ANGEL in BLACK – Remembering
Dale Earnhardt Sr.


By Tom Gillispie

A lot of books have been written about the Intimidator, but Tom Gillispie’s new one takes a different approach. It is an informal read with a small number of black and white and color photographs.

It is based on other people’s memories and observations. Some are funny, such as Buddy Baker’s quip that Dale could give an aspirin a headache. Some are poignant, such as tales of Dale’s special relationship with children who were hurting.

Gillispie is a veteran racing journalist.

302 pages, soft cover, limited photography

MIRACLE: Bobby Allison and the Saga of the Alabama Gang

by Peter Golenbock

This new book chronicles the great success and injuries to brothers Bobby and Donnie Allison, followed by the tragic deaths of Bobby's two sons Clifford and Davey. On top of that Bobby and Judy divorced under the pressure of all that pain. But then -- miraculously -- at the end they found each other again and remarried, and Bobby's mental faculties returned. It's an amazing story, and when you read about it from Bobby and Judy's perspective, as well as that of the rest of the Alabama gang and their families, well, you can never say that miracles don't happen. In this book, we learn a lot more about not only Bobby, Donnie, brother Eddie, Davey, Clifford, Neil Bonnett, and Red Farmer, but a lifetime's worth of crew chiefs, car owners, and NASCAR officials, as well as such competitors as Junior Johnson, Darrell Waltrip, Buddy Baker, and Dale Earnhardt.

Donnie Allison: As I Recall...

by Donnie Allison with Jimmy Creed

Donnie Allison was always the "other" brother of the famous NASCAR racing duo.

Overshadowed by Bobby, Donnie often did not get his due for being an outstanding racer in his own right.

Many stories make the rounds about Donnie Allison and often when they are re-told, the circumstances aren’t related the way Donnie recalls them. That’s why he wanted to do a book. "I’ve got lots of stories to tell, and I want to tell them the way I remember them," Donnie says. Now he’s done just that.

Hard cover, 192 pages, 8-page photo insert

Bobby Allison–A Racer's Racer

By Bobby Allison with Tim Packman

Bobby Allison, one of NASCAR's 50 greatest drivers, the 1983 Winston Cup Series champion and tied (so they say) for third on the all-time win list at 84 victories, is a true legend of the sport. Bobby is a self-made legend--not much ever was handed to him that he didn't earn through talent and determination.

This book is a collection of his favorite stories and happenings that occurred during his illustrious career. And, the best part about all these stories is they are all told in his own words. When Bobby Allison tells a story, people stop and listen. If you're looking for a smile or laugh from a true racing legend, then this book is for you.

Includes a companion audio CD of Allison interviews and great moments from his career.
