Along for the Ride—A
Collection of Stories from the Fast and Furious World of
Stock Car Racing
By Larry Woody
In his own
words, Larry Woody, who has covered racing for over 30
years, will give readers never before seen quips, tales
and anecdotes about some of the most famous names in
racing. Highlights include the time Richard Petty almost
bought a race track, why Darrell Waltrip once wanted to
punch out some race fans, or the night that repo wrecker
driver-turned-NASCAR star Bobby Hamilton was attacked by
the owner of a car he was trying to tow away. What
prominent driver was the biggest pain to deal with? What
was the "afterlife" experience that NASCAR VP Jim Hunter
says changed his life? How was NASCAR history made at
Daytona's Boot Hill Saloon? Why did Eddie Gossage (Texas
Motor Speedway president) get fired as a sports writer
during his college days? Racing fans will enjoy these
stories and many more in Along for the Ride.
