Winning in Reverse

Winning in Reverse

July 1, 2019

by Bill Lester with Jonathan Ingram

The amazing and dramatic story of Bill Lester, one of the most well-known NASCAR drivers in history—and a pioneer whose determination and spirit has paved the way for a new generation of racers.

NASCAR has traditionally been a southern, white man’s sport, but it was knocked off its axis when Bill Lester entered the playing field. Bill did not grow up in the sport as so many other drivers had. He enjoyed racing as a side hobby while he worked as an engineer at Hewlett-Packard until, at the age of 40, and while standing on the brink of peril or promise, he quit his job to pursue racing full time.

by Jonathan Ingram
with Dr. Robert Hubbard and Jim Downing

A comprehensive look behind the scenes of the crashes that took the lives of some of racing’s major stars from 1994-2001. How the death of Senna, killed by an errant suspension piece, started a safety revolution in F1 and around the world. CART’s role in the introduction of the HANS Device. What really happened in the Earnhardt crash? A highly readable account of the politics behind the changes that saved major league racing from a mass exodus of sponsors, manufacturers and TV partners.

‘A great read for those interested in racing and racing safety.’
– Art Garner, author of Black Noon

‘Ingram sifts stories from racing’s extensive canon to replay racing’s worst nightmares through drivers’ eyes.’
– Jim Mullen, co-author of Brian Redman: Daring Drivers, Deadly Tracks

‘The racing world was likely saved from extinction.’
– Steve Olvey, author of Rapid Response.

Unseen Earnhardt - The Man Behind the Mask

by Al Pearce and Jonathan Ingram

Veteran writers go behind the usual stories about the Man in Black. Published in 2002, this beautifully illustrated book is a collectors’ item with only a handful new first editions available.

‘The fresh storytelling qualities of Jonathan Ingram reveal an inside look into the life of NASCAR's legendary seven-time Winston Cup champion …Al Pearce, NASCAR writer who chronicled Earnhardt throughout his entire career, puts the races of this legendary figure in pole position. Nigel Kinrade's stunning color photographs, along with Don Hunter's notable archival images, pay a fitting homage to this legendary driver. Filled cover-to-cover with never-before-published photographs of Dale at the track, in the pits, and relaxing with his family at home.’
