Tycoons, Scorchers, and Outlaws: The Class War That Shaped American Auto Racing

by Timothy Messer-Kruse

Tycoons, Scorchers, and Outlaws charts how auto racing was shaped by class tensions between the millionaires who invented it, the public who resented their seizure of the public roads, and the working class drivers who viewed the sport as a vocation, not a leisured pursuit.
