About the Book
The best of the best from the world of NASCAR.
You can have the fastest car, the best engine, the smartest crew chief, but at the end of the day, it's the person behind the wheel who makes the difference.
From the Foreword by Richard Petty
In this ultimate tribute to the high-stakes world of NASCAR, seasoned motorsports journalist Andrew Clarke takes us on an exhilarating ride through the backstories of 20 car racing superstars – plus a few bonus icons. Featuring titans such as Richard Petty, Dale Earnhardt, Jimmie Johnson, Bill Elliott, Ned Jarrett, and Red Byron, along with modern-day immortals Joey Logano, Kyle Busch, and Kyle Larson. This must-read for NASCAR fans is also the story of how the sport grew out of the red clay of the South and into a national, then global phenomenon.

About the Author
AUTHOR LIVES IN MELBOURNE, VICTORIA. Andrew Clarke is a lifelong music fan. From his early days embracing The Sweet and Kiss, his interests took a sharp turn with the Sex Pistols, and he’s never stopped craving music with meaning. He managed a band in the 1990s that he still believes should have become megastars; instead, they all learned about the harsh realities of the industry. Andrew lives in Melbourne, Australia, with his two now-adult children, who share his musical fascination and obsession to varying degrees, and a vinyl collection that continues to expand.
