This is the first work to go beyond the popular myths of stock car
racing to fully examine the sport's true history. NASCAR Nation: A
History of Stock Car Racing in the United States details the
ongoing saga of this quintessentially American pastime. Looking at
the drivers, events, and teams, it positions NASCAR racing within
larger social, economic, and cultural trends in an attempt to
address the sport's phenomenal growth and popularity. This
chronological examination of the evolution of stock car racing is
the first history to go beyond the widely held myth that it was
"invented" by Prohibition-era moonshiners. The book traces stock
car racing history from its beginnings, to the formation of The
National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) in 1948,
through today. Of course, readers will meet the sport's many
colorful personalities, including the Earnhardts, Richard Petty,
Jeff Gordon (who has raked in more than $70 million in career
winnings), "Fireball" Roberts, Darrell Waltrip, Daytona pioneer
Bill France, and women drivers like Janet Guthrie, Louise Smith,
and Jennifer Jo Cobb. While the focus is on NASCAR, the book also
examines other prominent stock car racing organizations to round
out its comprehensive portrait.
