American grit lives on in the brutal and often breathtaking sport of racing. This book shows the beauty and savagery that comes with the territory; not dissimilar to the picturesque, danger-fueled landscapes of the far west, where cowboys roamed.

This is a celebration of the spirit of the west that is preserved in all those who breathe high octane race fuel, who sleep with their boots on, who turn their heads to the sound of V8 thunder. This book is a dedicated to those who race.
