A physicist explores the science of speed racing
"NASCAR fans will flock to this book."With 75 million fans, NASCAR is the #1 spectator sport in America. Now, in The Physics of NASCAR, a scientist explains the intricate and complex way the sport works, in terms that anyone who drives a car-or maybe occasionally looks under the hood-can easily comprehend. Based on her extensive access to NASCAR race shops, drivers, crew chiefs, engine builders, and pit crews during races, Diandra Leslie-Pelecky traces the life cycle of a race car from its creation at top race shops to competing in the door-todoor action of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. - Booklist "To understand what is happening on the track... you need The Physics of NASCAR." -The New York Times "Language sports fans can understand... You'll be as entertained as you are informed." -The Sporting News "The people she encounters are fascinating... Even if you are not a NASCAR fan, read The Physics of NASCAR." -Physics Today |
