Coach Without a Whistle

by Wayne DeLoriea

Author, Inventor, Entrepreneur, Master Fitness Instructor, Motivational Speaker and Christian Counselor, Wayne DeLoriea is also one of the more successful coaches in NASCAR. "Coach" brings firsthand knowledge of what it is to put championship teams together. Coach has had a diverse career, starting with his celebrated work with severely and profoundly handicapped children, and teens in trouble with the law. After 11 years of dedicated service he took a dramatic turn, co-purchased a gym and became a personal trainer and coach. After being promoted to Master Fitness Trainer, he was approached by a NASCAR pit crew and was asked for training advice, and ultimately, pit crew coaching. After 67 trips to Victory Lane and 2 Pit Crew Championships, Coach DeLoriea has demonstrated a propensity to win.

Released in spring 2009, Coach Without A Whistle presents a spiritual, psychological, and physical approach to effective management by first teaching how to manage oneself. By offering a low-key, high-response method, DeLoriea's book instructs on how to get the most out of oneself and others, a process equally relevant to success as a corporate manager, or a coach, parent, friend, or spouse.

Along for the Ride—A Collection of Stories from the Fast and Furious World of Stock Car Racing

By Larry Woody

In his own words, Larry Woody, who has covered racing for over 30 years, will give readers never before seen quips, tales and anecdotes about some of the most famous names in racing. Highlights include the time Richard Petty almost bought a race track, why Darrell Waltrip once wanted to punch out some race fans, or the night that repo wrecker driver-turned-NASCAR star Bobby Hamilton was attacked by the owner of a car he was trying to tow away. What prominent driver was the biggest pain to deal with? What was the "afterlife" experience that NASCAR VP Jim Hunter says changed his life? How was NASCAR history made at Daytona's Boot Hill Saloon? Why did Eddie Gossage (Texas Motor Speedway president) get fired as a sports writer during his college days? Racing fans will enjoy these stories and many more in Along for the Ride.
