Book project- Living On The Edge: A History of Auto Racing in Michigan

I've already interviewed legendary drivers like Ed Howe, Bob Senneker, Johnny Benson, Joy Fair, Cy Fairchild, Gordon Johncock, Mike Eddy, Tommy Maiers and Joe Ruttman. I've also inviewed auto racing giants like Edsel Ford, Ron Drager, Jack Roush and Herb Fishel (retired Director of Racing for GM).

Still need help with a contact # for Roger Penske and Pat Patrick.

It all basically started with Henry Ford's victory in Grosse Point over the 1901 land speed record holder Alexander Winton. That put auto racing in the news and launched Ford Motor Co.

Who do you think should be included?
