Nascar (DK Eyewitness Books)
Gr. 5--8. Richard Petty, Buddy Baker, Dale Ernhardt: Millions of NASCAR fans know their names. In fact, 17 of the top 20 highest-attended sporting events in the U.S. are NASCAR races. That's just one of the interesting facts to be found in this loaded book in the Eyewitness NASCAR Library Collection. In typical DK style, readers will be treated to a colorful spectacle of captioned photos, some with additional call-out captions, as well as graphs, and cutaways that show and tell about NASCAR--from racing history, car construction, and driving gear to the meaning of flag colors, track layouts, and race-day routine. A superstar who's who, a section of common questions (and answers), and an extensive glossary round out a thorough, first-rate introduction to a hugely popular sport. Guaranteed to please both the simply curious and the avid fan.Stephanie ZvirinCopyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved
