Book of the Week #26

Live Free, Drive Fast: Behind the Scenes at the New Hampshire International Speedway by Allen Lessels (Concord, NH: Plaidswede Publishing, 2006) It is a sure sign of summer in New Hampshire when the local restaurants and bars start sporting "Welcome Race Fans!" signs and banners. I noticed quite a few of these messages as I drove down Route 3 this week, so it must be time for a book about the NH International Speedway. July 1 marks the first NASCAR race of the season at NHIS. The author of this behind the scenes look at the Speedway is a sports writer for the New Hampshire Union Leader and a resident of Contoocook, NH.
