LIFE IN THE PAST LANE: A History of Stock Car Racing in Northeast Wisconsin from 1950-1980
by Joe Verdegan
The heyday of the northeast Wisconsin auto-racing scene featured grandstands packed with fans eager to cheer their heroes and jeer the villains. It was an era in which drivers often used junkyard parts to build their rides, and cars might trade hands over a card game.
Author Joe Verdegan introduces you to the characters and behind-the-scenes stories that played out at tracks throughout the region. Sit in on interview with the drivers, promoters and car builders who made racing the hottest ticket in town.
