This is a pretty good book, but not if you're expecting stories from the current era of NASCAR stars, for example, Jeff Gordon and Dale Earnhardt, Jr. Most of the stories relate to the older stars, and that's fine, but considering the cover art and the lead in for the title, I expected a little more of the "new" and a lilttle less of the "old" stories.

For Nascar fans like me Poole takes us behind the scenes and gives us some idea of what the drivers are like. Beware that the stories arent all comical or anything like that. But if you're into racing, it provides a depth that humanizes the drivers, warts included.

You know what?

There has to be more stories than just here. Mr Poole oughtta hurry up and write a sequel.

A fun read for all NASCAR fans! We definitely recommend it for non-serious reading!!

Like NASCAR? You'll love this book. I bought 2 of them for gifts. The recipients started thumbing through the books immediately. Great stories from NASCAR people.

This book is an easy read. I found many of the stories very interesting but for the most part I thought the book was rather boring. Some of the things I read I already heard about throughout the years and yet there were some that I had never heard. If you are really into the "new" NASCAR you might find this book interesting. Again - it was okay but not what I expected.

I bought this book for my dad for father's day. He loved it so much he read it all in two days. In fact he liked it so much that he kept interrupting people around the house saying "hey, listen to this..." He actually went around reading the book to anyone who would listen. He's been a race fan for more than 30 years and a mechanic for that long too so he was really into it. I think most of the stories were from old racers but he loved it just the same!

This is a good book to read if you are a NASCAR fan but I liked the Then Tony Said to Junior book better.

Good book. Love to read stories about racing, and especially inside stuff about the drivers off the track. Nice collection.

I love NASCAR history, and this is a great way to experience it. This book contains some of the best NASCAR stories, races, and pranks. I read it all in one sitting. It was fabulous! While the cover may be misleading, anyone who can appreciate the richness of NASCAR history will enjoy this book. A must for any TRUE NASCAR fan.

If you like NASCAR stories, facts, trivia, stats, then this is the book for you. The author puts it together well. And if you like this, you will also like NASCAR: An Interactive Guide to the World of Sports (Sports by the Numbers) Buy them both as a gift and you won't go wrong.
