DH audio has an interesting audio series, Rolling Thunder, regarding stock car racing in the 1960's. This four-volume audio series (White Lightning, Road to Daytona, Race to Glory, On to Talladega, (all three-hour abridgements) narrated by Michael Skinner, brings the listener right into the pit. These audios have an historical background and well as the fictional one in these tales.

I have to admit I bought this book at a grocery store. The cover caught my attention and now I see there are others I have to order. Great, historically accurate book about racing. Surprised the publisher didn't make the author put in all the silly stuff most stories about NASCAR have. Or make them be negative about racing. Been a fan for thirty years and this is the way it is...good and bad!

I Think this book is a great sequal to the Rolling Thunder series. It depicts the action of a true racer, when Jodell is forced to let his cheif wrench in the cockpit of his car after a serios wreck at the new talledega track in Alabama. I find that the book follows history very well interluding a ficitional chacter with the likes of Richard Petty, David Pearson, Tiny Lund and other NASCAR legends. I would suggest this book to anyone who is interested in learning the roots of stock car racing to buy this book and any of the other Rolling Thunder books. I can't wait for #5 to come out.
