Awesome Bill from Dawsonville: My Life in NASCAR

This book is truely awesome! Many times I wondered why things were happening in NASCAR and at his own expense Bill Elliott lets the truth be known. If it were any other driver complaining you would know to take it with a grain of salt. But Bill has an enormous following for a reason. The man is truely a talented and driven individual, who comes from good stock(no pun intended)and good down to earth people who ask for nothing they haven't worked for. And to reach the top of his chosen sport, doing things the way they did is just amazing. I came into this sport at a time when Bill was just getting started and was quite impressed to find out the inside stuff. During the 80's NASCAR was a great enjoyment for me and my brother. It was something we both enjoyed and brought us and our families closer together. It was truely a great time for NASCAR. Then came the 90's and then present day, where it is definitely a different sport. Bill talks about much of this in his book and honestly it has hit very close to home. I must say i'm not much of a fan anymore, things have changed so much and for the worse. I miss the old days where an independant team could compete and be successful, and it wasn't just the Elliotts, there were several good independants, but those days are long gone...I hope someone steps in and rights the ship because their heading down a road they won't be able to return from. All but the top team has had to take on partners, how much longer can NASCAR stay in buisness if their not profitable? I guess we'll just have to wait and see but I can tell you this, if your a NASCAR fan, even if you don't like Bill or have a different favorite, this is a must read. Thank You
