Book Description
Since the 1950s, NASCAR racing has experienced unrivaled growth. While the sport no longer has drivers fine-tuning their cars in back-lot garages, it still maintains a strong aura of the "American Everyman." As the number of races and teams increase, so too does the NASCAR sub-culture—"Winnebago Woodstocks" encircle each event, fans follow the fierce competition in the pits, and top drivers have achieved star status. For many Americans, NASCAR has become a lifestyle, informing their clothing, food, and travel habits. Speedway U.S.A. captures this world in all its startling color and smoldering rubber.

A great book on NASCAR February 16, 2006
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is an excellent book about NASCAR. Good stories and profiles on the top drivers and race teams and an interesting look at the development of NASCAR in recent years - the race tracks, the business of racing, the growing levels of coverage in the media. You get a real sense of why NASCAR continues to climb in popularity.
GREAT photos of racing action, pit road and the garage areas, giving you the close up look that every fan likes to see. Fun pictures of fans as well. All in all, a worthwhile book for anyone who calls themself a NASCAR fan.
