Fabulous Fifties: American Championship Racing

Fabulous Fifties: American Championship Racing, with a foreword by Champion Rodger Ward, is packed with hundreds of vintage photos and championship results, and includes a host of great first-hand stories about the era's prominent drivers, mechanics, builders, promoters, and owners.

With box scores and statistics of all the National Championship races throughout the 1950's, this fine book chronicles the formative years of America's post-war National Championship, when very brave and very tough young men vied for victory on a host of dirt ovals and Indianapolis, with little more than an inexpensive helmet to protect themselves.
