When Stock Car Racing Was Real,
By Joseph Yeater "Ol' Country Boy & City Wife" (Hampton, GA USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Legends of Stock Car Racing: Racing, History (Paperback)
This is an excellent book for all the "old timers" who followed real stock car racing through the 50's and 60's when many drivers ran totally unsponsored. Drivers such as Rex White, who ran unsponsored many times but still managed to win the championship in 1959, the Allison brothers, and many others who struggled through the lean years, are the true backbone of stock car racing. Those were tough years for the drivers who were trying to make a living at it but as far as I'm concerned, they were really the best years for us as spectators. I have had the pleasure of meeting Fonty Flock and Fireball Roberts, and having dinner one evening with Rex White. The Flocks, Roberts, Allisons, Whites, Pettys and many others like them, are the real heroes of stock car racing and this book relates the stories of many of them and the sacrifices and struggles they and their families endured.
