A Good Overall History August 20, 2002
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Although a few years old this is a very comprehensive book covering many aspects of the history of NASCAR. While it tends to lean heavily on the cars, the models and the horsepower, it also covers the tracks, the drivers and offers many little tidbits. Although not statistics driven it also offers track lengths, banking degrees, lap records and average race speed records of each track. As well as a list of NASCAR championship points winners from 1949 to 1998. It lists the all time winston cup race winners and the all time winston cup pole winners from the same periods. pThis book is easy to read and would also be enjoyed by the younger fans, say 10 and up. It has a lot of pictures of the cars throughout the years. Good for newer fans to see what they looked like and older fans to remember back when they could tell the cars apart. There is also a small biography section in the back of the book detailing some of the best drivers in history. pIf you are a hardcore fan of NASCAR this would be a great overview. If you are new to the sport this book is a great starting place, chock full of information. Buy it and enjoy it.
