Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

For a growing number of sports fans, the romance of the road reaches its apotheosis on the NASCAR racetrack: American muscle smoking and snarling at speeds in excess of 200 mph; adoring crowds rubbernecking in time with the ear-splitting Doppler effect; the specter of death forever hovering over the corners and straightaways, waiting to write another speeding ticket. American Stock Car Racers documents the reality of the near-mythic world of stock car racing. Richard Petty, Bobby Allison, Dale Earnhardt, Junior Johnson, "Big Bill" France--they're all here, along with biographies and the ominous birth and death dates where appropriate. With its full-sized photos of grit-faced drivers and streaking cars, this is a big, colorful testament to a tough sport and the drivers who live for speed.
