Book Description

February 1, 2008
You see the drivers every week in their logo-covered, fire-retardant jumpsuits, doing backflips after winning a race. You see them on ESPN, their cars speeding past in a blur, lap after lap, and you read about them in newspapers, magazines, and on the Internet. You hear them interviewed and watch them on commercials for everything from pizza to cell phones.

Now, for the first time, you can see the drivers as they actually live. Portraits of NASCAR brings you into their dens, kitchens, and living rooms, providing a relaxed and intimate at-home look at the private lives of your favorite NASCAR drivers. In stunning black-and-white photography and accompanying text, you¹ll see them relaxing with their wives and children, you¹ll learn about their hobbies and outside interests, and you¹ll learn what they enjoy outside the frenetic pace of their demanding racing careers.

You¹ll get a firsthand look at the beauty and closeness of the motorsports family and how those ties bring strength and support to these incredibly talented people.
