Written by longtime motorsports journalists H.A. Branham and Holly Cain, NASCAR Mavericks covers the NASCAR story in chronological order, focusing on key movers and shakers—the men and women key to the sport’s evolution—often related through first-hand stories. Racing great Tony Stewart’s foreword sets the scene.

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.
