Description: What's your greatest NASCAR memory? Bob McCullough (My Greatest Day in Baseball) posed that question to 47 drivers, owners, crew chiefs, and NASCAR officials--from Bobby Allison to Smokey Yunick--during the 1999 season. For Jeff Gordon, the answer was recent history: winning the 1999 Daytona 500 on Valentine's Day. "King" Richard Petty had to reach a bit farther back--to the 1984 win at the Firecracker 400 with then-President Reagan watching in the stands. Cale Yarborough went even further back: remembering his first career victory, the 1968 Southern 500 in Darlington--just 15 miles from where he was born and raised. No matter the vintage, the stories offer up an intimate perspective on the world's fastest-growing sport. "Awesome Bill from Dawsonville" Elliott, Dale and Ned Jarrett, Benny and Phil Parsons, Bobby and Terry Labonte, Bobby and Donny Allison--all the greats of stock-car racing are here. My Greatest Day in NASCAR is essential reading for NASCAR fans. --M. Stein
 


Thumbs Down

This is the worst book I have ever read on NASCAR. It is full of inaccuracies and misspelled words. For example, oil dry is referred to as "oil drop", sprint cars are referred to as "spring cars", etc. The chapter on John Andretti's greatest day in NASCAR focuses on his Indy 500 experience. The Ralph Moody chapter is especially hard to follow as it appears that he author transcribed a taped interview without any editing. It would have been helpful if this book was edited by a knowledgeable racing writer so as not to insult racing fans with a poor attempt at what could have been a great book.

A Great Read!

This book is great! It tells of memories from great drivers. I highly recommed this book!! Five stars all the way!!
