Fixin' to Git

"You don't have to be a racing fan to appreciate great sports writing, and even folks who don't know Dale Earnhardt from Dale Evans will savor this professor's account of his unlikely enthusiasm for NASCAR. But, if you are a fan, you'll probably like this book even more. Wright dispels a number of myths and helps us to understand why stock-car racing has become America's most popular sport."--John Shelton Reed, coauthor of "1001 Things Everyone Should Know about the South"
