Undeniably Unwanted: Grand Touring and GN
East 1968-1973
by Greg Fielden
A look back at the lost five-year history of the NASCAR
Grand Touring and Grand American Circuit, which was staged from
1968-1973. It became the #2 Series of NASCAR in its inaugural season
and competed on tracks like Lakewood Speedway, Daytona International
Speedway, Charlotte Motor Speedway, Darlington Raceway, Oxford
Plains, Talladega, Holland and dozens more. But when Bill France,
Jr. took over the Presidency of NASCAR in 1972, he concentrated all
his efforts on the Winston Cup trail and left the Grand American to
fizzle away.
The Grand American Series featured mid-sized American Cars
and competed in 110-races with drivers like Tiny Lund, Bobby and
Donnie Allison, Jim Paschal, Pete Hamilton, David Pearson, Buck
Baker, Marty Robbins and newcomers like Darrell Waltrip, Harry Gant
and Richard Childress.
Tiny Lind won 10 straight races in 1970, tying Richard
Petty’s 10-race winning streak in the Grand Nationals (now called
Cup) in 1967. Lund won 41 races and three championships in the
dynamic series in just five years.
Also included in this 204-page book is a section on the
long-lost history of the Grand National East (1972-1973). All the
complete box-scores in both the Grand American Division and the
Grand National East are included. Over 200 color and black & white
photos grace this lively book tracing the origins of American auto
racing.

Short Track Shoot-Outs: Grand National
Short Track Circuit 1951-1959
by Greg Fielden
Who was the first driver to win five consecutive
Grand National Championships (called Cup today) and seven titles
altogether in NASCAR history? If you said Jimmie Johnson was the
only
driver to capture five straight titles and seven in total, you would
be incorrect. Jim Reed, of Peekskill, NY, was the first to make that
mark in Grand National cars.
In 1951, NASCAR founder and President Big Bill France had too many
requests from promoters of race tracks to stage the ultra-popular
Grand Nationals at their tracks. Big Bill had no choice but to begin
another Grand National Series on tracks measuring less than a
half-mile. Thus, the Short Track Grand National Series was born.
From 1951-1959, NASCAR sanctioned 216 short-track races for
Grand National Automobiles, and to spice things up, permitted sports
cars and foreign cars to join in the races. The short tracks
supplied the excitement of what racing was all about, lots of
passing, fender-rubbing, and electrifying close finishes.
Soft cover, 204 pages, heavily illustrated with photos and
stats.

Dirt Tracks to Glory:
The Early Days
of Stock Car Racing As Told by the Participants
by Sylvia
Wilkinson
More
than forty years ago, Sylvia Wilkinson took her note pad, a tape
recorder and an open mind to the dirt bull rings and backwoods of
garages in the American South in the hopes of capturing the
reflections of the people who made NASCAR stock car racing happen.
What she encountered were the folksy origins, colorful characters
and rough beginnings of today's billion-dollar sport.
In
this all-new, beautifully designed and illustrated edition of
Dirt Tracks to Glory we return to the very personal and often
hilarious inside stories of sharp-witted people who became legends
in the early days of NASCAR. Bill France Sr, Humpy Wheeler, Curtis
Turner, "Little Joe" Weatherly, Glenn "Fireball" Roberts, the Flock
Brothers, Banjo Matthews, Smokey Yunick and a host of others emerge
from these pages with their personal reflections and wry commentary
on the way it was in the days of "haulin' shine", bangin' fenders
and out-smartin' the other hot-shoes on Saturday nights.
Author
Wilkinson says: "This book was told to me by and about the people
who went with stock car racing from its beginnings...It is not an
encyclopedia of stock car racing biographies, but a series of
individual remembrances and perspectives of one special revelation
of the American dream - from Dirt tracks to Glory!"
Hard
cover with dust jacket, 208 pages, 100+ B&W photos.
