Daytona and Talladega are more than racetracks. They are the high-banked proving grounds where American stock car racing learned how fast it could go, how close cars could run, and how costly the pursuit of speed could become.

Drafting at the Superspeedway: Danger, Pack Racing, Big Wrecks, and the Science of American Oval Speed tells the fact-based story of NASCAR's greatest superspeedway era, from the beach-racing roots of Daytona to the construction of Daytona International Speedway, the birth of Talladega, the factory aero wars, the winged Dodge Charger Daytona and Plymouth Superbird, Buddy Baker's 200-mph milestone, Bobby Allison's 1987 Talladega crash, the restrictor-plate era, the rise of pack racing, Dale Earnhardt's mastery of the draft, the tragedy of the 2001 Daytona 500, and the safety revolution that followed.
