Description
The Legends of Nascar portrays some of the greatest drivers, tuners, and team owners of the past four decades in more than 200 lavish black and white and color photographs, from the days when the series was known as the Grand National races to the foundation and evolution of Nascar. Captured by the perceptive eye of photographer Don Hunter, the men who rose to the top of their chosen profession of racing are shown in telling moments. These stunning photographs illustrate the character and personality of the colorful cast that defined the sport. Step into the car with Junior Johnson, on the podium with Donnie Allison, and into the heat of Talladega with King Richard Petty. Forty of these top-caliber folks are portrayed in several page spreads, with Ben White's insightful profiles taking an intimate look at the life of the man behind the race face. A selection of other Nascar legends appear in more great moments, a collection of photographs bringing brief glimpses of other important faces in stock car racing. This incredible collection of photographs and essays is a one-of-a-kind book that offers a unique perspective on the rough-and-tumble men who define the most popular motorsport in America, Nascar racing.
