What is it that makes a man strap himself into an automobile and
drive it hundreds of laps around a track at speeds surpassing 200
miles per hour? Critically acclaimed journalist G. Wayne Miller
decided to find out by spending a year on the NASCAR circuit with
Roush Racing's legendary owner Jack Roush and his four
title-contending Winston Cup drivers: Mark Martin, Jeff Burton,
Matt Kenseth, and Kurt Busch. Miller plumbs the allure of speed and
the exploding popularity of stock-car racing through the dramatic
2001 season, which opened with the most famous Daytona 500 in
history, when NASCAR legend Dale Earnhardt died as his car slammed
into the wall on the final turn.
Miller takes us inside the minds and behind the wheels of the
of the hottest drivers of the past two seasons, as they cope with
the thrills and the dangers along the way to the Cup. Miller also
takes us inside Roush Racing, a $125 million business, showing a
side of NASCAR that few fans ever get to see. For longtime fans and
curious newcomers alike, "Men and Speed" takes you for a wild ride
through the fastest sport in the land.
