Description

The path of Grand Prix racing in America wound through raceways at Sebring, Riverside, Watkins Glen, Long Beach, and finally Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.

At each stop, the influence of organized crime seemed no more than a handshake away.

But at Ceasars the vast crime syndicate was deeply involved in the operations of the luxury-branded resort.

The Caesars Palace Grand Prix culminated in an unholy alliance of the world capital of gambling, the mob and the international czar of Formula One. During its four-year run, the race hosted the biggest names in motorsport—Mario Andretti, Bernie Ecclestone, Roger Penske, Chris Pook, Alan Jones, Nelson Piquet, Niki Lauda, Danny Sullivan, Bobby Rahal and Al Unser among them.

The podium celebration of the inaugural Grand Prix put the convergence of organized crime and auto racing on public display, while the years that followed provided their own curiosities.

This book traces the intertwined threads through decades of accounts, extensive interviews, and the files of the FBI.
