In the interest of full disclosure to the Hemmings Nation, I co-wrote this book, did a lot of organization of the text and so forth. But it’s the story of Don Miller, the longtime Hemmings reader and hugely influential racing partner to Roger Penske, that makes “Miller’s Time” a remarkable tale: So much so that the day before the 2011 Indianapolis 500, it won second place in the American Auto Racing Writers and Broadcasters Association‘s annual book competition.
Dare I say it, that’s a pretty big deal, given that the AARWBA contest historically attracts an international field of tough entries by very well informed and talented writers. Don’s story is one of determination, compassion, enormous success and near death, all for the love of fast cars. You can get your copy from the publisher, Coastal 181; call 877-907-8181 or visit www.coastal181.com. It’s $29.95, with all net proceeds going to the prevention of child abuse in and around Don’s adopted hometown of Mooresville, North Carolina.
