The authors show the evolution of the vehicles--from modified family sedans to 700-horsepower race-built behemoths, all the way through the "Next Gen" cars that debuted in 2022--and celebrate the drivers who have piloted them around tracks like Daytona, Talladega, Darlington, Las Vegas, and more--legendary heroes with names including Flock, Weatherly, Petty, Allison, Yarborough, Earnhardt, Waltrip, Gordon, Stewart, Johnson, Busch, all battling wheel to wheel, week after week, across the United States.

This beautifully designed and extensively illustrated book provides the ultimate history of the legendary series, celebrating the drivers, crew chiefs, pit crews, owners, and tracks, from the earliest days on Florida's beaches right through to today's superspeedways, short tracks, and road courses. Compiled by authors with a passion for motorsport, NASCAR 75 Years is a volume no fan can be without.
