Veteran US racing writer and award-winning author Gordon Kirby introduces his new book Jim McGee: Crew Chief of Champions, told largely in McGee’s own words, about one of the most successful crew chiefs in Indy car racing history. McGee’s cars won 90 races between 1965-2005, including four Indy 500s and nine Indy car championships.
This book features interviews with all the top drivers and team owners McGee worked with over his long career, including championship-winning drivers Mario Andretti (three times), Tom Sneva (twice), Rick Mears, Emerson Fittipaldi, Bobby Rahal and Nigel Mansell.
Jim McGee: Crew Chief of Champions also traces McGee’s role in the development of today’s big race teams with fleets of engineers in contrast to the three and four-man teams of the early ’60s.
The book is filled with over 300 images, many from the Racemaker Archive, never before published.
