- Traces the evolution of the Dodge Charger Daytona and Plymouth
SuperBird from wind tunnel prototypes to kings of the American
racetrack and the American road.
- Top
Speed: Dodge and Plymouth Stock Car Racing - Across decades
of thrilling competition, many of NASCAR’s greatest
drivers—from Marvin Panch to Jim Paschal, Richard
Petty to Buddy Baker, Bill
Elliott to Ward Burton, Ryan Newman to Kasey Kahne—have
thundered around America’s legendary racetracks at the
wheel of Chrysler Corporation’s Dodge and Plymouth stock
cars. Power, innovation, and design have characterized
these remarkable vehicles, and NASCAR’s record books
have been written in the wake of their no-holds-barred competition.
Now, the full story of Chrysler’s conquest of stock
car racing is told in TOP SPEED: Dodge and Plymouth Stock
Car Racing. Written by award-winning motorsports journalist
Frank Moriarty, this book begins with the corporation’s
first sales and earliest laps, then marches through the years,
arriving in the present-day world of the NASCAR “Car
of Tomorrow.” Like Moriarty’s best-selling SUNDAY
DRIVERS: NASCAR Winston Cup Stock Car Racing and the acclaimed
SUPERCARS: The Story of the Dodge Charger Daytona and Plymouth
SuperBird, this new book introduces you to all the machines
that have made Chrysler’s racing efforts so successful.
But equally important are the men behind the wheel, and you’ll
meet them all—including a special section containing
exclusive conversations with Richard Petty, Buddy Baker, Pete
Hamilton, and the legendary crew chief Harry Hyde.
