"Go to the Races, read the book first!" according to Boots O'Rourke. I bought this book because my son is a fan of NASCAR, of which I knew nothing until I bought the book.It is very interesting and informative.The information is also of the type you don't realize you need. For instance, there are many tips on going to an actual race--from buying tickets (buy early but not infield) to sitting in the stands (bring sunscreen and a cushion and no umbrellas)to bothering the racers (how to do it).We enjoyed the book and it added to our enjoyment of the big weekend at Watkins Glen.BootsO'Rourke. "Good intro for the NASCAR novice" according to Steve L. I wanted to learn about NASCAR and knew nothing about it and this book did a good job of introducing it to me. My one complaint is it doesn't talk enough about what's going on in the actual races, and I still feel a little lost about what exactly is happening on the track, how exactly the race works, and what specific strategies the drivers are using. A little more on the actual racing and this book would've been perfect. But it's still an excellent intro if you're looking to learn about the sport.. Very helpful book NASCAR For Dummies (For Dummies (Sports & Hobbies))Contains everything NASCAR fans needs to know and then some!Recommend to all NASCAR addicts!
In typical Dummies style, NASCAR for Dummies is filled with fun stuff such as lists of the 10 greatest drivers of all time, the 10 can't-miss races, and 10 future stars. Winston Cup Series driver Mark Martin is in the driver's seat, providing a speedy tour through America's fastest-growing sport. There's even good, practical advice about attending races (secure lodging well in advance, decide between infield and grandstand tickets, etc.) and pointers on how to best appreciate the televised races. --Sun
