This lively book tackles all the ins and outs of the sport, uncovering the hidden rules and official calls made on any given race day. Media correspondent Liz Allison, wife of the late NASCAR driver Davey Allison, takes a fun and detailed approach in explaining the official point and flag systems, regulations on cars, and how drivers make it to the start/finish line. Allison covers the less-serious side, too, offering helpful tips to female fans on travelling to and from race events, surviving an entire race weekend with kids, and recipes for throwing a great NASCAR viewing party. Readers will quickly become knowledgeable race fans with an inside edge on the sport most of their male counterparts will lack-and have a few laughs along the way.
