Timed to hit bookstores just as ESPN revves up a five-month countdown to the July 29 Allstate 400, this remarkable book revisits all the faces, places, and chases that made NASCAR the No. 1 spectator sport in America.

Filled with eye-popping photography and driver's seat insight, it comes equipped with a fully loaded DVD containing all 100 moments from the televised countdown.
