“NASCAR fans often call their favorite drivers their ‘heroes.’ But as you’ll read in The Weekend Starts on Wednesday, through their devotion, generosity and community spirit, NASCAR fans are often the real heroes in our sport.”
—Rick Hendrick, owner of Hendrick Motorsports
“NASCAR fans travel the farthest and root the hardest for their favorite athletes. Andrew Giangola has collected an entertaining array of stories showing that incredible loyalty and passion, from an astronaut checking in on the race from outer space to Purple Heart soldiers feeling a special camaraderie at the track.”

“NASCAR fans at the track are in a place they love, and no one has to tell them how to have a good time. Andrew Giangola really captures the fun fans are having, and the reasons they come out in such great numbers.”
—Two-time Academy-award winner, Kevin Costner
“This book reads as if Erma Bombeck and Mark Twain had a kid and set him free in the infield to cover NASCAR fans. I laughed, I cried, I wanted to get in my car and drive really fast.”
—Janet Evanovich, best-selling author
