"This book's personal impressions don't take you behind the pit wall--they take you into the stands, where the average folks watch the race. Wright combines the interests of the academic and the common race fan for an uncommon vision of NASCAR."--Scott Huler, author of "A Little Bit Sideways: One Week Inside a ""NASCAR"" Winston Cup Race Team"
