Review By Tim Kennedy
This 6.5” X 9.25” soft-cover book, published in May 2009, is 256 pages with outstanding photography (300 color photos) by Nigel Kinrade. It is a book that new or long-time NASCAR fans will enjoy. The introduction tells it all by titles of the six chapters.
Ch. 1 – Legends of NASCAR (10 drivers);
Ch. 2 - Champions (12 drivers);
Ch. 3 – One-Time Wonders (4 drivers);
Ch. 4 – Current Drivers (19 drivers);
Ch. 5 – Memorials (6 drivers);
Ch. 6 – The New Class (11 drivers).
You will learn interesting facts about 62 NASCAR drivers. I learned that late NASCAR star Glen “Fireball” Roberts and I share the same birthday (Jan. 20) and he was born ten years before I was.
