Customer Reviews

Any stat you're looking for!

This book is a must have for any Nascar fan, particularly if you're a number nut like me. The top 50 in points for every season since '49, race winners also since '49 and every spot in every race since '72. That's just for starters. Too much to write here. Great book, I'll be ordering the '00 edition as well.

A must-have book for any NASCAR fan

The Unauthorized NASCAR Fan Guide '99 is a great resource for any NASCAR fan. This book contains enough information and statistics to keep even the die-hard fans happy. The history of NASCAR is separated into logical periods, and it's a real joy to read about how the crowds grew, corporate America joined, and the drivers slowly turned from moonshine runners to product spokesmen.If you're a long-time fan, this book will provide you with more than enough information to challenge anyone to a NASCAR trivia bet. If you're a new fan of stock car racing, chapter 21, How to Watch a NASCAR Race, will be well worth the price of the book.The Unauthorized NASCAR Fan Guide '99 is a must-have book for any NASCAR fan. For less than twenty bucks, this book should be on every fan's bookshelf.
