Book Description

Publication Date: May 1998

After decades of struggling to find its way into the hearts of American sports fans, NASCAR Winston Cup racing has finally come of age. Celebrating fifty years of lightning-fast speeds, the nation's fastest-growing spectator sport continues to gain momentum. As NASCAR breaks gender and age harriers, race day attendance climbs higher and higher. With all of the elements of success -mind-boggling speed, action-packed competition and heart-throb heros - it is not hard to understand why hundreds of thousands of fans line up every weekend at tracks across the country. Dover Downs NASCAR captures a weekend of racing at one of the nation's fastest growing tracks. As Dover celebrates its 30th anniversary, an all-star team of journalists has put into words and pictures three decades of racing on one of the circuit's toughest tracks - The Monster Mile. The award-winning team, including a two-time Pulitzer Prize winner, a National Geographic photographer, and the National Newspaper Photographer of the Year, followed the action from the campgrounds to victory lane, providing an insightful look at the weekly struggle for speed. The stars of the circuit - Jeff Gordon, Dale Earnhardt, Bill Elliot, Dale Jarrett, Mark Martin, Ernie Irvan - are all captured candidly as they do what they do better than anybody else in the world. Whether you are new to NASCAR, a veteran of many races on The Monster Mile or someone who appreciates quality photography and a good story, you are invited to sit down with this book and discover the excitement of NASCAR.
