Book Description
Stand on It is the ribald, lunatic "autobiography" of one of the craziest, meanest race car drivers who ever lived -- Stroker Ace. Filled with the gritty authenticity and roaring excitement of the professional racing world, Stand on It is a hard, tough, funny novel that explodes with life as you follow Stroker Ace's drinking, loving, brawling exploits in bedrooms and back rooms and on the track.

A great book July 8, 2004
My husband loved this book and convinced me to read it...I read his copy to pieces and have had to order another to replace it. This is a laugh out loud novel...grab your copy today!
If you love NASCAR before the corporate world took over... July 7, 2004
Welcome to the way NASCAR was when men were men, the cars were men and the women were, well...women. The all-time funniest expose' on NASCAR ever, bar none. This is back before the Politically Correct corporate culture that has taken over NASCAR existed. If you know a little NASCAR history, you'll identify the people (the names were changed to protect the guilty) and howl with laughter. Will someone Pulleezze make a movie that is really based on this book, not the Hal Needham peice of junk that waw released to theaters. Enjoy.
Way,way,way under-rated! March 4, 2002
This is the best, funniest book on racing ever. I can't believe it hasn't been memorialized. I hope Neely was paid well for the Hollywood trash-it should have been done by Newman... in the spirit of "Slap Shot".
Must read for older racing fans February 21, 2000
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
This book is dated now, but it is a great read for folks who were fans of the sport in the 60's and 70's. There were lots of stories from that period that took place on and off the track that are recounted in the book.It makes me laugh out loud every time I read it!
The REAL story about auto racing September 10, 1999
This book is an absolute MUST READ for anyone who ever wondered how to park their car in a swimming pool. Find out what racers really think just before they smack a wall at 200 mph. Learn how to start racing in a Birdcage and wind up in the big league of NASCAR. Learn out to turn a visit to the infield hospital into a long term relationship. Also, the finer points of racing in reverse gear at night. Seriously, this book is a riot! I read it orginally in the early 70's and have been searching for it ever since then. Not to be confused with the horrid movie starring Burt Reynolds.
