Chicken Soup for the Soul – NASCAR (2 Winners) – CLOSED

by Mommy on April 19, 2010

Chicken Soup for the Soul is making it’s way into everyone’s homes and hearts.  There are books that will appeal to everyone tastes and the latest book that they have come up with is for the NASCAR lovers.  I myself am not really into sports cars or racing for that matter, but it didn’t stop me from reading some of the lovely stories that NASCAR lovers alike have submitted to Chicken Soup for the Soul.

Here’s a Synopsis:

NASCAR and Chicken Soup for the Soul join forces, with well-known NASCAR columnist Cathy Elliott leading the charge. NASCAR drivers, their families, and teams slow down enough to share their stories of family, fortitude, and fast cars. Readers will get a behind-the-scenes look at the action on and off the track. Famous drivers and those closest to them, pit crews, families, and fans all share their stories of perseverance, triumph, comebacks, and life. Fans will get a front row view, and be inspired, surprised, and sometimes amused by these exclusive, up close stories from the track, pit, and the road.

My favourite story that I read is about a family who brought a poster of a loved one to a NASCAR race after they had passed away.  The young mans dream was to go to a race but was never able to make it in person, so his family brought him in photo.  Not only did they bring him to a NASCAR race, but to many other places around the world that he wanted to travel.  They took pictures of him in all the places he ever wanted to be.   This story really touched my heart. NASCAR seems to be a rough and tough sport, but NASCAR lovers have big hearts too and aren’t afraid to use them.

After reading just a few of the 101 short stories in Chicken Soup for the Soul: NASCAR, I gave this to a friend that would appreciate it way more than I ever would.  He is actually reading the book from start to finish and lets me know how each chapter is going.   Some Chapters include: Lessons Learned, Romance and other Acts of Racing, The Secrets to Success and On (and Off) the Track just to name a few.

Not all the stores in chicken Soup for the Soul: NASCAR are the sappy kind!  This is a book that will appeal to both the women and men NASCAR lovers in your life.  It would be a great Father’s Day gift for Dad too!
