Auto Racing
The Cars of Vel Miletich and Parnelli Jones Jim Dilamarter, Dean Kirkland & Ren Wicks, Jr. Vel Miletich, Parnelli Jones, and their Vel’s Parnelli Jones (VPJ) Racing team dominated the American racing scene of the 1970s from Jones’s humble early career, to the pinnacle of motorsports: back to-back Indianapolis 500 wins and three consecutive United States Auto Club National Championships. Although these cars are ideally viewed in person at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Hall of Fame Museum, the pages of this book will certainly whet one’s appetite for this most amazing collection.
