by John Huddy
Amazon Price: $17.16
Customer Review: What a story...one of my top picks from the non-fiction genre. Action, adventure, brutality, justice. Amazing story.
by Billy F Gibbons
Amazon Price: $19.77
Customer Review: This is a decent book. About what I expected. Gave it a 3 instead of a 4 because editing was a bit shoddy.
by Alexander Roy
Amazon Price: $17.13
Customer Review: A myriad of enthusiastic book reviews tout this book as "the best frickin' book ever" and, suffice it to say, I agree. Wholeheartedly. Thus, to avoid duplicity, I wanted to comment briefly on a less-reviewed aspect of "The Driver," one that seems to often take a back seat (pun intended) to the racing/high-speed/gumball-rallying/party-all-night theme that is the subject of innumerable other reviews: the author's attempt to answer some big questions in a car.
Clearly Mr. Roy can drive. Obviously he is a brilliant strategist. It is axiomatic that he is insane. But some of my favorite scenes in the book did not take place in the lovely M5.
Thus, for those who are thinking of buying this book and, also, in response to those who have taken the time to pontificate, often so carelessly, about Mr. Roy's life, and to judge, all too easily, his passion for racing and the actions he has taken in the exploration thereof, I humbly offer this.
To understand what makes this book so special, it is important to read and understand those passages that do not relate to the garmins, radar jammers and police outfits that otherwise make Team Polizei the wonderful and ridiculous phenomenon that it is.
Indeed, when read holistically, "The Driver" is a fast-paced journey through a world of insane cars, playboys and rally-racers just as much as it is a window into the driver's personal search for that which money can not buy. Meaning. Answers. Passion. "Cadillacs."

Customer Review: Keeping interesting reading for a beginning reader is always a challenge. Henry Ford's First Race was a winner, especially with our six year old son. The cover is now curled from repeated reading.
by Sir Jackie Stewart
Amazon Price: $18.45
Customer Review: Jackie Stewart's sense of humor and keen insights as a color commentator for Formula 1 racing have always appealed to me. But I was surprised to learn he is a fine and entertaining writer. This autobiography shares the low and high moments of a fast-paced life, from his roots in Scotland, the early days as a mechanic in a Dumbuck garage to his triumphs against immense odds to become a Formula 1 champion. I was touched by his giving back so much - improving racing safety, helping others afflicted with dyslexia and organizing events to assist noteworthy causes. His adventures on and off the track will surprise you. The book has the warm feel of an armchair adventure told by an open fire - you will be pleased to enjoy his world, and very cranky that your visit is over when you turn the last page.
by Steve Matchett
Amazon Price: $10.88
Customer Review: My appreciation for his comments during F1 racing on SpeedTV has expanded. His attention to detail, his race team experience and his humility as reveiled in this little book makes him much more than a talking head.
I recommend the book to those who watch auto racing and those who are starting their adult life, but don't have a plan.
by Neal Thompson
Amazon Price: $10.17
Customer Review: Its no surprise that while baseball/basketball/and football games are usually playing to semi-packed crowds, NASCAR is continually selling out short tracks and superspeedways that hold 160,000 people.
NASCAR is exciting. And contrary to the naysayers, it requires a lot of skill and knowledge of not only racing, but engineering, aerdoynamics, and overall car mechanics.
But where and when did NASCAR start? Neal Thompson does a great job in tracing back the early days of southern automobile racing in the 30s and 40s when the sport was led by whiskey runners who drove moonshine from the small towns of dawsonville and dahlonega down to the bigger city of Atlanta. Thompson reveals the lives of some of these drivers (Lloyd Seay, Roy Hall, Red Byron, Fonty Flock), mechanics (Red Vogt) and car owners (Raymond Parks) showing the glorious and not-so glorious moments for each of the early stars in driving.
A large part of this book focuses on the man credited with starting the organization of NASCAR: Mr. Bill France. France made his move from an okay driver to an outstanding and often times dirty promoter for the sport of racing. The book chronicles the trials France had to deal with when starting NASCAR (competition with other racing leagues, accidents at the races, financial problems).
The book also shows how some tracks got started (Atlanta Lakewood Speedway, Daytona Beach and Road Course, Charlotte Speedway, Columbus Speedway and more)
Driving with the Devil is truly fascinating. The beginning of NASCAR was fueled with competition, wild characters, and some truly great stories.
I would highly recommend this book to the NASCAR fan looking to read about the history of the sport.
by Mark Donohue, Paul Van Valkenburgh
Amazon Price: $16.47
Customer Review: If you are a fan of Mark Donohue, or a racing fan from the era of the CanAm series, I believe you will enjoy this biography. It has enlightened me to the complications and hardships in preparing and maintaining a proper race care. There is much insight into the business side off the sport as well, and demonstrates Roger Penske's determination and acuity in running a top flight team.
by Maya Angelou
Amazon Price: $11.20
Customer Review: Maya has such an impeccable method of penning and conveying her prose!! This was a wonderful installment in her biographical sequence(s). I recommend this book to ALL (those mature and aged enough to handle the sometimes-explicit subject matter) because it brings so many pieces of American history together in such a uniquely stated manner!
by David Grant
Amazon Price: $24.00
Customer Review: Gene Winfield has created some of the most memorable cars and is truly one of the great, but largely unsung, heroes of the hot rod and custom worlds. Gene was also unstoppable, winning driver, and a pioneer in drag racing. He has built more cars than anyone...and some of the most famous cars in films. If you have any interest in early drag racing, hot rod building or custom cars you need this book. This book will introduce to you to your new hero. The book is filled with amazing early pictures of the hot rods that roamed the streets and dry lakes and later ones of movie cars and gorgeous customs. His custom cars and movie cars are also found here. The story of a quiet, creative, unassuming car genius who managed to do it all and still today is wielding a torch and a paint gun is fascinating reading. Enjoy!
