NASCAR Information
It is no sin to admit you might not know everything there is to know about NASCAR.
Even if you are an ardent fan, camping out at the track to secure those coveted NASCAR autographs, there is still plenty of knowledge to soak up. NASCAR history is fascinating and it boasts diverse tracks and an ever-changing rule set.
If you are new to NASCAR or are a stock-car racing fan who might be anxious to cement your knowledge of the sport and new technologies, there may be a book just for you.
The always popular yellow-and-black series has published the third edition of 'NASCAR For Dummies' (Wiley Publishing, Inc.), written by popular and acclaimed driver Mark Martin.
The book offers up-to-date information on the three NASCAR national racing series, as well as the eight regional series and even one local grassroots competition. In case you did not know, NASCAR sanctions 1,500 races at over 100 tracks in the United States, Canada and Mexico.)
The book also offers detailed information on the controversial "Car of Tomorrow," or COT, a new type of vehicle that has replaced the standard car design that had been the Cup Series standard since 1981. In addition, NASCAR For Dummies covers racing strategy, the point system, and NASCAR safety requirements.
It is comprehensive, handy as a resource tool and come to think of it, not a bad thing on which to collect your NASCAR autographs either.
