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.

Soft cover, 192 pages.

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.
