Summary: Best Intro to NASCAR I've seen
Review: I've followed NASCAR for three years and been to more than a few races. If you're new to the sport read this book. It's got a good balance between the technical aspects of the cars (very basic but enough to understand what they're talking about) and the facts you need to know before you go to a race (practical stuff like get there early, where the best seats are at various tracks and what to look for when buying a scanner.) The book very accurately describes what it's like to attend a race, and gives you plenty of background info to add to your enjoyment of NASCAR whether you watch in person or on TV or listen on the radio.There's on interesting typo concernng the driver of the 3 car - Too bad for Terry Labonte that it isn't true!

Summary: Mark Can Do It All!
Review: Mark is an awesome driver and now he's written an awesome book! I've been a NASCAR fan for several years and this book helps answer some of the questions I've had about the sport. Mark gives info on tracks, drivers, rules and how a stock car runs. I recommend this book to all NASCAR fans, male or female, those new to the sport or those who have been following it for years. GO MARK!

Summary: The perfect book for all NASCAR fans - new and old alike!
Review: NASCAR for Dummies is definitely a "must read" for any NASCAR fan. It is the perfect book for those who are new to NASCAR... and is packed with information which even a veteran fan will appreciate. You'll find in-depth information about a variety of topics, from car tech to how qualifying works... from how points are awarded to what some of the rules and regulations are. You'll find information about all of the different NASCAR Series, how sponsorship works, how to contact your favorite driver - or even get an autograph. There's even advice and tips for attending races in person. The book is also loaded with NASCAR stats on different drivers, tracks and some of the sports history. The best part about this book is that it is not written by a bystander, rather, it is written by one of the top drivers in the sport. Mark Martin is able to provide you with a view of NASCAR which I have not seen in any other book thus far.

Review: This is a great introduction to NASCAR racing. It's written in a very conversational tone, making it a joy to read. The book is broken into five logical sections, and the chapters flow very well. For the new race fans, the book includes a nice tear-out with descriptions of the Winston Cup, Busch, and Craftsman truck series as well as all of the racing flags with their meanings. The flipside of the card has a list of many NASCAR records. If you want to get your girlfriend or wife interested in racing, this would make a nice gift.

Summary: nascar for dummies
Review: was watching the cbs pre daytona 2000 show where they interviewed Martin. seems he was in bed for a while following back surgery and my money is book was taped during this time. taped because you can hear Martin talking to you about nascar and personal stories and facts and he even repeats himself like a person does when talking to you - sorta like that. really enjoyed it - nascar for dummies or the average joe from a drivers perspective - heck my wife started reading it and she is not a racing fan. yes the book does not appeared to be edited that much. pick a topic and Martin talks about it and it goes to the printer. but where do we find such honesty today ? had some questions myself wish could ask but life is never perfect so will gladly accept this offering of a view from inside nascar.
