From the Inside Flap
They are the men behind the wheel of America’s most popular motorsport. They are NASCAR racers. Every week, dozens of drivers and their teams grind out hundreds of hard-fought miles on tracks across America chasing the checkered flag---colorful cars driven by even more colorful drivers with all the drama you’d expect from a sport evolved from bootleggers outrunning the law.
For over 60 years, stock car racing has presented the ultimate in automotive excitement. The ever-evolving competition, teams, technology, and expert driving techniques have elevated NASCAR from its rough and tumble roots to a multi-billion-dollar business driven by dedicated fans and sponsorship.
Everyone has their favorite driver, from the past or the present. From Junior Johnson to Dale Jr., it’s the drivers who make the sport. In NASCAR Racers, Ben White profiles over 60 of the most famous drivers in NASCAR history, illustrated with colorful behind-the-scenes photos by Nigel Kinrade as well as fascinating historic images.
