Synopsis

A personal look at NASCAR racing chronicles the story of the men who risked and lost their lives competing in the sport, including such legends as Curtis Turner and the Allison brothers

Review

In The Last Lap, the author of American Zoom chronicles the lives of NASCAR legends who pushed their racing cars--and sometimes their personal lives--to the limit. With danger lurking at each turn, the drivers form a colorful cast in an ever-traveling sideshow that has become the biggest spectator sport in the world. Golenbock interviews past and present racers, crew members, and families in this celebratory paean to the fast lane in American sports.
