5.0 out of 5 stars It really helps you learn about NASCAR off the track., December 18, 1997

A truly excellant book. It really helps you learn what NASCAR is and does off of the track. It stages you as a team owner, and takes you from race weekend to building an engine. I really suggest you getting this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book, although it's not one you read straight through., December 18, 1997

This is a very good book, it really goes behind the scenes of NASCAR. It tells the story like you are the owner of the car. It cleared up a lot of stuff for me.
