NASCAR Chronicle

A hard-core history of NASCAR, from early pre-NASCAR days through modern day racing. This book is structured by year, with complete timelines and highlights of each season, often accompanied by photographs. If you are a new NASCAR fan but lack a background in the history of the sport, then this is a "must have" book for you. Once you learn the history of this sport, you will have a greater appreciation for NASCAR and today's drivers.

A SMALL BOOK WITH LOADS OF INFORMATION

I got this today as a gift from my nephew in TX. I have read it with the exception the 2 pages of words only which are before each decade without putting it down. I'll read them tomorrow. It begins with a page of Before NASCAR and then goes yearly from 1947 through 2004. The page devoted to the each year has more information then some wordy books. The pictures are fabulous. I will definitely give this to my friends who like NASCAR in place of some I have given in the past. It is well worth the money spent. Enjoy!

One solid piece of work.

I never buy NASCAR books. Ever. Generally they are cheap, poorly written and focus on one or two drivers (can you say Dale Jr? I knew you could). How much fun is that? And please tell me why I'd want to pay for that? Well, I happened to cruise the bargain bin at the local superchain bookstore, and this happened to catch my eye. I did say I never bought the books, to be sure, but I'm pretty regular about flipping through them to see if just maybe I want it. This one's a keeper, to be sure. This book covers everything from the early (EARLY) days of NASCAR to the 2003 season. Plenty of pictures, good sidebar features, season highlights, and in the back year-by-year (and race-by-race, I may add) stats. Awesome. If you enjoy NASCAR, this book is for you. Period. Go Rusty!

Gotcha Good!

I like a little substance with my puffery, and this is it. Easy to flip through, deep if you've got the time. Among the best year-by-year Nascar-in-a-nutshell books out there.

Everything I Wanted to Know About NASCAR.

More than a collection of frilly pictures and personality profiles, NASCAR Chronicle tells the stories behind the men and the machines. An easy read, and lots of fun.
