I have been doing research on racing, I picked up this book to learn more about NASCAR and I got just what I asked for! Informatative, interesting, fun, it keeps me wanting to read more. This is a perfect reference guide for the new NASCAR fan or the "seasoned" NASCAR fan! A great look into the fastest growing sport.

I'm fairly new to stock car racing so this book came in handy. Everything the new or old fan needs to understand stock car racing in a better manner. I'd highly recommend this book for anyone interested in the sport.
