Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This two-volume encyclopedia is the Daytona 500 of stock car racing books—an essential "Bible" that provides an all-encompassing history of the sport as well as an up-to-date examination of modern-day stock car racing. How did stock car racing become firmly entrenched in American pop culture, especially in light of the lack of interest in motorsports overall as a spectator activity in the United States? And what has been the secret to NASCAR's financial success and growth over the last six decades? Encyclopedia of Stock Car Racing highlights approximately 250 subjects that have defined the sport since stock car racing was first organized. Organized in A-Z order, it covers all of the greatest drivers, such as Richard Petty, Jimmie Johnson, Junior Johnson, and David Pearson; the special races such as the Daytona 500 and Brickyard 400; and the famed tracks across the country, from Bristol Motor Speedway to Darlington Raceway to Talladega Superspeedway. This unprecedented resource collects information about every element of NASCAR history in one place: the early personalities who shaped the sport and set things in motion, the past greats who have now retired, and today's rising stars who continue to make stock car racing one of the most popular sports in the United States.

Download or read book In the Blink of an Eye written by Michael Waltrip and published by Hachette Books. This book was released on 2011-02-01 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There was one lap to go in the 2001 Daytona 500, NASCAR's most celebrated event. Michael Waltrip and Dale Earnhardt Jr. were running one-two. Junior's legendary dad, the driver race fans called "The Intimidator," was close behind in third, blocking anyone who might try to pass. Waltrip couldn't stop thinking about all the times he'd struggled to stay ahead -- and the 462 NASCAR Cup races he'd lost without a single win. He'd been a race-car driver all his adult life, following in the footsteps of his brother Darrell, a three-time NASCAR champion. And his losing streak was getting more painful every race. But this day, he knew, could be different. He was driving for Dale Earnhardt now, racing as a team with his close friend and mentor. Yet as his car roared toward the finish line, ending that losing streak once and for all, Waltrip had no clue that the greatest triumph of his life could get mired in terrible tragedy. This is the story of that fateful afternoon in Daytona, a day whose echoes are still heard today. But the story begins years earlier in a small town in Kentucky, with a boy who dreamed of racing cars, a boy who was determined to go from go-karts to the highest levels of NASCAR. For the first time ever, Michael Waltrip tells the full, revealing story of how he got to Daytona, what happened there, and the huge impact it had on so many in the racing world. He reveals for the first time how his own life changed as he dealt with guilt, faced his grief, and searched for the fortitude to climb into a race car again. It's an inspiring and powerful story, told with Michael's trademark humor, honesty, and irreverence. It's a story of family, fulfillment, and redemption -- and well-earned victory in the end.

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.
