Plug said The Real Thing. A friend purchased this NASCAR Vault for me several years ago. I in turn bought this for a friend's father this year. Whether it be for a short or long time NASCAR fan, this book is the ultimate gift. Everything you ever wanted to learn of this sport, be it the bootleggers who were the early racers or the late great Dale Earnhart, it is here. Actual tickets, decals and copies of the early payout to the drivers are included. I read it from cover to cover and will do so again. You cannot go wrong wi. "Awesome NASCAR history lesson" according to L. Wilson. The book has an amazing amount of historical information, and the collectables are incredible! You feel like you've stepped back in time to the memorable events that have made NASCAR what it is today. A must have for fans and racers alike.. Nascar Vault This is the coolest book. I saw this and thought my dad would absolutely love this for Christmas. We exchanged gifts yesterday and it was the best - the look on his face and the fact that he knew a lot about this history and he remembered the actual patches for the jackets and the bumper stickers from when they first came out. This is the best present I got him this year and he was more than happy with this book.
