I just read the book by Bob Gates Vukovich, an inspiring story of American achievement. Although the book came out in 2004, it is well written and Bob Gates has talked with family (Bill's sister, Babe, his brother, Mike, and his son, Bill, Jr) and racing buddies including mechanic Jim Travers. It is well worth a read.
I also did a short book review on it. http://sigurwhitaker...om/?page_id=119.
