The Trussville Tribune’s The Green Flag

John Oreovicz became interested in cars when he was a child, and by the time he attended the Indianapolis 500 for the first time in 1978, he was hooked on racing. Since then, he devoted his professional career to studying and documenting the sport, working as a journalist for more than 25 years for ESPN.com, National Speed Sport News and Autosport, among others. John lives in Speedway, Indiana, within walking distance of Turn 1 of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and Indy car racing continues to play an important role in his life. He enjoys spending time with his son Patrick and collecting live recordings by David Gilmour and his other favorite musicians.
