Sinopsis

In this officially licensed and stunningly illustrated volume, get a thrilling, up-close-and-personal look at NASCAR’s mavericks and key moments from the dawn of the sport to present day.

In every sport there are mavericks—trailblazers, risk-takers, hell-raisers, forward-thinkers—who drive the breakthroughs and advances that shape and define the sport. Written by longtime motorsports journalists H.A. Branham and Holly Cain, NASCAR Mavericks covers the NASCAR story in chronological order, focusing on key movers and shakers—the men and women key to the sport’s evolution—often related through first-hand stories. Racing great Tony Stewart’s foreword sets the scene.

Accompanied by exceptional images sourced from NASCAR’s archives plus other top photographers, the profiles include such NASCAR legends as:

Bill France Sr. and Bill France Jr.
The Flock Brothers
Lee and Richard Petty
Smokey Yunick
Janet Guthrie
The Earnhardts
Humpy Wheeler
Tony Stewart

Interspersed with the maverick profiles are sidebars highlighting legendary races, machines, and events like the first Daytona 500, Plymouth’s Hemi Superbird, record-setting pit stops, Jeff Gordon’s T-Rex car, and more.

NASCAR Mavericks proves that racing always improves the breed!

Acerca de los autores

H.A. Branham worked in the communications departments at NASCAR and Daytona International Speedway for nearly two decades. Prior to that, he worked as an editor and writer at the Tampa Tribune (Florida) for 21 years. He is the author of Big Bill–The Life and Times of NASCAR Founder Bill France Sr.; Bill France Jr.–The Man Who Made NASCAR; The NASCAR Family Album; The NASCAR Vault; and NASCAR Mavericks. Branham, a graduate of the University of South Florida, is a native of Indianapolis, Indiana. He lives in Ormond Beach, Florida, with his wife, Catherine.

Holly Cain, a veteran sports reporter, has covered all forms of auto racing for more than three decades–from Richard Petty, Dale Earnhardt, and A.J. Foyt to Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson, to today's stars such as IndyCar's Scott Dixon, NASCAR's Kyle Larson, and Formula 1's Max Verstappen. Cain has worked at major newspapers in Tampa, Dallas, and Seattle, and numerous online publications such as AOL Fanhouse, CBS Sports, NASCAR.com, and the NASCAR Wire Service. She is the author of Rusty's Last Call chronicling NASCAR racer Rusty Wallace's farewell season. She makes regular appearances on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio along with Tampa-based television stations as a racing analyst. Cain, a graduate of the University of South Florida, has two children and lives in her hometown of Lakeland, Florida.

Tony Stewart is one of the most versatile racers of his--or any--generation. After a twenty-year NASCAR driving career, the last eighteen in the NASCAR Cup Series, Stewart retired from his driver duties following the 2016 season to focus on his co-ownership of Stewart-Haas Racing. His new Tony Stewart Racing Team joined the NHRA in 2022 with two full-time entries, one driven by his wife Leah Pruett. Stewart himself returned to the track full-time in 2023 in the NHRA's Top Alcohol Dragster class. Since first wheeling a go-kart in 1978 at a Westport, Indiana, racetrack, Stewart has won 13 driving championships during a career highlighted by three NASCAR Cup Series titles. The Columbus, Indiana, native came to NASCAR in 1999 by way of the IndyCar Series, where he was series champion in 1997. Before making his mark in Indy cars, Stewart won four United States Auto Club (USAC) open-wheel titles. Stewart has been inducted into numerous halls of fame, including the NASCAR Hall of Fame (2020), the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America (2019), the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Hall of Fame (2018), and the USAC Hall of Fame (2016) among others. Stewart lives in his hometown of Columbus, Indiana. He announced in 2023 that he would replace his wife behind the wheel of the TSR Top Fuel dragster in 2024 as the couple focused on starting a family.

Ross Chastain, an Alva, Florida, native began racing at age 12 at Punta Gorda Speedway in his home state, in the "Fastkid" division. At 14, he moved to the Fastruck Series and then raced Crate Late Models at age 16. During his short-track racing career he scored more than 50 feature wins. All of this prepared him for his next steps: two wins in the NASCAR Xfinity Series and four in the Camping World Truck Series before debuting in the NASCAR Cup Series in 2017. The 2024 season was Chastain's fourth full-time in the Cup Series. He drives the No. 1 Chevrolet for Trackhouse Racing–a team owned by former racer Justin Marks and entertainer Pitbull. In 2022, he won his first Cup Series race at the Circuit of the Americas in March and got his second victory a month later at Talladega Superspeedway. He ended that season as the series championship runner-up. Chastain is nicknamed "Melon Man" due to his family's longtime watermelon farming business.
