Download or read book Win It Or Wear It written by Joyce Standridge and published by . This book was released on 2008-11-01 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Win It or Wear It is a headlong rush into the wild world of sprint cars, the pinnacle of racing on America's dirt tracks. Standridge profiles the sport, mid-20th century to present, illustrating it with hundreds of captivating images from drivers¿ personal files and many of racing¿s foremost photographers. The soul of Win It or Wear It, however, is in the intimate and heartfelt interviews with some of the most colorful and legendary characters ever to wheel a sprinter. From 82-year-old Hooker Hood to 28-year-old Daryn Pittman, a fascinating spectrum of drivers share memories of personal and public triumph and disappointment. Legendary stars like Bobby Allen and Rick Ferkel share space with Saturday Night aces Lenard McCarl and Mares Stellfox, the accomplished female for whom sprint cars were the destination instead of a stepping stone. Other captivating drivers profiled include Shane Carson, Richard ¿The Gas Man¿ Griffin, Johnny Herrera, Skip Jackson, Bubby Jones, Lealand McSpadden, Curt Michael, Lynn Paxton, Jimmy Sills, Danny Smith and Gary Wright, among others.Standridge approaches the book with unusually deep knowledge and enthusiasm. She has been on the Election Committee of the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame since its inception and she has written extensively for the open wheel media. Her courtship with husband Rick, an active and highly respected racer, was spent in a garage rebuilding a sprint car. Sprint Car Hall of Fame member Dick ¿Dr. Dirt¿ Berggren has written the foreword.

Together the essays demonstrate that sports are deeply woven into the fabric of American culture--a tapestry of society with all its heroism and triumph, failures and flaws.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many have called him the greatest dirt-track Sprint car driver of all time. This exciting biography of Tommy Hinnershitz, by veteran writer Gary Ludwig, is a superb account of the life and times of this racecar driver who became an auto-racing legend. This beautifully printed hardcover book is a fascinating history of the Sprint car, telling how it evolved, beginning during the first few years of the 1900s, to become the true American racecar. Racing and winning on the dusty dirt horse tracks at state and county fairs across America earned Hinnershitz a chance to race in the Indianapolis 500. On the dirt he was there at the beginning, one of a handful of daredevil athletes, the champions who invented the broad slide; going in low and coming off high, or vice versa. After leading the way, setting the pace, and developing the style, Hinnershitz set himself apart from all the others; he went in high and stayed there. This history of his life and amazing career includes over 20 pages of photographs and his complete race-by-race career statistics. Hinnershitz was inducted into the Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame and the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame. This first edition book is already becoming a treasured collector's item for thousands of Hinnershitz's fans.

Download or read book The Wildest Ride written by Joe Menzer and published by Simon & Schuster. This book was released on 2002-06-04 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Wildest Ride, Joe Menzer gives us a timely, comprehensive look at the dramatic, rollicking history of stock-car racing in America, exploring both its inauspicious bootlegging beginnings and the billion-dollar industry that it has become. Menzer straps the reader into the driver's seat for a run through NASCAR's history, revealing the sport's remarkable rise from rogue outfit to corporate darling. Menzer also profiles the many superstar drivers who have dominated the sport, men as unpredictable as they are fearless, including "The Intimidator," Dale Earnhardt, whose ferocious driving made him NASCAR's signature personality -- and whose tragic death at the 2001 Daytona 500 was mourned by millions. Menzer expertly maneuvers through the tight corners and wide-open straightaways of NASCAR's history, examining the circuit's attempt to distance itself from its "redneck racin'" past without compromising its country roots. Simultaneously rowdy and insightful, The Wildest Ride is a thorough and unfailingly honest account of NASCAR's amazing rise to prominence and a sweeping account of a uniquely American phenomenon.

Book excerpt: One of the most evocative eras in the history of American motorsport was the golden age of dirt-track racing, when hairy-knuckled drivers duked it out in open-wheel racers on half-mile ovals around the country. This photographic history spans the classic era from 1946 to 1970, featuring vintage photography of the Champ and Sprint cars that were driven by men like A.J. Foyt, Parnelli Jones, Roger Ward and Bobby Unser for very little monetary reward. The technologies of the most successful and unusual cars are discussed as are specific races, circuits and some of the more colorful personalities of the period. Midget and track roadsters are also featured, along with period color photography.

Download or read book American Auto Racing written by J.A. Martin and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-07-15 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As soon as there were automobiles, there was racing. The first recorded race, an over road event from Paris to Rouen, France, was organized by the French newspaper Le Petit Journal in 1894. Seeing an opportunity for a similar event, Hermann H. Kohlsaat--publisher of the Chicago Times-Herald--sponsored what was hailed as the "Race of the Century," a 54-mile race from Chicago's Jackson Park to Evanston, Illinois, and back. Frank Duryea won in a time of 10 hours and 23 minutes, of which 7 hours and 53 minutes were actually spent on the road. Race cars and competition have progressed continuously since that time, and today's 200 mph races bear little resemblance to the event Duryea won. This work traces American auto racing through the 20th century, covering its significant milestones, developments and personalities. Subjects included are: Bill Elliott, dirt track racing, board track racing, Henry Ford, Grand Prix races, Dale Earnhardt, the Vanderbilt Cup, Bill France, Gordon Bennett, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the Mercer, the Stutz, Duesenberg, Frank Lockhart, drag racing, the Trans Am, Paul Newman, vintage racing, land speed records, Al Unser, Wilbur Shaw, the Corvette, the Cobra, Richard Petty, NASCAR, Can Am, Mickey Thompson, Roger Penske, Mario Andretti, Jeff Gordon, and Formula One. Through interviews with participants and track records, this text shows where, when and how racing changed. It describes the growth of each different form of auto racing as well as the people and technologies that made it ever faster.
