GHOSTS OF NASCAR: The Harlan Boys and the First Daytona 500 by John Havick is an exciting Nascar/Non-Fiction. What a tale! Packed full of information, pictures, and so much more. You do not want to miss your chance to learn more on not only three boys from Halan, Iowa but on racing itself.

"Three racers from Harlan, Iowa who competed in the Midwest and specifically in Council Bluffs, Iowa and the Omaha, Nebraska area: Johnny Beauchamp, Dale Swanson, and Tiny Lund."

So much more that just a story of race car drivers, but, their lives, expectations and careers. A tale of Nascar of yesteryear as well as today. Racers of yesterday and today will enjoy this story, I believe. Rather you are new to Nascar or an old Nascar fan, you are sure to enjoy GHOSTS OF NASCAR. I did, and I have to say I am not a race fan frantic. Very educational as well as entertaining. A true treasure for any library. What a joy to read! Well done! Received for an honest review.
