Author: Don Hunter
ISBN: 9780760304440
Publisher: Motorbooks Intl
Published: 1997
Binding: Hardcover
Language: English
Edition: First Edition
Number of Pages: 160
Publisher Description: Despite the incredible popularity of NASCAR stock car racing, most books on this colorful, fast-paced sport have been dull, cliched, and disappointing. American Stock Car Racers is a notable exception, as it combines the historical perspective and insight of writer Ben White (editor of Winston Cup Illustrated magazine) and the remarkable photography of Don Hunter. Their portraits of the men who have shaped the sport are enlightening and captivating.This book profiles over 40 NASCAR legends including moonshiner-turned-champion Junior Johnson, sly mechanical genius Smokey Yunick, hard-nosed yet soft-hearted champion Dale Earnhardt, and pioneer Fireball Roberts.Most books on NASCAR can't compete for fans' souvenir dollars; fans will buy a Rusty Wallace jacket rather than a hackneyed book. American Stock Car Racers is the distinct exception, combining brilliant photography with text that goes well beyond the cliches and stereotypes.
