As a fan of stock car racing, I found the inside look at what happens to those winning championships to be interesting and a learning experience. I'd recommend this for fans of any level of stock car racing.

I'd highly recommend this book for anyone wanting to gain some knowledge about what champions go through. As with his other books - which I've read - Mr. Huff has done his homework and delievers a nice package for new and old NASCAR fans alike. Wanna know what a champion's life is like, read this.

This insider's profile of NASCAR race car drivers and teams is a recommended pick for any with a prior interest in championship auto racing: it goes behind the scenes to examine the lives of the drivers, their motivations and achievements, and the emotional aspects of winning and racing. A perfect gift choice for the race car fan who wants to read about the experience.

I'm fairly new to stock car racing so this book came in handy. Everything the new or old fan needs to understand stock car racing in a better manner. I'd highly recommend this book for anyone interested in the sport.

I have been doing research on racing, I picked up this book to learn more about NASCAR and I got just what I asked for! Informatative, interesting, fun, it keeps me wanting to read more. This is a perfect reference guide for the new NASCAR fan or the "seasoned" NASCAR fan! A great look into the fastest growing sport.

I am an old, avid and very knowledgeable Terry Labonte fan, just look at my email address. This book talks about some of Terry Labonte's old past seasons, mainly two stints driving for non-bill paying car owner Billy Hagan. The photos in the book are ALL old photos of Terry in the Sunoco Oldsmobile, Billy Hagan, etc. The only photo of the Kellogg's car you will see is on the books cover. Matter of fact, one OLD photo includes a picture of the #5 car, driven by Ricky Rudd with the Tide sponsorship. See how old everything is! In several chapters and paragraphs, author Huff says the same things over and over, merely rewording or slightly adding or subtracting from earlier statements. I think he described restrictor plate engines no less than five times. The LAST chapter (Chapter 29) gives a poorly written 20-page account of the 1994-1996 seasons. The book is 308 pages long and only the last chapter talks about the book's title wording of "New Edition captures Terry Labonte's 1996 NASCAR season." Author Huff should be sued for false advertising, misleading content, you name it! This book is about 1970's and 1980's racing stories, with a look predominantly at the 1991 season with Billy Hagan. Take it from me, a die-hard Terry Labonte fan.....Do yourself a favor, DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT waste your money on this book unless you can get it for free. Perhaps the paper it is printed on can be recycled for a few pennies!

I'm a new fan and of the dozens of NASCAR books I've read, this tops the list. It is by far the best inside look at stock car racing on the market. And considering that the sport is getting squeaky clean, this may be the last time anyone can expose what really goes on. That Terry Labonte dislikes it, should be enough proof that the contents are the real deal.

While most of the book does focus on Labonte's early career, the book does provide the deepest account of life on the inside of a stock car racing team I have ever seen. The cheating, the backstabbing, Labonte's personality away from the media and NASCAR in general. This book is better than most of the fluff out there.
