Art Garner retired from a forty-year career in journalism and automotive public relations and continued his racing reporting with his first book, Black Noon: The Year They Stopped the Indy 500. A wrenching look into the tragic 1964 race, it was a finalist for the prestigious PEN/ESPN award for literary sports writing. Subsequent titles include I**ndy 500 Memories: An Oral History of the Greatest Spectacle in Racing and Hood to Coast Memories, about the running relay race staged each year from Mt. Hood to the coast of Oregon.
