"T" is for teamwork ... without it you can't have the "V" as is Victory!

Vroooom! They're off. It's the Daytona 500 where hundreds of fans in the stands crane their necks to watch the racers and millions tune in to watch the excitement from their living rooms. When Kevin Harvick sped around the last lap at 180 miles an hour to cross the finish line and snatch the trophy, he wasn't really the only person who could claim credit for the victory. Behind him was an entire team of people who worked equally hard to ensure that he'd make it to Victory Lane. It's called teamwork and without teamwork he never would have made it. NASCAR, a name that is almost synonymous with racing these days, stands for the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing. Years ago it was an every man for himself sport, but now it has evolved into a sport where teamwork is essential. In this book you'll discover all kinds of interesting facts you may not know about, unless of course you are a die-hard fan. You'll learn about the history of NASCAR, haulers, team managers, car specialists of all kinds, the head coach, the pit crew ("Weekend Warriors") and a lot more! Do you know whose nickname is "Cat in the Hat?" If you don't, you might find you'll learn a lot by reading this book. You'll find history and photographs galore spread in the pages. In the back you'll find a chart with the most important NASCAR teams which included their owners, drivers and car numbers. This book is one of a dozen in the World of NASCAR series for the young fan.
