Dirt Tracks to Glory:
The Early Days
of Stock Car Racing As Told by the Participants
by Sylvia
Wilkinson
More
than forty years ago, Sylvia Wilkinson took her note pad, a tape
recorder and an open mind to the dirt bull rings and backwoods of
garages in the American South in the hopes of capturing the
reflections of the people who made NASCAR stock car racing happen.
What she encountered were the folksy origins, colorful characters
and rough beginnings of today's billion-dollar sport.
In
this all-new, beautifully designed and illustrated edition of
Dirt Tracks to Glory we return to the very personal and often
hilarious inside stories of sharp-witted people who became legends
in the early days of NASCAR. Bill France Sr, Humpy Wheeler, Curtis
Turner, "Little Joe" Weatherly, Glenn "Fireball" Roberts, the Flock
Brothers, Banjo Matthews, Smokey Yunick and a host of others emerge
from these pages with their personal reflections and wry commentary
on the way it was in the days of "haulin' shine", bangin' fenders
and out-smartin' the other hot-shoes on Saturday nights.
Author
Wilkinson says: "This book was told to me by and about the people
who went with stock car racing from its beginnings...It is not an
encyclopedia of stock car racing biographies, but a series of
individual remembrances and perspectives of one special revelation
of the American dream - from Dirt tracks to Glory!"
Hard
cover with dust jacket, 208 pages, 100+ B&W photos.
