Book Description
Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes at a NASCAR race? Join the club. The backstage race-week action is one of the most secretive and fascinating aspects of the racing world. For the first time ever, Triumph Books has been granted full access to every aspect of race week at Talladega and Darlington, even the top-secret post-race inspections. Join the very best photojournalists as they cover Hendrick Motorsports, Haas CNC Racing, and MB2/MBV Motorsports. These three teams themselves are allowing an unprecedented, behind-the-scenes view of every aspect of racing, from traveling on team planes to the machine shops, the pits, the garages, and more.
From the Inside Flap
NASCAR fans get closer to the action than fans of any other sport. But no matter now much access America's premier racing league offers, you can only see so much. A Week in the Life of NASCAR: A View from Within takes you beyond the Restricted and Authorized Personnel Only signs into a world of unlimited access, a 360-degree view of racing. From The Big One at Talladega to the thrilling last-lap win at The Lady in Black, this book offers a first-hand look at NASCAR's frenetic pace through the eyes of drivers and teams from Hendrick Motorsports, MB2/MBV Motorsports and Haas CNC Racing. Witness everything from behind-closed-doors prerace pep talks to the final postrace inspection of Jeff Gordon's Talladega-taming car. This book also focuses on days away from the track and the people who don't often make it on TV. Although only the driver emerges from the car in victory lane, it takes an army of people to capture the checkered flag. You meet "carpetwalkers" and shop gurus; go to testing and see how some of NASCAR's best drivers live between races. This book offers a never-before-seen perspective on NASCAR life.
