish and took away from the book's credibility.

Great Book... Worth the PAIN of the poor narration

This book is packed full of great stories and Jack did a great job of sharing so much fun backstage at the Brickyard. The issue comes from the exceptionally poor reading. From mispronounced names to a cadence that makes it a challenge to know when we've changed topics, this guy is awful. BUT the book is worth the battle!

Interesting stories poorly produced

The poor audio editorial and production is the biggest challenge of this book. It is a constant bother throughout that the narrator and editorial team couldn’t correctly pronounce the name of key subjects and the sanctioning bodies of the sport.
