  • 50 Years of NASCAR Captures All That Has Made Bill France’S Dream Into a Firm, Big-Money Reality
    < mill NASCAR OF NASCAR ■ TP'S FAST, ITS FURIOUS, IT'S SPINE- I tingling, jump-out-of-youn-seat action, a sport created by a fan for the fans, it’s all part of the American dream. Conceived in a hotel room in Daytona, Florida, in 1948, NASCAR is now America’s fastest-growing sport and is fast becoming one of America’s most-watched sports. As crowds flock to see state-of-the-art, 700-horsepower cars powering their way around high-banked ovals, outmaneuvering, outpacing and outthinking each other, NASCAR has passed the half-century mark. 50 Years of NASCAR captures all that has made Bill France’s dream into a firm, big-money reality. It traces the history and the development of the sport through the faces behind the scene who have made the sport such a success and the personalities behind the helmets—the stars that the crowds flock to see. There is also a comprehensive statistics section featuring the results of the Winston Cup series and the all-time leaders in NASCAR’S driving history plus a chronology capturing the highlights of the sport. Packed throughout with dramatic color illustrations, each page is an action-packed celebration of all that has made the sport what it is today. Whether you are a die-hard fan or just an armchair follower of the sport, 50 Years of NASCAR is a must-have addition to the bookshelf of anyone with an interest in the sport. $29.95 USA/ $44.95 CAN THIS IS A CARLTON BOOK ISBN 1 85868 874 4 Copyright © Carlton Books Limited 1998 Project Editor: Chris Hawkes First published 1998 Project Art Editor: Zoe Maggs Reprinted with corrections 1999, 2000 Picture Research: Catherine Costelloe 10 9876 5 4321 Production: Sarah Corteel Design: Graham Curd, Steve Wilson All rights reserved.

  • Kelley Earnhardt Drive Chapte
    ONE MY STARTING POSITION Any racing fan knows that starting position matters. Where a car is when the green flag waves can have a huge impact on the out- come of the race. The pole position— the inside of the front row— is most desirable and is usually awarded to the car and driver with the best qualifying time for each race. Among the remaining positions, some are considered better than others. A few are viewed as basi- cally unwinnable, depending on the track. Over the course of a race, all sorts of developments can arise, and a car that holds the lead for almost an entire race can lose at the last minute. That fast- paced unpredictability is part of what makes our sport exciting. What’s true at the racetrack is also true about life: where and how we start matters. Our early days don’t have to dictate the rest of our lives, but they do influence and determine much about the way we think and feel, the way we relate to others, the way we approach and solve problems, our work ethic, our likes and dislikes, and our priorities. To use a racing analogy, I could say I got the green flag in Concord, North Carolina, on August 28, 1972. That’s the day I was 3 DDrive_INT.inddrive_INT.indd 3 99/30/20/30/20 44:00:00 PMPM DRIVE born to a young, ambitious amateur racecar driver named Dale Earnhardt and his wife, Brenda.
