New Book - 'One Helluva Ride: How NASCAR Swept The Nation By Liz Clarke



Today while channel surfing I caught the tale end of an interesting presentation and conversation from Washington Post writer Liz Clarke on C-SPAN's BookNotes.

She has written a book on NASCAR called One Helluva Ride: How NASCAR Swept The Nation.

Some really good points were raised by the author and audience members on what it's like to live in an area such as DC/MD/VA and to be a NASCAR Fan at the same time.

From radio coverage and it's lack of to the only way to tune in being FOX, or paid TV like cable for the SPEED CHANNEL and ESPN, etc.

Here are some interesting links and video:
