Book Description

Most Wanted(TM) July 31, 2001
Tim Flock once raced with a monkey in his car. When the 1961 Western North Carolina 500 was declared over after only 250 miles because of a deteriorating track surface, 4,000 fans held the drivers hostage. Driver Lloyd Seay was shot and killed by a cousin in a dispute over payment for a load of sugar used in their moonshining operation. One of NASCAR’s earliest tracks, in Daytona, Florida, used a beach for one straightaway and a public highway for the other.

Containing fifty lists of the top-ten drivers, tracks, finishes, technological innovations, and so on, NASCAR's Most Wanted™ will inform and amuse diehard fans and newcomers to the fast-growing, always exciting world of stock car racing.

3.0 out of 5 stars Funny but too short, June 7, 2002
By 
"afdsf3" (Panama City, FL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: NASCAR's Most Wanted(TM): The Top 10 Book of Outrageous Drivers, Wild Wrecks and Other Oddities (Paperback)
Some really off the wall funny stories, however, it seemed like it was just 'bits and pieces', nothing really complete.

1.0 out of 5 stars very poor, January 4, 2004
By 
Hugh McKenna (Warrenton, OR United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: NASCAR's Most Wanted(TM): The Top 10 Book of Outrageous Drivers, Wild Wrecks and Other Oddities (Paperback)
Numerous factual errors, incomplete, rehash of the same old stories, it adds nothing new to interest the reader. The author has an obvious bias against Dale Earnhardt Sr. Example: Earnhardt's death was 10th most important fatality in NASCAR acccording to his book. More important ones to the sport were J.D. McDuffie and Michael Ritch.

This review is from: NASCAR's Most Wanted(TM): The Top 10 Book of Outrageous Drivers, Wild Wrecks and Other Oddities (Paperback)
This is a great book! It is a combination of Top Tens and NASCAR trivia. A book of lists on my favorite sport. A must for any NASCAR fan!
