Not just for Motorheads!
This is a fascinating look inside one Nascar season which will appeal to all sports fans, not just racing fanatics. The season begins with the Daytona 500 and Dale Earnhardt's tragic death and concentrates on the fortunes of the Roush Racing team drivers, namely Mark Martin, Matt Kenseth, Jeff Burton and rookie Kurt Busch.The writing is fast-paced, exciting and I found myself turning the pages to see who won a race even though I already knew the outcome! Reading this book should make anyone who has ever said Nascar drivers are not athletes realize exactly what these guys go through physically and mentally during the course of a race and what it takes to be a champion.An excellent book,highly recommended.

The BEST Book Ever Written on NASCAR
As someone who is fortunate enough to be involved in the behind the scenes activities of stock car racing, I can tell you without hesitation that this is by far the best look into the inner workings of not only Roush Racing but of the entire sport of NASCAR. Miller has written an informative, exciting book about one of the most fascinating seasons our sport has ever known. Miller was there when Earnhardt tragically died at Daytona and the controversy that followed. He was there when Kurt Busch, now a star in the sport, got his big break. He shared victories with Jeff Burton and anguished through the tough times with Mark Martin and Matt Kenseth. He witnessed first hand the trials and tribulations of Kevin Harvick. And he got to fly in a vintage WWII plane with Jack Roush. In other words, G. Wayne Miller was there and he takes you with him on an amazing journey over the 2001 season that you will long remember.'Men and Speed' examines the true personalities of those obsessed with speed from one of the most interesting, entertaining, investigative writers I've ever had the pleasure to read. I highly recommend it to every fan of Roush Racing, NASCAR and especially to those who are only now discovering one of the most popular sports in America today. Buy this book!!! You won't be disappointed.

A superb insight into NASCAR...
This book gives the reader a wonderful glimpse inside the 2001 NASCAR season as seen from the eyes of the drivers of Roush Racing. This particular season can be seen as the breakout year in which NASCAR gained much prominence for the following reasons: 1) the death of Dale Earnhardt 2) the intense media scrutiny regarding safety 3) the heightened public awareness and growing fan base 4) the relative under-performance of many racing teams.This book will give you the inside story on all of these events and more. Highly recommended for the NASCAR fan and casual observer alike!
