Stock car racing is not only the most popular sport in the country, but
it's also among the most dangerous, as well. Traveling at speeds of over
200 miles per hour, drivers risk their lives every time they take the
wheel. To be competitive, drivers must feel invincible. The best of them
did, and lived life--on the racetrack--to the fullest. Their zest for
life and for racing is celebrated in this powerful book.
In The Last Lap, updated edition, best-selling author Peter Golenbock
talks to racers past and present, crewmembers, and families of the
legendary drivers who have passed on give us behind-the-scenes stories
of NASCAR's unique heroes. Among those sharing their stories are racing
legends David Pearson, Buddy Baker, Tim Flock, Marvin Panch, the
families of the late Curtis Turner, the Myers brothers, Tiny Lund, Bobby
Isaac, Alan Kulwicki, and Davey and Clifford Allison.
