Center Street, a division of the Hachette Book Group USA, will release "The Girl's Guide to NASCAR" by Liz Allison on May 1, as part of the NASCAR Library Collection.
"The Girl's Guide to NASCAR" takes a fun and detailed approach to explaining all the ins and outs of NASCAR from a woman's perspective. The book provides female fans with a unique perspective into America's fastest-growing sport.
Liz has been a veteran of the racetrack as a driver's wife and later, as a member of the sports media covering NASCAR Nextel Cup Series events. She was married to driver Davey Allison until his untimely death in 1993. Her dedication to the sport continues today as she covers the sport of stock car racing through many facets of the media. A television and radio reporter, she has written three published books on racing and is a contributing author to numerous race publications.
Quoting Liz on this...
"My passion for NASCAR runs deep. I get so excited about the growth of the sport, but particularly the female fan base. That is, without question, the main reason for writing the book. This book is for the female fan who wants to know everything from what the rules mean, to why NASCAR hands down penalties, how to purchase tickets to a race and how to enjoy the sport more with your kids. I hope my personal experiences will help educate the millions of female NASCAR fans out there who really want to know who, what, when, where and why."
Center Street will host an official launch party on May 2 at Mere Bulles restaurant in Nashville, Tenn., to unveil "The Girl's Guide to NASCAR." Liz will also hold an autograph signing April 29 in Talladega, Ala., at Wal-Mart store #432. Accompanying her will be her father-in-law and former NASCAR Nextel Cup Champion, Bobby Allison.
