The NASCAR races formally began at legendary Daytona Beach thanks to Big Bill France, a visionary driver and mechanic, and continues today with a slew of dynamic young stars, including such crowd-pleasers as Dale Earnhardt and Jeff Gordon. 'The Encyclopedia of Stock Car Racing' puts the whole of this automobile-age-history at your fingertips in one comprehensive, easy-to-use volume." 176 pages.
