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.

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.

HARD DRIVING
The Wendell Scott Story
By Brian Donovan
We're very pleased to offer this much-anticipated and highly
reviewed book, just released in August 2008.
“In this excellent biography, Donovan, a Pulitzer Prize-winning
newspaper reporter and seasoned race car driver, recounts the
overlooked life of Wendell Scott, the one-time Danville, Va.,
moonshine runner who broke the color barrier in stock-car racing in
1952 and competed for more than 20 years in a sport dominated by
Southern whites... Donovan's writing is well-paced and measured,
clearly depicting the complex atmosphere of race relations in the
segregated South. His extensive reporting, including interviews with
Scott before he died in 1990, combined with his descriptive and
enjoyable prose about racing, make this book a deeply compelling
story."

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.

MIRACLE: Bobby Allison and the Saga of the
Alabama Gang
by Peter Golenbock
This 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.
