Publisher's Synopsis
The careers of all successful auto racers start with their first win - Richard Petty at Charlotte, Dale Earnhardt at Bristol, Jimmie Johnson at Fontana, Chase Elliott at Watkins Glen. '50 First Victories' chronicles the journey of NASCAR's best as they drive their way to that landmark first victory. For some, it came on an out-of-the-way dirt bullring now lost to all but memory; for others the breakthrough win was scored on one of auto racing's giant superspeedways before thousands of fans and the all-seeing eye of television. Journalists Al Pearce and Mike Hembree have been along for the ride for much of NASCAR's long history.
