Kyle at 200 M.P.H.: A Sizzling Season in the Petty/Nascar Dynasty

Rating:
Summary: Excellent-- an intimate look at the sport and its people
Review: Gaillard skips the simple sensationalism that usually accompanies Nascar writings, choosing instead to tell a real story. He explores the history of the Nascar culture, the people that comprise it and the sport's surprising ability to get in your blood for good.

Review: In Kyle Petty, Frye Gaillard has the most interesting driver on the NASCAR circuit, and he makes the most of it. This is a well-written, intelligent, and surprisingly candid recounting of a Winston Cup season. If you've ever wondered what the drivers say when the TV cameras are off, you should read this book - instead of the usual "I gotta thank Goodyear for puttin' an awesome set of tires under me...", you get lines like, "There was a little turd driving number fifteen that ran all over me." If you're a race fan, you'll love it.
