The American Stock Car

Product description

Arranged chronologically in five chapters that cover the 1940s to 2000, this photohistory explains and illustrates how rule changes and governing regulations have molded the evolution of stock cars for more than a half-century from the Grand National to the NASCAR era. From the truly “stock” street set-ups that hit the sands of Daytona in the postwar years to the high-tech chassis of Grand National racing, the “aero wars” of the late 1960s and early 1970s and modern shop-built, stock-in-name-only racers, readers witness an parade of the sports greatest builders, drivers, tracks and automobiles.
