5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome reference, February 13, 2006

By	R. L. Beegle (Charleston, W.Va.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you are a NASCAR fan and a stat junky, this is the perfect book. With yearly drivers and owners statistics, plus the top five finishers from every race in the Grand National/Winston Cup series, this book has every stat that is important. The only drawback is that it was published in 2003, so the last two years worth of results are not documented. Notwithstanding that blemish, this is a great reference.
