Okay, re-read the title. Need I say more? Review done.

1979. Stock Car Racing is about to leap out of the South and take the nation by storm. It all started with one race that was televised live while a large part of the USA was trapped by winter weather. After a wild race that ended in a wilder finish... the year became filled with unbelievable races, fistfights, cocky drivers filled with dangerous bravado - and suddenly men that were unknown to the country before were celebrities and there was a new national pastime.

This book very well chronicles those times along with providing inside stories of Earnhardt, Allison, Yarborough, Petty, Waltrip and many more.

A great book for a NASCAR fan or for someone who wants to know what the fuss is all about. As a NASCAR fan, this book is a great addition to my bookshelf......... or coffee table. :)
