As Darlington's track photographer during that time, Tom Kirkland used on of the period's few cameras to feature automatic film advance.

His resulting mastery of the photo sequence hatched a collection of long-forgotten images that capture some the most heart-stopping finishes and bone-crunching crashes NASCAR has ever witnessed.

Readers are also treated to rare shots of NASCAR heroes on the track, in pitlane, and atop the winner's podium.

The season-by-season coverage of NASCAR at Darlington features brief introductions for each chapter and detailed captions for every photo.

In addition, quotes from drivers, owners, and others are interspersed throughout.

The book is capped off with a comprehensive appendix listing vital statistics for all NASCAR races held at Darlington during the period.
