What is Full Throttle : The Life and Fast Times of NASCAR Legend Curtis Turner about?

"A superbly researched and engagingly written biography" of NASCAR legend Curtis Turner, known as the Babe Ruth of stock car racing ( Sports Illustrated ). Curtis Turner's life embodied everything that makes NASCAR the biggest spectator sport in American history; the adrenaline rush of the races, the potential for danger at every turn, and the charismatic, outrageous personality of a winner. Turner created drama at the racetrack and in his personal life, living the American Dream several times over before he died a violent and mysterious death at the age of forty-six. In gripping prose, and with access to the files of Turner's widow, sports writer and author of NASCAR Generations Robert Edelstein offers the first complete chronicle of Turner's life. From his days as a teenage moonshine runner in Virginia, through millions earned in fearless finance deals, to his incredible comeback after four years of being banned from the NASCAR circuit, Full Throttle lets you ride shotgun with the legend.
