This review is from: NASCAR Generations: The Legacy of Family in NASCAR Racing (Hardcover)
This is without a doubt one of the most completely compelling books about auto racing that I have ever read. The author manages to expertly blend the human side of families in the racing world,with the excitement of the sport. The book reads so smoothly, I keep thinking I saw a movie. If you're into the NASCAR scene, you must read this book.

The First NASCAR Book I Purchased,
By NASCARLadybug (TN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: NASCAR Generations: The Legacy of Family in NASCAR Racing (Hardcover)
Two years ago when I started following the motor sport NASCAR, I purchased this book to give me the history and background that i needed to be able to understand the roots and expansion of what we now see on modern racetracks.
It was reading about the France family that I learned the deep roots about the evolution from beach racing to the building of the Daytona track. I highly recommend this book as one to own and to read to enlighten you about the sport of racing stock cars if you go to races. As a woman, I must tell you girls to read this to learn why it is so popular with men.
