The book has an amazing amount of historical information, and the collectables are incredible! You feel like you've stepped back in time to the memorable events that have made NASCAR what it is today. A must have for fans and racers alike.

This book is great! It is full of great old photos and memoribilia.

I have purchased two of these books, one for a seven year old and another for an eleven year old and they love them. They are filled with so much information and they like looking at all the memorabilia from past years and how the cars have changed. I suggest every NASCAR fan no matter how young or old, purchase one of these books, it is well worth it.

My nephew has thoroughly enjoyed this book. He is a NASCAR fanatic at 10 years old. The history of this program is eloquently outlined. The pictures and items included are a great plus.

This is the coolest book. I saw this and thought my dad would absolutely love this for Christmas. We exchanged gifts yesterday and it was the best - the look on his face and the fact that he knew a lot about this history and he remembered the actual patches for the jackets and the bumper stickers from when they first came out. This is the best present I got him this year and he was more than happy with this book.

An incredible book with the history of the sport of Nascar. Very worthwhile reading and a definite keepsake for years to come. Thank you for offering this book. KC Gordon

This book is a fresh take on an often written-about subject. The use of replica tickets, programs and other nuggets of NASCAR history make for enjoyable sidetrips through the prose and photos. Lavishly produced, tightly written, this stands out from many other worthy efforts in recent years. Recommended highly.

For the first time ever, NASCAR has opened its massive archives to the public, taking fans on a speed-defying journey through a national phenomenon's evolution. The NASCAR Vault chronicles the growth of one of America's greatest obsessions, and includes more than 150 images and 26 plastic-encased NASCAR collectibles to tell the story as it should be told: in 3-D.

Even NASCAR founder Bill France, Sr. couldn't have imagined just how huge his creation would become, from drawing a crowd of 14,000 at NASCAR's debut race in 1948, to attracting a television audience of over 33 million at the 2004 Daytona 500-making it the world's most watched motorsports event. From a replica of NASCAR's first race report to a ticket from Dale Earnhardt's first Daytona 500 win, The NASCAR Vault allows you hold pieces of NASCAR in your hand as you read and see the history of NASCAR unfold. With NASCAR insiders H.A. Branham and Buz McKim as guides, experience the crowds getting bigger, the cars becoming faster, and the stakes growing sky-high. http://www.ironmill.com/nascar
