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.

Pocono: NASCAR's
Northern Invasion
by Joe Miegoc
Author Joe
Miegoc, former sports editor at the Pocono Record, tells the real
story of Pocono Raceway – the role the track played in extending
NASCAR’s reach above the Mason-Dixon Line and conversely, the role
NASCAR played in saving Pocono.
This is the track where
Janet Guthrie became the first woman to drive in a 500-mile Indy Car
race, where Tim Richmond flashed onto the stock car scene, and where
Bobby Allison’s career ended on a Father’s Day afternoon.
Pocono: NASCAR's Northern Invasion includes interviews with
major NASCAR and Indy Car players of the time, Richard Petty, David
Pearson, Darrell Waltrip, Bobby Allison, Rusty Wallace, A.J. Foyt,
Janet Guthrie, Bill Elliott, and Geoff Bodine among others.

Pocono Raceway
by Gene A. Card
Gene A. Card has
assembled a collection of photographs from various sources,
including the Pocono Raceway’s archives, to produce a pictorial
history chronicling the raceway.
The framework for the
creation of Pocono Raceway began in the late 1950s, when a group of
investors formed Racing Incorporated. In 1962, a spinach farm near
Long Pond, Pennsylvania, was chosen as the site for the
multi-faceted racing complex. Construction on the track began in
1965, but progress moved very slowly. The three-quarter-mile oval
portion of the facility was completed in 1968, but it was not until
1971 that the two-and-a-half-mile super speedway was ready for
competition.
From its humble beginnings, Pocono Raceway has
grown to attract over 100,000 spectators to both of its NASCAR
events each year.
Soft cover, 128 pages, 200 black and white
photographs.
