SECOND TO NONE: The History of
the
NASCAR Busch Series
by Rick
Houston
NASCAR’s Busch Series (now Nationwide) was always about racing hard
and having fun doing it.
In the two decades after it grew
out of the long-running Late Model Sportsman Series, the Busch
circuit became famous as a training ground for future Cup stars like
Jeff Gordon, Mark Martin, Bobby Labonte, and Dale Earnhardt Jr.
The series also fostered some legendary rivalries, starting with
Sam Ard and Jack Ingram in its earliest years.

NASCAR
Racers
by Ben White and Nigel
Kinrade
The NASCAR drivers featured in these pages are the drivers who make
stock car racing one of the fastest, and fastest-growing, sports
around. They come from a variety of backgrounds and experiences,
from all corners of the country.
Some of NASCAR's top racers bear an impressive racing pedigree, with
names like Earnhardt, Gordon and Johnson, names that have been part
of stock car racing history for decades. Others have worked their
way through anonymity to reach the top, possibly to begin a new line
of racing greatness. NASCAR Racers profiles former champions and
up-and-coming stars alike.
An array of colorful photographs accompany the personal and
professional stories behind the leading racers on the circuit today,
as well as a couple of veritable legends from recent years.
Statistical tables allow you to compare the on-track successes of
the different racers over the years. In words, images, and numbers,
this book puts all you need to know about your favorite drivers at
your fingertips.

THE BLOUNT REPORT
-
NASCAR’s
Most Overrated & Underrated Drivers, Cars, Teams,
and Tracks
by Terry Blount
While fans continue to debate the relative merits of their favorite
drivers, ESPN.com’s premier motor sports writer Terry Blount now
brings some needed clarity and perspective to America’s biggest
spectator sport, rating drivers, teams, cars, and tracks, and
“bluntly” lets readers know which are overrated and which are
underrated in a new book that’s bound to further the debate and stir
up more controversy.
It’s an all-fun but in-depth look at the opinionated discussions
fans have in their living rooms every weekend. Evaluating driver
skills is a whopping task, even for the most knowledgeable folks in
the sport. But Blount is one of the most qualified analysts, and
well up to the task of trying to separate fact from fiction,
reputation from reality, and equipment from talent.
Along with rating drivers, The Blount Report also rates a vast array
of the NASCAR world from speedways to races and rules to records.
It’s all up for debate. So fasten your seatbelt and enjoy…it may get
a bit bumpy along the way but it’s well worth the ride.

The Dirt Under the
Asphalt:
An Underground History of
Stock Car Racing
by Jack Flowers
Many other books have been written about NASCAR, mainly about its
drivers and other celebrities who compete in the sport of stock car
racing, but there have been very few books written or published
about the internal workings of NASCAR.
This book takes a look at NASCAR from day one to present-day and
presents the author’s perception of how NASCAR has maintained its
operation as a dictatorship since the late forties, how drugs played
a part in its rapid rise in popularity, and how it has been run by
the France family.
The Dirt under the Asphalt pulls no punches and paints no pretty
pictures. It does, however, offer the author’s insight into the most
prominent track owners and drivers who got NASCAR started and kept
it going through tough times in the fifties and sixties.
Jack Flowers covered his first stock car race when he was sixteen
and the sports editor of The Moultrie Observer (Georgia). Since
then, Flowers, now 70, has worked for 11 different daily newspapers
and auto racing trade publications that cover NASCAR. Today he still
writes weekly stories about NASCAR for Area Auto Racing News and
National Speed Sport News.

Racing the Heartland – A History of the Mississippi Valley Auto
Racing Association
by Ken Paulsen
This book is a joy.
It is the complete history – with records – of one of the lesser
known Midwest racing organizations, the MVARA (Mississippi Valley
Auto Racing Association). The group ran big cars/sprinters in eight
Midwestern states from 1946 through 1964, at times challenging the
more formidable IMCA for racing contracts.
Included are nationally known figures such as Jerry Blundy, Tom
Bigelow, Rocky Williams, and Pee Wee Wilson. There are photographs,
racing ads, stories, and race write-ups throughout. At the end is a
painstakingly researched tabulation of the record of each driver and
yearly schedules of races.
Must reading for all open wheel racing history buffs.
