Megan G, Bookseller
A great coffee table book full of amazing pictures and history for your NASCAR-loving friends. I enjoyed going through the book and appreciated the organization by era.
I'm a huge sports nerd and love anything that will teach me something new. Learning about Alexis Leras was incredible and all she did for the male-dominated sport.
The way the book showcases individuals along with the sport was well done.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.
