Author Richard Sowers gives fans a single tool, the Performance Index, to help settle their endless debates. Was Fireball Roberts a better superspeedway driver than Dale Earnhardt? How does Jeff Gordon rate against Junior Johnson on short tracks? The Performance Index uncovers the surprising answers.Organized in three sections -- a comprehensive year-by-year review, a statistical biography of more than 400 of the sport's greatest drivers; and a complete listing of NASCAR statistics and records -- The Complete Statistical History of Stock-Car Racing also contains answers to questions like these: -- Who are the oldest and youngest race winners?-- Why does NASCAR credit Bobby Allison with 84 wins while this book counts 85?-- Who has the most consecutive poles on a superspeedway?-- Who were NASCAR's most successful racing families?No other book offers this information. And with some of its controversial findings, it may provoke as many arguments as it settles. If you buy only one book on NASCAR racing, this is the one to have.
