"The Chrysler engineers went through every combination that was
possible. Whether it was different springs, different shocks,
different sway bars, different weights.They had a book, it must
have been about a two-by-three foot book It was a heck of an
engineering force."
-Richard Petty
Seven-time NASCAR champion
Winner of 200 Grand National/Winston Cup races
Across decades of thrilling competition, many of NASCAR's
greatest drivers-from Marvin Panch to Jim Paschal, Richard Petty to
Buddy Baker, Bill Elliott to Ward Burton, Ryan Newman to Kasey
Kahne-have thundered around America's legendary racetracks at the
wheel of Chrysler Corporation's Dodge and Plymouth stock cars.
Power, innovation, and design have characterized these remarkable
vehicles, and NASCAR's record books have been written in the wake
of their no-holds-barred competition.
Now, the full story of Chrysler's conquest of stock car racing
is told in "TOP SPEED: Dodge and Plymouth Stock Car Racing."
Written by award-winning motorsports journalist Frank Moriarty,
this book begins with the corporation's first sales and earliest
laps, then marches through the years, arriving in the present-day
world of the NASCAR "Car of Tomorrow."
Like Moriarty's best-selling "SUNDAY DRIVERS: NASCAR Winston
Cup Stock Car Racing" and the acclaimed "SUPERCARS: The Story of
the Dodge Charger Daytona and Plymouth SuperBird," this new book
introduces you to all the machines that have made Chrysler's racing
efforts so successful. But equally important are the men behind the
wheel, and you'll meet them all-including a special section
containing exclusive conversations with Richard Petty, Buddy Baker,
Pete Hamilton, and the legendary crew chief Harry Hyde.
