Not just for Race Fans
I bought this book as a gift and happened to start glancing through it and couldn't stop! The pictures are great and this is a book about remarkable women who happen to be involved in racing. This is not just for race fans, this book is for anyone who loves to read about remarkable and interesting people. These are wonderfully written profiles and the author lets the women tell the story.
Poor Writting
The content is poor, and the writting is amature at best. So even though the writter understands the sport, it isnt presented very well. I was very dissopointed, yet one more poor attempt at taking a great subject, and killing it with poor writting. I would not recomend this book.
Behind the scenes - A great overview!
I've been a NASCAR fan for years and know there are many other women like me who will enjoy reading this book about the important roles women now play in the racing world. And, not just as driver's wives. However, the insight into the lifestyles of those married to drivers is fascinating. From Katie Kenseth to Stevie Waltrip the old guard and the new "young guns" of the sport are all represented. The family photos included are a great punctuation in each of the stories of these women who really opened up to the author about intimate family details. If your're already a racing fan you are definitely gonna love it, and if you aren't, you will be after reading this book. It's not just about the guys anymore - even at NASCAR!
