Quick Spins.(Review)(Book Review)
Daytona 24 Hours, The Definitive History of America's Great Endurance Race by J.J. O'Malley, hardcover, 400 pages, David Bull Publishing, (602) 852-9500, bullpublishing.com, $89.95.
NASCAR founder Bill France also had an interest in sports cars. When the Daytona Speedway opened in 1959, France created the infield road course for sports car racing there. Each chapter of this book is a rundown of the famous race, with titles such as Ford Unveils the GT40 (1965), The Many Uses of Duct Tape (1971) and Father vs. Son, Husband vs. Wife (1985). This tome provides good photos, a driver index and race results.
