Product Information
In The Weekend Starts on Wednesday, NASCAR insider Andrew Giangola scoured the circuit and slept in school buses to find remarkable fans and tell their hilarious, heart-warming stories. With a keen eye for detail and uncommon humor, Giangola probes the open hearts and colorful experiences of the sport s most fervent fans. There s a male nurse who braves death to bring the NASCAR flag to the top of Mt. Everest, and a woman who dons a nurse s outfit when her hero Dale Earnhardt Jr. wrecks; we meet a fellow who goes naked at the track save a Goodyear tire, and a lifelong fan who s been to all 51 Daytona 500 races. Celebrities are not immune from the lure of NASCAR racing either, and the stories of celebrities such as Kevin Costner, Tom Cruise, Brian Williams and Mario Batali are also told as well. This collection of amazing stories opens a new chapter on the extraordinary appeal of NASCAR, and shows why so many are so crazy about this great American sport.The Weekend Starts on Wednesday is a light-hearted, heart-warming, insider s tour of the racetracks and infields of the Deep South, through the heartland and on to Southern California. It s a guided expedition to the soul that truly makes NASCAR the nation s #1 spectator sport: its fans See Author Andrew Giangola interviewed on FOX Television here: http: //video.foxnews.com/v/4313955/nascar-and-its-fans/?playlist_id=87484 "

Reviews
" Three dozen fans is a tiny slice compared with the more than 4.75 million that attendedNASCARraces in 2009, but that was more than enough for Andrew Giangola to understand a stock car devotion that leads them to travel far to camp out in tents and converted school buses at races. Those interviews also provided Giangola an easy title for The Weekend Starts on Wednesday , a collection of vignettes revealing much about the sport's fan base." USA Today "Giangola focuses on the souls of the fans, deftly weaving in details that illustrate the passion Spencer and his mom, Stephanie, share for the two-time Cup champion (Tony Stewart). By all means, buy it and read it." Roanoke Times "It is filled with funny, offbeat, wacky, and heartwarming tales of those with a passion for the sport of speed. The fans all have one thing in common. They can't get enough of what Giangola describes as "the chess match at 180 miles an hour." But, other than that, the people in this book couldn't be more different. And the way they express their enthusiasm for NASCAR and their favorite drivers is equally as diverse. It's a breezy read that you can pick up and dive (or should I say drive?) into anywhere. Each story stands on its own, categorized in intriguing sections that cover a spectrum of topics. I had fun mixing and matching my way through, letting the chapter titles lures me to a page."
