Nascar: The Complete History

NASCAR, The Complete History is an updated edition of Consumer Guide s NASCAR Chronicle, a comprehensive pictorial history of American stock car racing from its moonshine-running roots to today s multibillion-dollar industry. The colorful, action-packed story is told the only way it can be told: with the full cooperation of the sport s sanctioning body, the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR). The 564-page book features historic photos from NASCAR s unmatched collection, as well as rich stories about the characters, the cars, and the racetracks.

Written by racing historian Greg Fielden, Bryan Hallman, and the Auto Editors of Consumer Guide, and with a foreword by Mike Joy of FOX Sports, this is the only book of its kind sanctioned by NASCAR. Here is a sampling of what is inside the covers of NASCAR, The Complete History:
More than 1,600 photos of cars, drivers, speedways, and memorabilia.
Highlights of each season from NASCAR s inception in 1949 through the 2010 season, including annual championship points standings.
