Racing heroes...who and why they are, and what they mean to the sport, are the driving forces of the June 2012 issue of RACER magazine. From personal recollections of motorsport's iconic characters by current racing greats who revere them, to the uniquely heroic nature of the Indianapolis 500 and an exclusive "In Focus" photo shoot of the America's hero at Le Mans, the Corvette C6.R RACER's June issue delivers evocative words and images on every one of its 120 pages, printed – as are all issues of the all-new RACER 3.0 – on 80lb paper stock.
