In this long-awaited autobiography, the legendary Bill Elliott details his childhood in rural North Georgia, building cars from scratch, struggling on the anonymous small-time tracks of the South to his against-the-odds rise to the pinnacle of NASCAR stardom: Winston Cup Champion.From Daytona to Talladega, from Bristol to Sonoma, ride shoulder to shoulder with Elliott as he battles Dale Earnhardt, Darrell Waltrip, Ricky Rudd, Rusty Wallace, and Alan Kulwicki for NASCAR''s ultimate prize. Through Elliott''s eyes we meet the colorful cast of old-school characters who built NASCAR: Cale Yarborough, Junior Johnson, the Allisons, Carl Kiekhaefer, and, of course, the France family. We join Bill in the car (and under it) as he sets the all-time record for the fastest official speed ever recorded in a stock car (a record he still holds today).Learn the secret—revealed for the first time—behind the Elliott family''s unquestioned mastery of the sport''s super speedways. Watch NASCAR grow from a southern diversion into a national phenomenon, and see Bill Elliott grow with it, ultimately becoming one of the sport''s most popular heroes. In 1985 Elliott captured the inaugural Winston Million and became the first NASCAR driver ever to appear on the cover of Sports Illustrated. Three years later he captured the Winston Cup Championship. He went on to be voted NASCAR Driver of the Decade for the 1980s by NASCAR fans. He was also voted Most Popular Driver sixteen times.Elliott also shares his thoughts on the dark side of the racing life: the stresses it can place on relationships, the ever-present physical risks, and the weight of fame. He addresses the racing-related deaths of competitors and friends. He is candid and critical in discussing the intense rivalry between him and the late Dale Earnhardt, and he sheds new light on their storied relationship as well as on Earnhardt''s shocking death. Elliott discusses the future of NASCAR with critiques of its management and restrictor plates, and he takes on the controversial issues of track and driver safety.A window into the compelling personality of Bill Elliott, as well as a primer on the ascent of America''s fastestgrowing sport, this is the definitive insider''s view of the rising NASCAR nation. - Häftad, Engelska, 2022

How should a historian with personal experience of their topics write about them? Exploring the author’s own experiences with Munchausen Syndrome and Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy (MSbP), this book analyzes how various historians have managed “the personal” and their scholarship.It shows how influences on history such as anthropology, psychoanalysis, and literary theory have furnished the tools for historians to be critical about their selfhood and their scholarship. It also examines how histories that try to resist the marginalisation of groups (on grounds of gender, race, sexuality and mental health) have sophisticated discussions around the implications of the historian’s experiences for their scholarship. While these have been intermittently taken up in various ways, discussions of the specific implications of experiences on the scholarship remain rare. The book uses these discussions and these tools throughout an archival and intellectual history of the diagnoses of Munchausen and MSbP, showing specific implications for this study and proper accounting of the shape and content of this history.This groundbreaking volume offers academic historians an opportunity for reflection on the link between who they consider themselves to be, and what they think, argue and write. - Inbunden, Engelska, 2015
