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.
