The Pettys : triumphs & tragedies of auto racing's first family / by Mark Stewart.
For more than 50 years, the formula for success in stock-car racing has been surviving and finishing. The more laps you run and th emore crashes tou avoid, the more points you get...and the more money you win. One family,the Pettys, has always approached things a little differently. When Lee petty joined the pro racing circuit in 1949, he believed you wither win a race or you lose it. To him, finishing second meant you had done something wrong. This is the story about fathers and sons and cars- a story about racing, and how it binds each generation to the next.
