Download or read book The Wildest Ride written by Joe Menzer and published by Simon & Schuster. This book was released on 2002-06-04 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Wildest Ride, Joe Menzer gives us a timely, comprehensive look at the dramatic, rollicking history of stock-car racing in America, exploring both its inauspicious bootlegging beginnings and the billion-dollar industry that it has become. Menzer straps the reader into the driver's seat for a run through NASCAR's history, revealing the sport's remarkable rise from rogue outfit to corporate darling. Menzer also profiles the many superstar drivers who have dominated the sport, men as unpredictable as they are fearless, including "The Intimidator," Dale Earnhardt, whose ferocious driving made him NASCAR's signature personality -- and whose tragic death at the 2001 Daytona 500 was mourned by millions. Menzer expertly maneuvers through the tight corners and wide-open straightaways of NASCAR's history, examining the circuit's attempt to distance itself from its "redneck racin'" past without compromising its country roots. Simultaneously rowdy and insightful, The Wildest Ride is a thorough and unfailingly honest account of NASCAR's amazing rise to prominence and a sweeping account of a uniquely American phenomenon.
Download or read book NASCAR Greatest Races written by Tom Higgins and published by HarperEntertainment. This book was released on 1999-11-03 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each week of the racing season produces new excitement for the drivers and fans of NASCAR. Some weeks have produced the kind of heart-stopping moments that etch a race into the hearts and minds of fans. Those are the great races. The races featured in this book are stops along a time line that has spanned five decades of an American tradition. From the formative days on the hard-packed dirt tracks to the modern era of the superspeedway, every race has unfolded with its own unique story. NASCAR polled drivers, members of the media, and fans to select the twenty-five greatest NASCAR races. The resulting NASCAR Greatest Races is a panorama of the NASCAR experience. There are fabulous finishes, amazing comebacks, classic duels, and transforming milestones. Events such as the Rayson Memorial of 1948, NASCAR's first race, and the 1979 Daytona 500, the first NASCAR race shown live wire-to-wire on network television, helped shape NASCAR's history. The spotlight has fallen on individual drivers such as Dale Earnhardt, Bill Elliott, and Jeff Gordon, rivalries like that between Richard Petty and David Pearson, or photo finishes like the one that confirmed Lee Petty's victory in the inaugural Daytona 500 of 1959. NASCAR Greatest Races pairs more than one hundred full-color and black-and-white action-packed, historic shots with eyewitness accounts and personal reflections from the actors in this revved-up arena. The National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing begins its second half-century as the fastest growing major spectator sport in the United States. Nearly six million people attended NASCAR Winston Cup Series races in 1998 and more than 150 million watched the action on television. NASCAR also sanctions twelve other touring series as well as races at more than 130 tracks throughout the nation.

Download or read book Richard Petty written by Charles River Editors and published by . This book was released on 2020-02-11 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *Includes pictures *Includes excerpts of contemporary articles about Petty's races *Includes a bibliography for further reading "I'd rather be called King than other things I've been called." - Richard Petty A person may not know anything about baseball, but they still likely know the name Babe Ruth. Others may not watch football, but they still likely know who Tom Brady is. And most people have never been to a stock car race, but they've likely heard of Richard Petty, along with his simple but fitting nickname: "The King." Of course, there are plenty of reasons why Petty is so legendary, and why "The King" is more than merely a nickname. The name is an acknowledgment that Richard Petty is quite possibly the greatest driver in the history of stock car racing, and while some may debate that, nobody can argue that he is the winningest driver in the history of National Association of Stock Car Auto Racing-sanctioned events. Over the course of 34 years, Petty won 200 races in his career, was the first driver to win the NASCAR Cup Championship seven times (the others being Dale Earnhardt and Jimmie Johnson), and to date is the only driver to win under different points systems. He won NASCAR's biggest race, the Daytona 500, a record seven times, and he holds the record for the most wins in a single season (27 out of 49 races in 1967). Petty holds the record for number of starts from the pole (127), number of Top 10 finishes (over 700), and total starts (1,184). Such was his standing that he was one of the three drivers (along with Dale Earnhardt and Junior Johnson) inducted into the inaugural class of the NASCAR Hall of Fame in 2010. Petty has famously claimed that he never actually retired, but simply quit driving, and he remains active in the sport well into his 80s as the owner of Richard Petty Motorsports. He is still a frequent sight on race day in his signature cowboy hat and sunglasses, a look that has made him instantly recognizable over many decades. More than any other person, Richard Petty represents the transition of NASCAR stock car racing from a Southern regional sport to one with an international following. Richard Petty: The Life and Legacy of The King of NASCAR profiles the legendary life and career of NASCAR's most famous driver, both on and off the track. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about Richard Petty like never before.

Download or read book The Blount Report written by Terry Blount and published by Triumph Books. This book was released on 2009-02-01 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While fans continue to debate the relative merits of their favorite drivers, ESPN.com's premier motor sports writer Terry Blount now brings some needed clarity and perspective to America's biggest spectator sport, rating drivers, teams, cars, and tracks, and "bluntly" lets readers know which are overrated and which are underrated in a new book that's bound to further the debate and stir up more controversy. It's an all-fun but in-depth look at the opinionated discussions fans have in their living rooms every weekend: "That guy isn't as good as people think", or, "That driver is way better than where he finished." Did the reputation match the results? Was the performance better than the perception? And how much of a factor was the car? Evaluating driver skills is a whopping task, even for the most knowledgeable folks in the sport. But Blount is one of the most qualified analysts, and well up to the task of trying to separate fact from fiction, reputation from reality, and equipment from talent. Along with rating drivers, The Blount Report also rates a vast array of the NASCAR world from speedways to races and rules to records. It's all up for debate. So fasten your seatbelt and enjoy...it may get a bit bumpy along the way but it's well worth the ride.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a sport known for its brash personalities, risk-takers, and speed demons, Matt Kenseth is something of an oddity. He is the perfect illustration of the truism that Slow and steady in the race. Known as a conservative driver who plays clean, drives patiently, and slowly but relentlessly moves to the front of the pack, Kenseth is routinely in the Top 15 race finishers and near the top of the NASCAR Cup series point totals, even though he wins few races outright. In fact, in 2003 he earned the Winston Cup Championship even though he won only one race that season. Though a quiet, steady, unassuming presence on and off the track, he has had his share of dust-ups with leading NASCAR drivers like Tony Stewart, Jeff Gordon, Carl Edwards, and Kevin Harvick. Quiet and conservative, but no push over, Kenseth prefers to prove his mettle on the track.
