Southern Heat
(Stock car racing)

     The southern brewed sport of stock car racing is dominated, as we know, by Nascar. Perhaps because of this long standing position, they have done a better job than most preserving their segment of the sport; racing collectables dedicated to stock car racing created the hobby as we know it today. They’ve done a wonderful job, but, as with all situations like Nascar’s, they can’t help but show you the version they want you to see. So, when this print was developed, the thought was to show some things that are off the beaten track so to speak. Lets play "20 questions". Do you know: What Winston cup used to be called; what Richard Petty did in 1966; what was under the ticket booth at a Georgia track; when restrictor plates were used for the first time; has Dave Marcus ever won a race; who was nicknamed "soapy"; who competed with Nascar for stock car supremacy; what was the PDA; how dominant was Richard Petty; And what did a bankrupt Bristol sell for? Interested yet? Try this one; nearly 30 years ago, a young driver overflowing with natural talent burst upon the scene, finishing in the top 10 in his first three Nascar races. Can you name the 1^st Jeff Gordon? There’s  so much more, along with all the legends when they were young and in their prime. This is beyond a must have, your knowledge of the sport won’t be complete without it, because we’re the only ones who are going to tell you!
