About this title

From the Inside Flap:

In the latter half of the nineties, NASCAR auto racing took the fast track from a regional passion of hardcore fans to the pinnacle of mainstream sports popularity. Today the sport boasts nearly 80 million devotees worldwide and continues to attract thousands more each year. Nearly two hundred thousand fans take up residence at the featured track each week with two objectives in mind: to cheer their favorite drivers to victory and—more importantly—to have fun. For the Love of NASCAR captures both the passion and the spirit of fun that defines the sport. This colorful and lyrical tribute to NASCAR highlights the drivers who ushered the sport into the mainstream, today’s biggest superstars, the storied racetracks, and the most loyal fans in all of sports. This fun collection of illustrations by renowned artist Mark Anderson and amusing verses by longtime NASCAR writer Michael Fresina provides the perfect vehicle to introduce new generations of fans to the joys of auto racing. Each letter of the alphabet showcases a NASCAR icon, from Daytona’s famed track to the Earnhardt, Labonte, and Petty families, to racing’s fantastic fans, and on to victory lane. Other names like Jeff Gordon, Matt Kenseth, Mark Martin, Tony Stewart, and many more are brought to life on these colorful pages, providing a fun, humorous, and educational spin around the track for all ages.
