[Duane · Rating 3 out of 5]

To begin with, this book is full of amazing photos of some of the original stock cars that made NASCAR so special. Now, my opinion of the author is different. It's quite obvious that the author is very bias towards Ford. He never fails to mention a area where GM/Chrysler might have cheated, but only once, and then very quickly does he mention that Ford might have cheated on engines. I have nothing against being a fan, but when writing a book, you need to put that bias aside and write the facts. The only good part of this book is the photos which is why I gave it 3 stars. Skip reading it though.
