Engines roared at Charlotte Motor Speedway for the first time in
1960, and the track has been home to some of NASCAR s greatest
races and most honored drivers ever since. Despite early
challenges, Bruton Smith and Humpy Wheeler took charge in 1975, and
together sculpted one of the most famous race tracks in America as
host of the Coca-Cola 600 and the Sprint All-Star Race. In 1992,
the track became the first modern speedway to host night racing and
thousands of race fans watched their favorite drivers swap paint
under the North Carolina night sky. Get in the groove with racing
journalist Deb Williams as she traces the history of the Charlotte
Motor Speedway, with plenty of pit-stops along the way.
From the former NASCAR champion and current Fox Sports announcer,
an intimate account of one of the most dramatic and tragic days in
the history of NASCAR: the 2001 Daytona 500--the day that racing
legend Dale Earnhardt, Sr. died. In Sundays Will Never Be the Same,
former NASCAR champion and current FOX Sports racing analyst
Darrell Waltrip provides an intimate account of one of the most
dramatic and tragic days in the history of NASCAR: the 2001 Daytona
500--the day that racing legend Dale Earnhardt Sr. died. The sudden
death of Earnhardt on the final lap of the 2001 Daytona 500 was a
traumatic loss for the entire NASCAR family, and few were affected
more deeply than Darrell Waltrip. During the course of their
tumultuous thirty-year association, Dale and Darrell had been
friends, then "frenemies," and finally friends again. Darrell takes
us through the fascinating history of racing in Daytona, offering
glimpses of some of the sport's most colorful characters. He
recounts the highs and lows of his relationship with Earnhardt
through the twin arcs of their overlapping careers, and concludes
with a heart-wrenching insider account of that pivotal weekend in
Daytona.
