"50 Years of Stock Car Racing" By Ken Breslauer

Title: 50 Years of Stock Car Racing
Author: Ken Breslauer
Published Year: 1998
Pages: 143

The reality of this book is that it actually talks about the different types of collectibles that stock car racing has. Each area is looked at, and advice on how to obtain items and just facts about the different types of collectibles are included. My favorite part of the book is actually in the pictures that are found throughout it. Old programs, tickets, even patched and old official arm bands have pictures in the book.

I am one of those people that saves every little ticket and program I pick up at the track, so I was able to identify with the idea behind collecting these types of things. This book though is just an idea starter and not an actual go-to for the actual collecting. The author does include other places to seek out for more information in the end. The reader also needs to know before reading that some of the terms are already outdated and some of the facts are no longer accurate for the present times.
