Rusty Wallace : The Decision to Win [Paperback]

Bob Zeller (Author), Rusty Wallace (Author), Tom Morgan (Designer)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 1999

In a sport teeming with aggressive competitors, Rusty Wallace's commitment and drive are legendary. But few fans realize that Rusty's unyielding determination to race was already clear at the age of 16, when he got a court order to compete at his local St. Louis, Mo., track and won his very first race.

The story of Rusty's exciting and often difficult road to NASCAR glory is told in Rusty Wallace: The Decision To Win. Rusty and his family candidly recount each stage of his career, from his early years and his first attempt at Winston Cup in 1980, to his hard-won Winston Cup Championship in 1989 and his disappointing and controversial finish in the 1999 Daytona 500.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful book..., November 23, 1999

This review is from: Rusty Wallace : The Decision to Win (Paperback)

I only received this book yesterday, and as of this moment, I have about 15 pages left. It was impossible to put down, as it contained so many little-known facts about Rusty, Kenny, Mike and the rest of the people close to Rusty. Family and friends contributed many photos, old and new. There is so much about Rusty Wallace that you'll never know unless you read this book. The whole Wallace family was fully engulfed in the world of racing, and "Rusty Wallace - The Decision to Win" is a rare opportunity to take a peek inside the box of memories that was Rusty. A wonderful, wonderful read. The book's format is also very nice, and is a lot bigger in size than I expected. This book definitely will not be spending any time on a bookshelf. This book needs to be displayed on my coffee table! A must have for any RACE fan. Rusty Wallace fan, or not. It's a fascinating look at the struggles and triumphs along the road to where Rusty is today. I'd give it 10 stars if I could!

This review is from: Rusty Wallace : The Decision to Win (Paperback)

If you are a Rusty Wallace fan this is one you have 2 own. His last book RACER has long been out of print and Decision to Win has it beat. Great photography! Photos from the time Rusty was a young kid up 2 today. Almost every question you could ask about Rusty, his career and family are answered. Get it now before it goes out of print 2!

This review is from: Rusty Wallace : The Decision to Win (Paperback)

For all you Rusty fans and those who are not, this is a must read book. Received my copy during the holiday time and I could not put the book down. A lot of information about Rusty Wallace and how he got his start into Nascar.

Great photographs. A book you will not put down.
