If you are interested in the development of the Indycar safety team I highly recommend the podcast "Deadly Passions, Terrible Joys" specifically this episode:
The stunning rise of IndyCar's groundbreaking safety team

This episode hits a lot of the high points from this book without having to slog through this authors poor writing style and lots of personal details. 
Even if someone has a cool story to tell, that doesn't mean they should be an author. This book walked the unfortunate line of being too medically/science-heavy to please the reader looking for a biography and too personal life-heavy for those looking for a medical/science book. I came in being a lot more interested in his career than his life, so a lot of the details about his life were very *eye roll* to me. Also, this book does not necessarily age well in terms of how he speaks about women. It is very reminiscent of the general attitude towards women in motorsport/other male-dominated fields in general, so it is not surprising, especially for a book published in the early 2000s. Overall, I think it felt like a victory lap over an actual educational book about his miraculous career and achievements in his field. 

Lots of cool facts and tidbits in here but not worth the boringness of the other pages which is a shame because Dr.Olvey truly had an astounding career. 

I will say that although I didn't enjoy all of the personal chatter it was cool to get to see the personalities of some motorsport legends through the eyes of someone close to them.
